Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

[dipper]

Same here. At least I don't have to rush since my 4 years warranty is about to expire. I have been seeing crashes and stuck streaming radio a lot more now. So any month now.

Guess enough bad press works.

Whoa. just got the email below:

I got the same. Looking forward to my refund.

And in true Tesla fashion, the link does not work!

Got it too. Now I wonder how they will diagnose it to confirm coverage.

I am also wondering. I have several notes of them doing the work cleaning cache. Telling me where I stand on the read write cycles. Then paid for MCU2 infotainment upgrade. Will settle for transferable FSD. Glad to see some acknowledgement from the PR department.

 

[dipper]

got the same email as above, I already paid for replacement. Kind of unclear what our next steps are....wait?

If you upgrade to mcu2, you are stuck with the bill. If you got daughter board replaced, the letter said you get a refund.

Hah, Tesla doesn't have a PR department anymore.

Hmm, my humor might have passed you on that one.

Got the email too.

My faith in Tesla has been restored...a little...

But my appts to have this done have been pushed back a month. Do they actually have any parts, and will I have to wait in line again?

@EV-Fixme , I’ll be emailing you for my receipt!

Oooh, I wonder if Tesla will honor third party repairs vs official daughter board replacement at a Service Center. I hope they do...

Verbiage sounds promising for you!

It sure did, haha.

 

[EV-Fixme]

Yes anyone who didn't receive a receipt initially please send me all your contact info, and I will cross reference our details and send you the receipt. We will be doing this as quick as we can.

 

[BigTonyTones]

About time Tesla!

 

[TATsla]

Confirmed. Got the same email.

Finally, it happens! want to see if people already paid for it will get their money back.

Instead of making you do all this warranty reimbursement work, they should Reimburse YOU, and other 3rd parties that stepped up to the plate, while Tesla was out to lunch on this issue.
