Upgrade the MCU you will not regret it. They may recall your screen for the memory chip if it has not already been replaced. The old screens get a yellow boarder that gets worse overtime. If the car has FSD they may upgrade it to the 3.0 hardware from your 2.5. I have almost the same model without air and glass roof, RWD tends to eat tires as I am finding out so keep them rotated to get 20 or 25k out of them. If you have winter weather or salty conditions service the brakes every year (remove rust and dirt from pads and lube contact surfaces). Tesla comes out with new things all the time, your car might have options that are no longer available that you want or don't want in my case so trading in for a newer one may not be worth it. I use the car connector that comes with the car on a 14-50 outlet and it works fine, you really do not need a wall charger.

you need to get MCU2, I have it on my 2014 p85 and it makes it feel like a brand new car.. it will affect your driving experience, because it is NOT just the chip.. they replace both your screens! the resolution is amazing.. the back up camera looks much better, the sound is better and you get all the new updates, first. Oh and yes, get a 240 box for your home. my old Tesla has "dual chargers" so it will charge at 22kw, instead of 11, but even then, it depends on how much you are pumping in. I only do 30 amps so I get 21 miles of charge per hour, which has always been just fine.. even on days where I drive a lot, if I am home for an hour, adding back 21 miles has made my day easier. so GET that MCU2 really! just think.. you got FSD for almost nothing.. make your car feel like new. btw, I have 105,000 miles on my car and I love all evs. and I will be keeping mine for as long as I can

Only Tesla could get away with that because of their high demand. But I think overall they did a really great job of staying within their specified guidelines. Then don’t specify MCU because all Model S & X built after 2018 came with MCU 2. And all Model 3 and Y ever made have MCU 2 as well.

So welcome to the Tesla family and you may not be a fan boy yet but you will be! So I’ve had my Tesla Model 3 now for a little over 2 years & when took delivery it did have a few issues, but as you said, nothing that would have made it a dealbreaker & all of the issues were easily fixable & they were, so like you I don’t have a way to charge at home because I live in an apartment complex, so I charge my car exclusively using Tesla supercharger‘s! So when I first got the car the nearest Tesla supercharger was approximately 17 miles away in another state, however, since then Tesla has installed 2 additional superchargers near where I live & now the closest one is 5 miles away in my state! So I have the longe range battery pack & since I do not have a commute because I’m retired, I may need to charge the car a couple of times a week depending on my driving needs for that particular week, no real big deal at all! Of course with the adapter I have access to charging stations even closer than the Tesla superchargers, but because of the slow rate of charger, I almost never use them & some are free like at certain Whole Foods stores! So the way I see it if anyone comparing a Tesla to any other car is comparing apples to oranges, because there’s so many advantages to owning a Tesla & I’m hoping that they do a refresh on the Model 3 & offer the yoke steering wheel & air suspension as an option, that will make the deal real good & it’s something I will definitely can get excited about! So Elon if you’re listening, make it happen brother!

Congrats on the Tesla! I have a Model 3, and agree with many of the things you like about it. To be fair...pretty much all of the things that you don't like about your Tesla are because you bought a used model from 2017. All brand new Tesla Model S has the features you want and like. It's like buying an iPhone 7 off of eBay and complaining that it doesn't have the features of the iPhone 12. So that brings me to an interesting point that you alluded to. Yes, the car improves with age due to over-the-air software updates. But there is a hardware limitation for that software. You will eventually get to a point in time where your current hardware will not run the latest software, and you'll be left behind. Just like a smartphone...same concept. In fact, I tell people all the time that I treat my Tesla like I do my smartphone. I always charge my phone at night so I have a full charge for the next day. My Tesla is no different. It charges in my garage off the 240v Tesla wall charger while I'm asleep, and it's ready for me the next day (I drive about 110 miles roundtrip per day). My Model 3 is also White on White; the perfect combo...and yours looks great! Again...congratulations!

Might check the Tesla Motors Club forum for how people got that done (free). I have a 2019 X with 2.5, but I didn't spring for FSD.

Your charging experience improves 10 fold after installing a 240v outlet in garage. If possible, go for a nema 14-50 outlet. My gen1 UMC cable delivers 29-30 miles per hr charging. I installed two, one for primary house and other for vacation home. Frequent supercharging is not good for battery so mix lots of slow charging with less frequent fast charging. Complete that move ASAP!

I can imagine what a huge difference it’s going to make not having to worry about plugging it in every single day! And you’re right about the damage supercharging could cause to the battery. Thanks!

Moved yet? If not, maybe there's a 110v that can be upgraded to 20 amps? It'd be a new breaker and a new outlet and probably less than $100 including the additional pigtail for the mobile charger. Go NEMA 14-50 if you can. That charges our 2021 Model 3 at 34 mi/hr. The nearest supercharger is only 15 mi away if we're in a hurry, but that'd mean we just got back from a trip and needed to head out immediately.

Do you happen to have a 110v 20A plug in your garage? Google NEMA 5-20 and see how it looks. It can accept one of the prongs being horizontal. If you have that, you can get a $35 adapter from Tesla and that will allow you to charge ~33% faster. Your 30 miles would become ~40 then...although idk why you only get 30 miles over night, you must work late and leave early?

No I actually charge in my garage and it doesn’t have that. I guess it’s a little more than that sometimes if I charge for 10 hours. But sometimes I’m very busy or get up early to do things before work so it doesn’t get to charge that long.

Also a side note that no other KZfaq channel seems to talk about with the upgrade is the Tesla app on your phone sync so fast with your car now.

Very good review! Had similar experience with what you had; Overall I love this car! Am struggling with changing to the MCU2 chip, because you lose AM radio - I listen to news and traffic reports - however, i can still stream from my iphone if I wanted to. Only thing that is really holding me back from the upgrade is shortly after I got my car, less than a month, only 30K miles on it - 2016 90D - i got a warning indicator that resulted in spending almost $2 K on a coolant heater repair! Not a money issue , but it took some wind out of my sails.. Dampened some enthusiasm. Anyone else out there that had this repair??
@TheTechMillennial Жыл бұрын
AMAZING car! I ended up getting MCU 2. You can opt to get the radio module also installed for an extra $500, so it comes out to $2,000 total. I thought about doing the upgrade without the radio for $1,500 but I also do use it a lot.
