    (Model S pre-2018) Have you had your eMMC replaced? If not, consider removing pin-to-drive

    Following on from a description of my recent experience in France, recounted on the Europe/UK board. Quick summary: while driving in a remote part of France, I did a 2-button reboot (because it seemed that I had lost internet connectivity) -- and the result was that the main screen would not...

    Model S - No data from emmc

    Hi I understand there has been a lot of discussion about emmc failures, how to fix and what to do. I am in bit of a situation and trying to work out the best solution moving forward and cant find an answer. I am working on a 2016 model S that was received with a black MCU screen (and also in...

    Recall Service Resulted in 45,000 miles lost from odometer!

    Jack, the Tesla mobile ranger who comes to the house to do misc. service, highly recommended that I take our 2016 (HW v1) Model S in for the 8GB eMMC Recall as we had been having trouble with the screens going blank (but thankfully always recovered after awhile). It was something he can’t do on...

    Upgrade MCU1 to MCU2 outside Tesla Service Centre

    Hi guys, I’m looking for someone to upgrade the the MCU1 in my 2015 P85D Model S (AP1, HW1) to MCU2. I figured I could buy a compatible MCU2 from a 2018 car and send that with my MCU1 to someone to copy the data over. My issue is the eMMC has just failed (probs possible to recover the data) and...

    Car powers off every time I park

    Hi all. Something for you all to ponder as you continue to digest your turkey. I had my 2016 MS in to get eMMC upgrade a few weeks ago. Ever since, the car powers down every time I park and get out of the car. Does not affect the center touchscreen at all. That comes on as soon as I get in the...

    2013 Model S sudden battery failure

    We own a 2013 Model S 60 RWD with 65,000 miles. Warranty expired in March 2021. eMMC has not yet been replaced under the recall - car still has the original MCU1. It has had two replacements of the 12V battery, most recently in April 2021, and a few other issues prior to warranty expiration...

    Denied eMMC replacement - what to do?

    So got my official recall notice that parts are available, and I should proceed with scheduling my eMMC replacement for MCU1. So, do so, drop it off... At the end of the day, service notes say to the effect "does not need replacement at this time... check back later to see if eMMC has reached...

    eMMC recall replacement - had 3G to LTE modem replaced for parts cost

    I had my 2013 Model S in for the eMMC recall/replacement. While I was waiting on the eMMC part to arrive, I messaged the TSC asking what the cost would be to replace my 3G modem with the 4G/LTE board. TSC in Decatur, GA quoted me the parts-only cost for the replacement ($118.21). Plus they fixed...

    MCU1: Black center screen / mcu failure caused by a faulty navigation MicroSD card

    Hi all. Just a informative / warning message from me :) There is now a new, until now largely unknown, reason for getting a full black center screen on a first generation MCU1.0 found on cars up to and including 2015. This report does not cover the newer 1.5 MCU found in 2016 and newer cars...

    MCU1 Bricked After EMMC replacement?

    I know this is beating a dead horse and this subject has been covered in numerous threads. As a long time lurker I haven't posted until now, but I'm kind of at a loss about this situation. I had been having issues in my 2012 Model S with the touchscreen glitching or acting up (no...

    What sets time zone? (another dying MCU1 whine)

    Like a lot of us, I have a near-death eMMC MCU1. Had an issue with Spotify crashing and causing either a reboot of the Tegra screen or an infinite loop (where music would restart prior to getting controls back, causing a crash again). On an unrelated (I hope) issue requiring a trip to the SC, I...

    Why I'm Not Opting for Full Self-Driving

    I'm inching closer to yielding to temptation and buying a 3 or S. Like all prospective new owners, I'm grappling with the FSD option, and have decided against. I realize many of you sprang for FSD, so I hope I'm wrong! But here fwiw is my reasoning for saving the $10K. If I'm missing...

    Blank MCU, indicating eMMC failure but EVERYTHING works?!

    Hi, Yesterday my car turned on as usual but the MCU display never came on, after a few reboots I figured the infamous eMMC issue had finally found its way to my car. After reading a bit on this forum I found some normal symptoms that indicates a eMMC failure, for instance the mph instead of...

    eMMC issue? Only the eMMC or more? And can 12volt battery cause issues?

    Hi all, first, I apologize if I failed to search existing threads and find all this info already. I did go pretty deep in the eMMC wiki sticky, which was very helpful. But it didn’t answer all my questions. I have a 2013 Model S 60kwh with about 54,000 miles on it. I did not have the eMMC...

    MCU1 car.key location

    Hi, I managed to create new operation system but I think I put the car.keys to wrong location. I just copied them to partition 3 but I didn´t make any folder for them. I read somewhere that they need to be in subfolder /var? What is the exact location for them and how can I move them over LAN...

    Inconsistent control of sunroof and AC through the App

    My car is parked in the sun in my parking lot and it is a warm day. I decided to check if my cabin overheat protection was working (I know it is set to 'on' in the car) so I opened the app. The app reported an interior temp of 117F, which concerned me because the COP is supposed to keep the...

    EMMC Hyunix

    Tesla Model S the big screen stopped glowing, but the car continues to move nominally. From various sources it can be seen that the memory of Hyunix was damaged. How to read and write it to a new chip?

    Is jouw eMMC al vervangen ?

    Ik zie dat er steeds meer mensen hun eMMC al laten vervangen of dat van plan zijn. Ik ben zo langzaam aan wel benieuwd hoe serieus dit probleem lijkt te worden.

    Successful data recovery of broken eMMC chip MCU1

    For more information about what happens when the eMMC chip dies, see: Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) My story was that last summer (September 2019) the eMMC chip of my Model S from 2013 failed. It has 260.000km on the ODO and the chip failed before I was able to replace it. I did put on...

    Replaced MCU, Tesla wants to keep part of my old MCU (need legal argument)

    So a few days ago my MCU goes dark due to the well known eMMC issue. At this point I am unable to charge at home or at the Supercharger so I'm at the mercy of Tesla and have my car towed from the Supercharger with 7 miles left on my battery. My warranty is over since I'm hovering around 59k...
