The fact that the cameras cannot see over the bumper (hood) and the fact that Elon stated that "Vision and HD radar" would be better than vision + radar makes me hopeful that we will get HD radar one way or the other... of course that could be rather irrational hope.

2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware
- Thread starter jxab029207
- Start date
Did you consider the possibility it’s magical Vision that can see around/through solid items?
Dang…. Now you have my head really spinning!!
Unfortunately, I have spent the last 25 years in optics and manufacturing of precision optics to keep me grounded. Better chance they have HD radar buried in there somewhere.

New theory: non-USS cars already have HD radar installed and it will be enabled via SW update in Q1.
For real? I know you said 'theory', but did your hear this from somewhere?
I like this theory, but sadly I don’t think anyone at Tesla is as sensible as you are!
I took my delivery of 2023 Model Y, it does not have USS!! I have been driving cars with USS for the last 10 years, now
parking with Model Y feels like going back to the stone age!! Very bad indeed.

Page 4 of this thread and a member is showing how his ‘23 Y has the radar mount already installed.
Tesla Radar Speculation
There are four documents pending release, the “Internal Photos,” “External Photos,” “Test Setup Photos” and “User Manual.” Likely just waiting for someone at the FCC to hit the approve for release button on their end. Looks like Tesla requested the FCC to hold off the release until February 7...

There is zero prospect that (as per your parent post) currently delivered cars already have a major new component installed and no one has noticed.
There’s a small possibility the mount might be present but that’s a very long way from confirming current vehicles will be easily upgradable to use it.
And, to go back on topic, it’s unlikely new radar will have anything to do with USS replacement, at least initially.

Virtually all Birds Eye view setups are creating a virtual image by combining multiple camera images and filling in the gaps with computer generated imaging. I would be happy with having that instead of USS. It can fill in gaps in image as the car moves by calculating distance moved and direction and using prior images to synthesize the new images in real-time. That would be good enough to assist with parking which is what we need it for. Our old 2017 Chevy Bolt had this feature and even though the image quality was poor it was good enough to make parking easy.
Was never informed or signed any disclaimer about lack of park assist or USS when taking delivery of MYLR in late Nov. user manual shows park assist functionality instructions. Have not received 40.4 release but those who have indicate still no park assist for non USS deliveries. Anyone considering class action?

In this case I think it would be justified. Just have to be sure there’s no fine print in anything you’ve signed that might contain language about features being changed without prior notice.
I suggested this on another thread (they even continue to advertise/sell EAP yet most features within it are currently non-functional - no fine print I can see) and someone pointed out there was verbiage in the contract that prevents coordination and requires arbitration.
But I’m sure there’s some JDs here who can speak to this better.
I really miss the USS
It’s been been 3 months since Tesla’s announcement there were no ultrasonics anymore.
I really doubt there is a new component in the non-uss cars like radar which is dormant and noone noticed.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the real TV update to restore all lost functionalities in january

Wow I feel grateful to have gotten my 2023 in November, with USS. I would have been pissed, and wife even more pissed had I not. Tesla is the only co who can do so much right and so much wrong at the same time.
