I have a 2016 Model S with a dead MCU1. It died last week after some minor signs of eMMC degredation. This was prior to the warranty extension announcement.
At the time I requested that they just upgrade to MCU2 as a fix. I figured if I was going to have to get it fixed I might as well get the upgrade while I was at it. My service appointment is next week.
Shortly after I made the appointment, the warranty announcement was made. Right around the same time I was contacted by the SC to verify what the problem was. I asked if the warranty announcement would have any impact on the upgrade cost and they said no. $2500 regardless since it's an upgrade.
So now I'm trying to decide if I should just take the free fix and call it good. I'm actually interested in the upgrade anyway but I don't feel like bailing Tesla out of their responsibility to fix the eMMC in this unit. I'm tempted to request that they do both. Fix the MCU1, then upgrade it and give me the spare parts. Maybe the repaired MCU1 could help someone out who is out of warranty?
Anyone in a similar situation?
