Yes. That's how mine started but it was continuous Bluetooth and wifi failure and then music and then all sounds and then black screen.

Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

Yes. That's how mine started but it was continuous Bluetooth and wifi failure and then music and then all sounds and then black screen.
Of the people who have upgraded from MCU1 to MCU2, how has your repair quality been? My screen used to be flush with the top of the trim. Now, there’s a lot of BLACK screen showing (smaller on the right side and larger on the left side) with the metal trim somewhat wavy. Is MCU2 LARGER than MCU1, hence it needs more space? I’ve included two photos - my Model S after retrofit and my partners Model X (which came with MCU2) with the screen flush with the trim.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing this or if my service center did a crummy job putting my dash back together.

From my experience reading of these types problems here and TM? Yes. What year is your car? Let me guess '15 ?
I got the upgrade last week, I noticed this on my car too. They actually somehow warped my upper trim so they are replacing it on the 8th, I'm hoping it will help with the issue.
BTW, nice username, OSU alum here! Go Beavs!
For those that care sometime since June 1st. 2020 Tesla has updated the warranty and reduced the coverage on MCU replacements. It is now only 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Good catch Mike. Very good info. I book marked it and downloaded the pdf from Wayback Machine. I could not find an effective date. But no one can set a warrant on something, then make it retroactive backwards to serve their purposes. This could impact a difference going forward from an effective date. We need the effective date. But being able to reference it from Wayback is an excellent back up. We know they can't just change it. Haha.
How did you find that they made this recent change?
Mike, I posted this info on TM S's forum. And credited you. Sorry if you didn't want that. Too late. You might need to move to another country. I will miss you, buddy.

I wonder if it is because they realize it is a crappy design and they don't want to pay for it when it fails.
Lol timing coincides. This is like Enron being warned about an oil spill coming and instead of trying to fix it or prevent it, they take out a bigger insurance policy
Nope and the parts shortage in the US likely means other markets will not open up per the schedule posted on Tesla's site (unsurprising). I did overhear service center staff discussing Tesla opening up US to AP1 vehicles and how it will be popular and likely result in lots of demand.
I have to think Tesla makes significant money on the upgrade and therefore Elon will have motivation to fix the supply issues and begin worldwide installations as a pandemic-proof income stream.
I posted this on the tesla subreddit and am getting torn to shreds by the fanboys

Tesla subreddit is a cult.
If the wheels were falling off their cars they'd post about how great of a company Tesla is, how innovative Elon is, and how much the stock costs.

Tesla removing 2 years of warranty on this is a real bummer.
I'm debating doing the upgrade now vs later.
I already have a ranger coming by to do the FSD upgrade. I really am not feeling dealing with Tesla service again. It seems like it's becoming a clustertruck again with some people not getting new screens.
Has anyone here done the FSD computer first, then the MCU2 after?

We have a few fanboys on TMC also. If you get tired of reading their posts, click on their TMC name and then click on Ignore and you won't see any of their posts in the future.
Torn to shreds for what? For just sharing that Tesla changed their warranty?
