🚀 For Enthusiasts of Tesla Cars!

Course Overview:

This comprehensive course is designed for individuals passionate about Tesla vehicles and their advanced diagnostic systems. Dive deep into the world of MCU (Media Control Unit) and its iterations, from MCU1 to MCU3, and learn how to effectively interact with your Tesla's diagnostic features.

Mastering MCU:

• MCU 101: Discover the transition of Tesla models from March 2018 onwards. Learn about the upgrade path from MCU1 to MCU2, and the Intel Atom processor that powers MCU2 and MCU3 devices.

• Driving Status Insights:

  • Real-time power usage visualized on the power meter during acceleration and deceleration.
  • Autosteer availability indicated by the icon's color shift from gray to blue.
  • Selection of drive modes such as Park, Reverse, Neutral, or Drive.
  • Monitoring driving speed and detecting other vehicles on the road.

Connectivity & Diagnostic Modes:

• LAN Ports: Access hidden ports after activating Factory/Developer mode in the Tegra CPU for LAN connections.

• Diagnostic Modes Activation:

  • Gain access to diagnostic modes through Factory or Developer modes, with each mode offering unique capabilities and visibility into vehicle alerts (errors).

• Loki Diagnostic Hardware: Utilize Loki for advanced diagnostics, including:

  • Resetting valet, pin to drive, and speed limit pin.
  • Reading/Writing Tesla car configurations.
  • Installing firmware, maps, and changing map regions.
  • Redeploying devices and car parts when necessary.

Navigation Maps Installation:
