Don't think of it as a Tesla in chill mode. Think of it as a somewhat fast Toyota Prius.

This is Tesla, they could raise the price again or more likely just stop offering the upgrade...
Remember, they know exactly how many MCU1's and MCU2 are out there, as they all call home, so they can plan very precisely.
Damn-it... just found that my doors won’t unlock from the app since my upgrade. I figured that since everything else worked, before I left the SC, that the remote door unlock would work. WRONG!
Or ...ignore my long rambling previous post. Could someone be so kind as to confirm that my previous 3G connection should have been upgraded (it is still 3G after MCU2 upgrade).
Yep fixed in about 10 minutes after texting with service.This happened when they replaced my MCU 3 years back at the 50K warranty mark. They were able to fix it remotely by downloading certs or something like that.
Of course. Their precise plan changed from "not our problem, doesn't affect new sales much, perhaps even drives some" to "forced to offer a fix" courtesy of NHTSA.I think you're correct and that they planned this very precisely
Try to get a Ludicrous Upgrade on a P85D now. NOPE. Tesla stopped offering it ~ 4 years ago... and installed the last one ~ January 2018.
Yes, way ahead of time (even before the first upgrade was performed). It was announced it was going to be available for 6 months and only to original owners who purchased before ludicrous was annouced. Tesla offered it for ~18months and did not enforce the "original owner" or "purchased before ludicrous available". So bottom line is that it was offered to more people for way longer than announced.Off-topic but since you brought it up, how was this handled back then? Did people get a warning it was going away?
No, Service Centers can no longer order the upgrade kits for the 85 battery (nor do they train their new techs in how to perform it, as it is a bit involved). Your best chance of an upgrade would be the aftermarket guys, but they will void your battery warranty AFAIK (the upgrade involves taking the main battery apart and swapping internal parts).Even if Tesla won't do it at a Service Center, will they sell the parts?
It seems to be SC dependent. Some were reporting that, since the new price, they did not get the HW3 upgrade included. It would make sense for Tesla to just upgrade these cars when they have a chance so they don't have to work on them later.Owner of July 2017 Model S here (AP2.0 Enhanced AutoPilot and MCU1), I have my MCU2 upgrade scheduled at Costa Mesa SC for March 2nd. My $1500 upgrade invoice ($1616 with tax) clearly shows that it includes HW3 Upgrade (AP3). So for those wondering if the AP gets upgraded, it appears mine will be upgrade from AP2.0 to AP3.0 which is awesome since Enhanced Auto Pilot is good enough for me - I dont need the car to change lanes and read street lights for an additional $5,000.
Yeah, I use it for my Blackvue and it's still working after the upgrade.Is anyone using the 12V power source in the headliner? I'm assuming it's still good after the upgrade to MCU2?
Off-topic but since you brought it up, how was this handled back then? Did people get a warning it was going away? I only recently got a P85D used with Insane+ so I wish it could still be upgraded to Ludicrous somehow. Even if Tesla won't do it at a Service Center, will they sell the parts? Since the previous owner didn't do it within that window you make a good point about the Infotainment upgrade.
I wonder if for mcu1 it will be even better too. Not that it’s needed, indeed.Its been reported here widely that 2021.4.3 > improves rear camera view. Its now even better than it was with MCU1 use.
MCU1 doesn't have any 2021.X.X updates.I wonder if for mcu1 it will be even better too. Not that it’s needed, indeed.
