My MCU1 (2015 P85D) has been acting funny lately; screen freezing, spontaneous reboots, sluggish performance. Other than longer load times, NAV worked fine along with voice commands. One might think it was a failing emmc chip but alas it is not—Tesla performed a warranty repair replacing the original Tegra board over a year ago
So my question is, is it common that these original MCU just fail with age. I do like Northern California where hot summers are common—did this thing just get backed to death…?
at my request Tesla did diagnostics as “goodwill” so no charge to me. I was told they tried to reinstall the firmware to no avail.
It’s just strange that my original MCU1 was working fine, and about 12 months after the emmc chip recall it failed.
I’ve asked to escalate the issue but that’s something I need to do on my end. I begrudgingly paid the $1500 upgrade fee and will try for reimbursement—I’m sure pigs will fly before that happens but I’ll give it a shot.
