2013 Tesla Model S P85 MCU2 and CCS upgrade

My live channel:

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Did the same 2 month ago. Was worth the money!

How about a Autopilot upgrade?

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.

[pigedehekkan]

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.

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

[DESMX]

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

[travisshopp]

Nice! Was wondering if you were gonna do tjis

[MrTechfreak]

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.

[ModPhreak]

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...

[sleepertesla]

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

[guseks]

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.

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