dying for this on my ap1 car
Soon. The 2020.12 update fixes the GPS hardware issue that prevented MCU2 retrofit for AP1 and older Teslas. My service center staff was literally talking about moving onto older Teslas next month, so I would expect July will be big for them since the a major chunk of the Teslas in my area are AP1 and older (big time early adopters as well as lots of CPO/used sales).
I think what is limited the upgrading is parts, knowledge, and service center availability in the pandemic. They clearly got pretty good at this in the 6 weeks since I last tried and I expect they'll be a learning curve with them on the first few AP1 and non-AP cars but it should actually be easier since there is no APE to connect for non-AP.
And when will that update be rolled out more widely to AP1 cars? Been a while now and per Teslafi they don’t seem to be pushing it quickly.
I think Tesla is waiting until they have parts and ability to actually retrofit. They've been pushing each of their "groups" that qualify for MCU2 upgrades back for months now. I had a failed MCU1 and Tesla couldn't put an MCU2 in despite the fact my car was eligible at the time for MCU2 but had been greyed out for HW3 (even though it is the same install as a 2.5 car).
The other issue is that the kit currently comprises a MCU2, IC2, and HW3. Tesla will have to build a specific kit for AP1 and a different kit for non-AP. It won't be hard but Tesla takes it time with existing owners while it focuses on getting new owners. It is a frustrating thing and there are no answers from Tesla. We can only surmise and guess and hope it comes to pass.
The only good news is that Tesla solved the one major issue with the GPS module incompatibility. That was a major impediment. So that progress should give everyone hope because if Tesla really didn't want to do MCU2 upgrades, they wouldn't have done that fix.

It makes sense that it will not roll out to AP1 cars ahead of installing the MCU2 upgrade. More likely, it will be installed the day of MCU2 installation. That way they can insure its installed, and working with MCU2.And when will that update be rolled out more widely to AP1 cars?

oh don't say that. You might actually be dead before it happensdying for this on my ap1 car
I really hope they realize what a poor design and stupid idea this was. A recall is needed. Having it designed to fail after 4-5 years is unacceptable. I'm not asking for them to replace everything with mcu2, but they should be able to repair the emmc issue. This is what happens when you ignore your "flagship" vehicles. This issue has been known now for over a year.

Do you honestly think they “designed” to have it fail in 4-5 years?
They offer replacements.
They offer upgrades.
3rd party offers repairs.
Now should Tesla offer the replacements for free? That’s debatable.
The options now are pay $1400 for another mcu1 with the same design. Or $2500 for mcu2. Option 1 should be a free replacement with a mcu1 that has an emmc like mcu2
All settings seemed restored (at least the ones I checked), see Tesla Theater, all the games, etc. The autopilot finished calibrating on the drive back, however, the summon screen showed camera(s) still calibrating (99%)
When mine was done, the only thing I needed to 'redo' was BT and Wifi (as those are new hardware with new MAC addresses, as expected). I have no idea why some people had to do redo Homelink, as my settings were migrated. I wonder if it's an option on the settings app that didn't work/didn't get checked, who knows. But it's definitely possible to migrate that. And I didn't have any gap/protector on the IC, either. (Looks like I definitely lucked out, being either the first or second one that Tysons did!)
