Anecdote isn’t data but when I went from a Chevy Volt (2016) to a Model S (2017) I was surprised at how much worse the computer in my Tesla is.

Bluetooth is unreliable and balky. Speech recognition doesn’t work. The touchscreen is unresponsive - it can take a minute to type in an address. And sometimes the main touchscreen computer freezes and I have to manually reboot it, which means no A/C or radio or navigation for 5 minutes.

I understand that the computer in my Model S isn’t as good as their newer ones. But I have to say the overall experience is terrible. My Volt had a more functional and reliable computer. I’m tempted to buy a new Model S just to upgrade the computer.

All of this is to say that Tesla may have great technology but it is unevenly applied and they are terrible at support.

Try 2021 of both. You were looking at MCU1. They are on MCU2 now, and it looks like the new S/X may be on an even newer MCU. You will find the typing speed and screen responsiveness 100% reversed.

What is the upgrade path for putting an MCU3 in a 2017 Tesla?

Buy another $140k car?
