Total including 'diagnosis' $1652. 4 year warranty. New screen (which I dearly needed) & 4g so while disappointed, at least the wait is over.
Wow, A SC that actually knows their warranty.

My mcu went black yesterday. After 4 reboots it finally works. 15 minutes of black screen was unnerving but I could tell it wasn't completely dead since occasionally turn signal clicks worked.
If OP bought it NEW when he said he did, then he most likely has an AP2 car.Worn our emmc (memory chips) often die during software upgrades. We offer a upgrade at very reasonable cost, and there is a good chance to recover all your data since the MCU failed recently. Please PM me if you want more details.
AP1 cars are probably not going to get upgraded to MCU2 anytime soon, Tesla recently changed the expected date of availability.
@Vh6852 Sounds like you also have a AP1 car?
Uh, don't you mean "Flash drive" (Flash memory chip) instead of hard drive? No hard drive in a Tesla.Your emmc (hard drive) is likely worn out, if you want 3rd party repair you should do it asap. Next crash could loose your certificates.

what year is your car? your sig doesn't say...My mcu went black yesterday. After 4 reboots it finally works. 15 minutes of black screen was unnerving but I could tell it wasn't completely dead since occasionally turn signal clicks worked.
2016 Dec 23 delivery. 1742xx Vin.what year is your car? your sig doesn't say...
Oh true, FSD in his sig, should be set for MC2 then. Hopefully they can express his upgrade since his mcu is dead.
I took it in Wednesday morning and the estimated completion is tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. They said it doesn’t take long to do the labor it is just that they have to wait on people in California to do something to get everything back online. Not sure what that means.—————————
How long was your car in the shop to replace the MCU?

I'm trying to get service to do the retrofit to MCU2 but they've cancelled on me earlier
Enough currently works but the kids are really upset about the lack of tunes. When I try to connect the Bluetooth it says contact service.
One thing that’s needed is to put the VIN on the HW3 firmware list to get the same firmware but for HW3. My car now that it’s upgraded gets new firmware the first day it comes out (like a new car) since (for a while anyway) it’s at the top of the HW3 firmware list.I took it in Wednesday morning and the estimated completion is tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

just to add to the thread the latest info...just had MCU replaced in SF out of warranty (october 2016 build first of the AP2 hardware but 1 or 1.5 mcu), $1800 for remanufactured gen 1.5 (or 1) MCU. I asked about the MCU upgrade service tech had no clue and was SOO not interested in researching. so if when available expect no help from service folks on replacement in or out of warranty
Altes is spot on. I too was disappointed at the lack of interest in an upgrade. He stressed that the 'new' board would be better than the original but didn't elaborate. I'll know more tomorrow when I pick it up. If it's as quick as the MCU in the 2015 loaner I'll probably be glad I saved the $900 but its never going to be the upgrade I wanted.
