On the MCU1 the instrument cluster is a standalone computer. On MCU2 it is only a secondary display driven by the MCU. So when upgrading they have to replace the instrument cluster too.

Hey Bjorn! Please do a test of the consumption impact of tyre pressures!

That car is so fresh now,i like it

Just did the MCU2 upgrade (@ CHF 1500 - FSD computer already present), it‘s awesome! Will do the CCS upgrade (@ CHF 300) later this month to get v3 superchargers displayed in navigation.

So happy for you👍 you are close to having a 7 year brand new car🤯

Very nice that this type of upgrade is available, not super cheap, but I do not see the price as impossible. Something other manufacturers might take note of, upgrade-able cars, hardware wise.

Awesome video in so many ways!

Huge improvement, especially the seats. I just had the exact same upgrades to my 2015 85D here in Australia. It cost AUD$2780 here. Which surprisingly is AUD$400 (2582 NOK, USD$309) less than you were charged. Normally Australian prices are bad. BTW, I also attached some para chord to my adaptor and tied the other end to inside the rear trunk. I've heard of a few reports of people leaving the adaptor in the charger plug by accident. It would be easy to do. Enjoy your new(er) ride Bjorn.

this upgrade possibility is awesome as there are many used model s p85 for around 30k€ in germany and with ccs capability it's a great value for that money.

Thank you so, I l learned so much.

sweet vid and thanks as always Bjorn; my car needs a new eMMC chip and I keep debating back/forth if it's worth it to go with MCU2 as well; I think I probably will.

Sweet!

Nice to watch your videos about that legendary car. 👍 Personally I prefer the vertical screen any day. I rarely fastcharge, and if I do It's usually because I have to pipi or eat. If I wanted to play games I would buy a PlayStation or something.

Björn, the ranger who build in my CCS in told me: first place adapter to the Supercharger and then plug in your car. I think you already know that now.

Wow i was wondering if the classic Model S even will be able to get MCU2, amazing. :) Almost a new Car :D I never heard from any other company, that they can upgrade the Infotainment etc.

A refresh better than Tesla's own. :) It looks good.

Got an Audi Q4 E-tron add on this vid and MAN that is one good looking SUV! Also nice upgrade with the new MCU, a real step up. Nothing more frustrating than laggy infotainment.

Wow, it's like teleporting from 2013 to 2021 in terms of tech

My mcu on my 2013 model s did the black screen and had the glue seap. I got it replaced with the new mcu1 with 4g and a better cluster screen and it was like a new car. You're making me wish I got the mcu2.

Nice 👍

Wow... 2013 model car. The user interface and its responsiveness still blows away anything legacy auto has ever produced.

The CCS adapter needs to be be connected to the cable before it is connected into the car. Tesla employees say this when you get the CCS upgrade.

Nice! Was wondering if you were gonna do tjis

Nice! Did the same 2 month ago. Was worth the money! How about a Autopilot upgrade?

Nice

I now have MCU2 in my MS 85D and finally USB flac playback is working without interruptions. If only Tesla would fix the album cover art not showing since that one update a year ago. The apps like twitch are buggy though...

I had mine replaced it’s like night and day .

Hey Bjørn 🤠 Nice video! Crank up the volume in MCU2 playing Spotyfi.. I think the bitrate gone up from MCU1’s laggy 128k/bit to awesome 320k/bit or something making love to your asian ears 🏆 they also upgraded the bluetooth module so every wify call will panetrete you.....in thai ofc 😝 maaaan it sounds like a booossh!! Try out the talk recognize also.. everyting works great -just like your videos ✌🏻😎

That mcu2 is so worth it

FYI MisterGreen is in Belgium too already

You could consider a bodycam Bjørn, so you can use 2 hands :)

Hey Bjørn ✌️😊 where you did your steering wheel new…? Thanks and greetings from Trondheim 😇

Don't leave the adapter on the CCS charger when you leave.

MF is looking good, I wonder if Tesla will offer a CCS/2 adapter to the US market?

„...my precious...“ 😂😂😂

Hello Bjorn. What would be the top 3 used model S' to buy in your opinion (between 2012-2014). There are a lot of cheap deals for the 2013 model S base model (on autotrader in USA). I just want to buy the cheapest (rear wheel drive) I can for the best quality and fix it myself as a summer project.

Bjørn - can`t wait until you test the slow charging speed that Tesla reuced last summer. IF / When will tesla offer a 100 Kwh battery upgrade for these cars? About time, as the 2013 cars a soon out of warranty.

Can we stream video while the car is driving for passengers? I am thinking whether to do the update or just get a tablet+holder for my family, and maybe wait for the MCU3 update. I learnt the youtube and Netflix are getting some slow streaming in MCU2s already.

Hei Bjørn, do you expirience any slow 4G connection on new mcu2? after the car have been parked for a while? every time i get into the car , even if its been off for 15 min it takes 2 to 3 min to get 4G to work on my 2016 75D

I also did a MCU2 upgrade with my MS 100D , because of the well known chip problems, I paid 2500€ all working fine now , except for Caraoke is not working , even after lots of updates , I’m very disappointed, in my opinion everything should work as promised wit this price I have paid, no?

I did this on my 2016 AP1 Model S - it's mad a BIG improvement. Only problem is the lack of FM/DAB radio, but that's OK...

