TESLA WON'T STOP REMOVING FEATURES | THIS ONE HURTS

EV Channels Review

The video discusses Tesla's recent decision to remove ultrasonic sensors (USS) from new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, transitioning to a vision-only approach for features like parking assist and summon. While Tesla claims improved safety ratings and performance with their vision-based occupancy network, the reviewer expresses skepticism, highlighting that essential features will be temporarily inactive at delivery, with no firm timeline for restoration. This mirrors the earlier removal of radar, which also led to feature limitations. The reviewer criticizes Tesla's strategy of removing hardware before software parity is achieved, suggesting it's a cost-cutting measure that inconveniences customers. The video also touches on the Model 3 outselling the Camry in Australia and Elon Musk's potential acquisition of Twitter, framing it as an accelerant for his 'X' vision.
