Will the CT come with MCU3

[VolklKatana]

Actually there are many stories out there where Tesla forces you to update. It’s not an option.

I have seen stories like this but there is always a 'but' if you do not connect the car to wifi, it cannot download updates

I am preemptively upset about not getting MCU4.

Me too. I just hope that’s they manufacture a MCU that is upgradable and brand new for the CT. That way my 2023 CT Tri will not be outdated by 2025.

I think that no matter what it comes with, within two years something 'new & improved' will be offered.

That's just the way it is. As you have experienced.

This is so true. My wife and I are seriously considering getting a Y now. And I'm having the back of my head voices saying:
"QC will be better next year"
"They might switch to better batteries soon"
"What if they lower prices again right after I buy?"

But I find comfort (yes, actual comfort HAHA) in knowing that in August of 2021 I would have the same questions.

I think everyone is ordering and hoping for better batteries and more
Range for a lower price.

I am anyways

I hear your frustration about all of this, and I think I understand the question better now. You are asking whether we [all] want the computer (or other key components) to be upgradable in our expensive new truck. I know that I certainly want it to be plug updatable. I do not mind so much paying for upgrades but to have the thing become disfunctional due to updates, when the skin and batteries (and likely the motors) will outlast my lifetime would be an unacceptable affront. My understanding (very limited experience so far) is that Tesla now has upgradable computers. HW2 owners seem able to upgrade to HW3. I just hope that Tesla continues along these lines.

I might add that I am on my second Lexus and nothing about the computer system has ever been upgradable. I was able to upgrade the maps in the navigation system but it cost me hundreds of dollars and hours at the shop. Tesla is way ahead of the pack in that way.

They are technically upgradeable, even my hw1 could be upgraded to hw2 for about 2500. Personally, after 10 years of ownership, I think that is a totally acceptable price to pay considering the only other serviceable parts are brakes and tires!

Could you dispose of your boat to me?

LOL, I guess you are referring to the boat in my profile photo. That's NOT my boat. It's actually Stars & Stripes, one of Dennis Connor's America's Cup boats.
