To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

HW2 cars are $500 more because they force you to buy HW3 as part of the MCU upgrade, in spite of the car "having all HW needed for FSD."
Plus, he literally listed a door handle, charge port door, and two tail lights as part of the $2800....
Questions for owners of first deliveries of refreshed Model S
Hi @omarsultan when you get a chance (and it's safe to do so), could you please post a photo of the instrument cluster when the car is navigating to a destination? thanks in advance.

So MCU3 is roughly 2-3x better than MCU2 which is in turn as much as 10x better than MCU1…

Sorry for the confusion. Yes MCU 2 + both screens was $1500. Add door handle, charge port and two tail lights on top for a total of $2700 (they ended up knocking $100 off the door handle fix since the same door handle was replaced a year and a half ago....).
Speaking of MCU 2, even for an AP1 car I think it's well worth it. Maybe I'm blind, but in the audio settings I noticed a new "immersion level" toggle. Set it to high, music sounds absolutely amazing. Maybe it's placebo, since my car has the HiFi audio pack and the loaner S I was in didn't. My wife and I don't have a home charger so we use the supercharger multiple times a week together when we're out and about in the city. Having Netflix/YouTube/Hulu and even the Careoke (that was a fun one last night!) is well worth it. I almost feel like I'm in a new car. Time to figure out a way to reupholster the terrible (IMO) next-gen seats...

I have a non Teck pkg 2014 model S, no nav or trip planning, still 3g. Tech says I'll gain both and LTE by doing the mcu2 upgrade for 2k cdn. I plan to keep the car another 4 years minimum. No brainer to do it? Any chance it gets cheaper?

You don't have navigation? What do you use the MCU for then? For the faster navigation with waypoints alone the upgrade is worth it for sure. I don't see it becoming any cheaper but with Tesla you never know.
No brainer. Unlikely to get cheaper. Moderate chance it gets more expensive. Unlikely to see an MCU3 version in the next 5 years.

Got the upgrade today and it added navigation and trip planning to my non texh pkg car!
I got the upgrade last year for faster browser response for sites like TeslaWaze, and Tesla Winds and Elevation. It definitely makes the screen more responsive. However, Tesla has removed geo location tags in a recent "update", so many interesting web sites are no longer available.

I asked the developer of TeslaWaze about the location issue and he said to use Twitter and Reddit to complain about this as Tesla monitors these apps.

You ordered it through the Tesla app as a service request?
It's highly irregular this is taking more than a month.

All location-based apps like TeslaWaze and Tesla Winds and Elevation no longer work with the recent software update.

The browser should work fine with the MCU2 upgrade... try loading Google or Tesla as a test.
How about the key fob and the MCU2 upgrade? Do the fobs need to be "paired" again with the new MCU?
Honestly I'm not sure what the fobs are paired with ... with the MCU or another part separate from the MCU?
Does your second fob you did not give to the Service Center still work?
Tnx.
