Looks like I might have called it literally right before they released this article! Frankly it reads a little like they are ready to start delivering cars now that they have published this, and the verbage in the article feels that way. As always, I think we'll see soon.
Makes sense, the cars I saw gathering dust at Raleigh SC build dates were May 1 and later. Article states the transition occurs May 2021 builds. Which also lines up with the spreadsheet and all our detectives here in the forums awaiting delivery.
We may see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Technically it says starting with May deliveries, so it may be for builds starting on March and April that have been held up. That would explain why some Model Ys have been delivered in the past few weeks up to 182xxx. Those cars still had radar and didn't rely on the new firmware for their Autopilot and FSD features to work as advertised.Makes sense, the cars I saw gathering dust at Raleigh SC build dates were May 1 and later.

I'm curious if something else has improved with the removal of the radar? Maybe camera resolution or processing power?
Here is a statement in that press release: "Starting with deliveries in May 2021, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for the North American market will be optimized for Tesla Vision ..."
I wonder what Optimized means?

Almost definitely just marketing speak. “Vehicles will be optimized for the new thing” is better ad copy than “vehicles will no longer have the old thing.”

Hey man! I’m not allowed to send you a PM since I’m a new member. Did someone from the Bloomington SC call or text you yet? They have internally matched me with a VIN but nothing has changed in my account for quite some time
Easiest one way rental is to get the cheapest moving van you can find... moving vans are expected to do one way trips.

Good news,
I just received a call to schedule delivery of my model Y. The firmware with the Tesla Vision update has been installed.
I’ll post the new firmware experience.
This must be the start of delivery of all pending model Y’s.

Helping people in space!
There have been a few posts on the various Model Y subreddits this morning of people receiving their VINs for orders placed in late April and early May, so it looks like things are starting to move. 
I received my VIN this am and my ETA for Delivery at the Plano TSC has updated to May 31st - June 6th.
My ETA was missing the last couple of days and was an 8-12 weeks generic window for a couple weeks before that. I had a June 20th - 30th window for the first part of May. Ordered my Model 3 SR+ on April 11th.
Takeaway is VINs are coming and TSCs everywhere appear to be finalizing Firmware for Teslavision, new Chips or even a mix of both.
Hang in there and hope everyone enjoys Memorial Day Weekend!

Got my VIN over the weekend. Sure sounds like they kept us all waiting because they removed the radar before they even had a super basic version of the AP software that worked without radar. Now they have temporarily shut down some safety features until they can pull sufficient data from the new fleet to guarantee the new setup won't perform significantly worse than it did with radar... Just my 2 cents.
