Ah. 13 pages for this thread just to get to the true question. You won't find the answer in all 13 pages. This remains one of the universe's greatest mysteries.

What does your service center think?I have the AP2 + MCU1 combination... Past two weeks I`ve been having an odd set of problems that a two-screen reboot didn`t fix:
- GPS doesn`t work (always shows me at home, which is not great for long trips that require charging)
- FW updates fail (5 tries so far)
- Climate won`t stay on (says the battery is low, even when it`s at 80%+)
- Screen dimming doesn`t work automatically (need to set t manually)
And a series of small glitches. Does this look like an MCU problem to you?
I’ve said it before, I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.
MCU1 to MCU2 upgrades? They definitely will. Some evidence in the latest MCU1 firmwares that they’re getting ready for it. They added some tools in the firmware and on their servers to help migrate user data/settings/etc from MCU1 to MCU2.
Can you be more specific? Sounds interesting.....
Starting with fw 2019.12 they added a script to the MCU1 firmware called profile_xfer_utility.sh that can backup up your settings to Tesla's servers so that they can be restored onto an intel MCU2 unit.
Maybe that there so the profiles can be restored to a replacement MCU1 unit? What specifically about that script makes it clear that it's for upgrading to MCU2 and not just MCU1 backup/restore? Say, for instance, if you have an MCU1 or MCU2 as a loaner car, you can restore all your own settings for the duration your car is in service.

I would bet on that happening long before, and if, MCU2 upgrades become available.
I remain skeptical we'll see an opt-in MCU1->MCU2 upgrade program. Too many other things to focus on to solve a problem that's not really a problem.
Also if it happens, we should be prepared for the possibility that it's only for newer cars. I can't picture them wanting to support AP1+MCU2 or Pre-AP+MCU2, for instance
I'll admit that I don't know much in this area, but I don't think there's that much of a connection/dependency on the AP version and the MCU. I could be wrong, though.
Yeah, especially if they time it to do FSD, yellowed screen and MCU all on the same visit. Seems like there would be a great profit opportunity, without much additional labor cost while the dash is opened up.If they price it right (make some profit for the retrofit), there's no reason they can't support it on pre-AP and AP1 cars.
