“Today, we are taking the next step in Tesla Vision by removing ultrasonic sensors (USS) from Model 3 and Model Y.” Wow. This was a big question for me. I find this even more wild than radar removal. Can't wait to see how it performs @elonmusk @tesla https://www.tesla.com/...

This sounds like a spectacularly bad idea: Tesla is removing ultrasonic sensors from Model 3 and Model Y over the next few months, and from Model S and X in 2023. Relying on camera-vision only. https://www.tesla.com/...

Apparently Tesla has decided that ultrasonic parking sensors cost too much and they will now be omitted from your $70,000 car. The corresponding features (like beeping while you park) are just being turned off. Why would anyone buy one of these cars?? https://www.tesla.com/...

Tesla is “selling” this as a move to vision. While their vision capability gains might be true, it doesn't make sense to make this transition by short-term compromising functionalities like auto-park. Hence, maybe $TSLA delivery miss was a supply issue? https://www.tesla.com/...

I don't understand Tesla's fixation on a single (complex to process) sensor. Fusing diverse sensors offers so many benefits. I mean sometimes there is fog. https://twitter.com/...
