Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

But it isn't related to this thread at all. Even if NHTSA forces a recall people will just get one of the new Tegra daughterboards, not a MCU2 upgrade.

I think the OP was speculating that the Tegra supply would be exhausted.
I also believe that NHTSA is likely to rule against Tesla and order a recall.

No. Just no. Fantasy.
Well after more then six months finally dropped my S off in Orlando for the upgrade. At least 6 to 7 days to complete!

Where are people getting nice loaners from. The 2 times I've gotten a loaner it was a old S.

If you are nice to the staff, flexible on schedule, and drive far, far away from town that helps I think.

I consider an "old S" a nice loaner.

Every time I've gotten a loaner I couldn't WAIT to get my 2015 P85D+ back !!! Love its Ludicrous power, Plus Suspension, and Michelin PSS on Arachnid wheels combo. The only Tesla I drove that was in the same SMILES PER MILE category was a P100D (non-Raven). It had more power but the suspension was too "floaty" for me. Hoping for a killer deal on a new MS body in 2 years when our Tesla extended service plan expires... and FSD is actually working.

As the owner of an old Model S, I take offense at that aspersion. Best car I have ever owned. Smile every time I drive it.
Could we try to stick to the topic of MCU1 -> MCU2 upgrades?
Thanks,

I agree NHTSA will rule against Tesla which will mean free fixes for all. I’ll take the upgrade at a reduced price though, not retail, they have to pay for their mess. My screen has constant windows which don’t render, the updates are taking their toll. MCU1, 2019 62k miles

They did not rule against Toyota and the bad MCU in the '04-'05 Prius. It was up to the customer to repair the cars and the fix from Toyota cost about $4000+

Did the Prius MCU also control the backup camera and headlights and other essential functions of the car? Not a rhetorical question, I am really curious to know.

I think it can be argued it is, as I gather one of the issues of a failed screen is that the airbag warning lights are permanently on, giving no indication as to their actual status. Also, the loss of access to de-mister and fog lights could also have safety implications.
Tires are a safety item also. If you get a flat, you pull over and have it repaired.
If a radiator hose or water pump fail, you pull over and have it repaired.
My headlight switch in my BMW (smartly coded to the VIN so it cannot be replaced cheaply) failed and I didn't drive it until it was repaired.