I’m considering the MCU upgrade as well. Can someone share their experience regarding stability after the upgrade? Main reason to upgrade for me is that, from time to time, the music app stops working and sometimes the entire MCU seems to crash. The emmc is already replaced, so it seems inherent to the MCU :( I’d be very disappointed if MCU2 were to show the same behavior.

As usual good video with important information. What would you choose between CCS upgrade or buy a chademo adapter. Thanks in advance

I contemplated the MCU 2 upgrade 🤔

So in summary: You loose AM/FM radio Emmc chip issue resolved 3G issue resolved Yellow border issue resolved Some instrument cluster have bubble / delamination issues: resolved. Price seems reasonable as it is a pain to get the MCU out. Perhaps preferred updates for MCU2 in the future?

Isn't there a separate computer for navigation? I think the route calculation is not done by the MCU; only the display is faster, not the rout calculation....

Does the mighty millennium falcon has ACC? 😅

CCS adapter to USA please. Hurry!

Wait. MCU 1 doesn’t necessarily means you don’t get LTE. Two different things. I have MCU1 (circa 2018) and it has LTE. The actual bigger issue that I experience with MCU1 is the fact that Tesla used eMMC memory module of only 8Gb which is now subject of recall in some jurisdictions and documented to 100%fail after certain number of read/write cycles. I had a hell of a time getting Tesla to replace the memory module and finally after years and jurisdictions suggesting Tesla to do it, they finally did it. It was a lesson of bad customer service. Another thing, Tesla encouraged upgrade to MCU2 but aside from the cost (several thousand euros), the radio would cease to operate unless you pay another 500€ or so €. Your video is ok from an MCU upgrade point but there are other factors to consider and part of the story on MCUs should be Tesla customer service which has, at least on me, a bad taste on how it was handled. Btw upgrading the eMMC to 64gb as they have done for me solved lots of the speed issues. You don’t get all the functionality of mCU2 but at least you get to use ALL the functionality you paid for which before you couldn’t.

Did you have an original Gen 1 Onboard Charge Controller or had you upgraded to a Gen 2? I had heard that the CCS Combo 2 retrofit did not work with the original Gen 1 chargers. Great video. Thanks!

Any new updates on the MCU 2?

So was infotainment upgrade BOTH ACTUAL SCREENS??

i have a 2014 mod S. can I use the ccs2 and 3 chargers? what do I need to do? Please, Please kindly advice.Thank you.

It makes me feel comfortable to keep my model 3 for many more years . Somehow many people thinks that after 5 years the car will die like an old mobile phone or computer :p

Does it comes with Netflix and KZfaq?

Hi Bjorn now you have upgraded the MCU. Can you upgrade to basic radar cruise control or lane assist? Then you more or less have a new car

Mcu2 doesnt have TuneIn radio?

Nice option to prolong "life" of Model S. But I think Model 3 is still more practical than used Model S.

Is caraoke working in norway? Hasn't been working in danmark for a year.

Where can I get a CCS to Tesla adapter?

While you still have the Falcon can you please do a video on range mode. How long does it need to warm up? To what temp? How does that compare with it turned off? Why is HVAC affected? Is it only heating that is reduced?

Bjorn, how do the old seats on your 2013 P85 compare to the seats currently used on S/X or 3/Y? I hear they are not so great in comparison.

will I get higher charge speed if I use CCS convertor?

What other car could you upgrade like this? None! Just amazing.

Did they install something underneath the seats for the CCS upgrade? it can't just be the adapter.

after 7 year, lot af update too the pixel is better today, but it is stil okey

In Ukraine some masters can put AP1 to 2013 tesla))). Not official upgrade for 4k euro :))))

MCU2 upgrade will remove the analouge radio daughter board completely, but you can buy an additional 500€ digital radio option with dab/FM. If you ask Tesla for an LTE upgrade for MCU1 it might be about 500€ for a stand-alone thing, but if changed when the eMMC recall is done it might be about 150€, since they replace the whole board and reuse the original 3G daughter board.

Would someone comment on this- how much is mc2 upgrade in the US. 3g will be going away Feb 2022 so given the option to upgrade to lte for 200 usd however is that a waste of an upgrade and instead pay for the mc2 upgrade which I assume will already have lte. Thank you for your anyones helpful comments as to mc2 pricing and any other insights

Where did u do the upgrade?

Hi! I have model s 2016 and I don't have youtube and Netflix))) how you replace mcu, who did it for you?))

Can we have a charging race between Tesla Super Charger and the CCS adapter?

Wtf... i have an old P85 as well. And when i got the car i called Tesla Norway and asked them about if its possible to upgrade the car so that i can watch youtube while charging and she said No my car is to old for that... ffs

With the new unit, do you still have DAB radio ?

Clear your navigation history, it will speed up the searches

EQS test?

I would not recommend mcu2 at all. Service outside of Tesla SeC's is made more complicated. I only last week upgraded a mcu1 SW version 8 P85D MS car to v9. 2019.12.1.1. The "slowness" comes by intention from tesla itself and not from the mcu1 hardware. The v8 browser worked crazy "schnell".... like in times when I purchased my car... LTE we usually install for 1. 3k NOK. So why spending 20K?
