Hi All,
I'm in the market for a CPO Model S and wanted to ask the community their opinions of MCU1 vs MCU2. I've done the forum reading, the Youtube watching, and I test drove a Model S a couple months ago at my nearest Tesla store. What I'm seeing in Tesla's used inventory is about a $10k difference or so on the bevy of 2016s that have the features I want and the 2018s that are similarly equipped on any given model (i.e. 2016 75D vs 2018 75D).
Basically where I'm at is that I don't care about the "while parked fun features" (Netflix, games, browsing, etc.). What I do care about is navigation and car functionality while driving (cabin temp, car status, music, voice recognition, etc.).
As for the rest of the car: I don't care how many miles are on it (I only put about 6,000/yr on my current car), I really want a heated steering wheel (which means I'm looking at the subzero package for a 2016), the extra $10k is a bit of a stretch to me, but is doable, and I really want a dual motor car.
Is MCU 1 "good enough" that I won't really notice the difference too much coming from CarPlay in my current car or is it definitely with the price difference? Also, if the answer is "it depends" then does gambling on a future MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade from Tesla factor in at all (should I consider this a pipe dream or will Elon make that happen sometime in 2020)?
Thanks all!
