What happen when the MCU die? Does the car is still driveable or is it a brick?
Old MCU
... I hope it was under warranty!
When I had MCU failure mobile service had me pull the main fuse (don't recall now which one it was) to shut down the entire car for a "hard reboot." It didn't fix the MCU but I did recover very limited charging. However, I was charging at about 280 watts to the battery, which is way slower than typical level 1 (~1000 watts, of 1440 total from the wall), and it took so long to get useful charge the car wasn't really useful until the MCU was replaced. This was with my usual 240 V UMC.I got an update. Before installing the update i restarted touch screen. Screen never came on. Tried reboot no luck. Tesl still charged at home but ac was running 24\7. Tesla sent ranger and he said mcu has failed.
He tried 12v unplug and removed fuses. No luck. Now dac is off but does not charge at home. I went to super charger and dies not charge their either.
At home it says charging complete. At super charger it said 'battery level exceeds charge limit'.
Anyone know if i can do any thing to get it charged. Any fuse i can pull.
Will contact service center again in the morning to get the thing replaced.
love the car but I'm very sad and disappointed that if the center screen goes out in the car can be undriveable.

Did you get the faster processor and LTE with $2300? or getting the newer screen is more expensive?I just had a complete MCU failure. Did the same....."Charge complete". I had 200 miles left on my charge that was slowly ticking away on a vampire draw. Fortunately after a ranger visit confirming the failure I decided to drive the 60 miles to my SC asap or I would have to flatbed the car down later..... You can pull the computer fuse AND the main battery loop for a while. I did that with my ranger but my MCU never came back from the dead. $2300 later back up and running again on my 2013 S.

My partner happened to be playing with the screen and noticed it said LTE instead of 3G now....OMG. Only paid about $2k for the MCU and no $500 LTE upgrade. Did they just throw it in? It was a refurb MCU for sure and no "goodwill" lines for an LTE device....
quite a rip-off to replace a $10 part.
How much labor is involved in replacing that $10 part?
I know people who would do it for $600-700. You do your own dash-disassembly/reassembly, though.How much labor is involved in replacing that $10 part?

Well, if you value 1 year mcu warranty at over $1k - sure.So once you add the R&R work the total cost would be about $900. So Tesla is charging more than double, but they do give you a 1-year warranty... And you would get to keep your old MCU/screen so you could sell it and re-coupe some of the cost...

Personally i would not be selling mcu from my car on ebay without wiping it first which is kind of hard to do when its bricked. there are some privacy issues there.
there's still some data on the gateway too.Well if it’s bricked, no point including a broken eMMC. Just desolder it and then sell on eBay.
