So your assuming. TBH, it wouldn't surprise me... I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Well I'm guessing based on what they've done in the past with other things. Nobody knows of course, but in several other threads on this same subject I think most people seem to think the radar will be disabled in the future.

Considering North America is the only region losing radar? Yes... I guess we'll see...

I did see this:
"Tesla says vehicles currently equipped with radar will continue to utilize data obtained through its function until the automaker determines "the appropriate time" to transition the vehicles to use Tesla Vision."
Tesla Removes Radar Sensors From Model 3 and Model Y, so Autopilot Will Use Cameras Only
Certain vehicle features may be temporarily unavailable as new cars are delivered.

If I got one of these new cars, disabling radar across the board would make me feel better haha!
Take their lumbar function away too Elon, thanks.
I am 100% sure that they will disable radar in the older vehicle at some point, but not until Tesla Vision is thoroughly tested and working a hell of a lot better than it currently is. That is why they didn't upgrade the camera system in the new non-radar cars, so it can be the same for all M3s & MYs. They most definitely rushed it to market for some reason (most likely supply chain issues), but the upside is they will have a lot of real world data that should help them finish it quicker than if they were just using test vehicles. But, I don't want to be a guinea pig while they're figuring out the last 20% of the code to make TeslaVision on par with the previous radar versions.

More likely the software change to eliminate dependency on radar ran behind schedule, but Tesla had already stopped sourcing radar components.
Fixed that for you.
No reason for such a high risk move unless it actually got in the way of delivering finished cars.
1.) Tesla will retain radar on countries where they have NO choice but to keep it.
2.) Tesla fleet with radar will be used to validate Tesla vision for those without radar.
3.) Radar goes away from all at some point in the future whether it was installed before or not.
Thinking of putting up my wife's 3SR for sale since people are so obsessed over trivial and/or deprecated future functinality.
My 3 has
Radar
Passenger Lumbar controls
... and
FRUNK HOOKS.
HAVES = Me. HAVE NOTS = You.
I don't see why they don't just disable the steering wheel. I mean they're going to have FSD in the "near future", right? Just think of all the test miles they can get out of that.
Based in reality? Past performance? Elon said in 2016 by the end of 2017 coast to coast fsd without human intervention would happen. Good for him making so much money and building a company.
Are there any more examples/reviews/tests of radar-less AP coming out? (Especially during rainy weather) Maybe we'll start to see some improvements. All I know of is the infamous two reddit text posts and Kevin Smith's youtube account.

Plenty of people have picked up new M3 & MY in the last few weeks with TeslaVision, but they're mostly Tesla newbies so they don't really know how it could or should be working. I'm sure we'll continue to see more reports in the coming weeks.

Kind of stupid question: How do you know if a Model3 has front radar or not, when looking at it? Is there's zero physical difference, including exactly the same windshield, after which VIN it started, then? And finally, it doesn't sound like it's a better system than the radar, does it? Just curious. Thank you.
It is my understanding that its any vehicle built on or after April 27th 2021. No at the moment in its current state it is not better.

I guess to check for a radar physically, you need to take the front bumper off to visualize it.
