Just received my new car without ultrasonic sensors

So apparently you think the burden needs to be on the customer to “catch” when a company is trying to sell you something and deliver something else. Or anything is okay as long as it’s buried in the fine print? Numerous folks have commented that they weren’t informed their car was missing USS nor what the implications were. Some never “accepted” that. Could they all be clueless and missed it, sure. But seems doubtful. I personally test drove a car in Dec (2022 model) and the SA made no mention that the USS weren’t included on the cars anymore even though we spoke at length on how useful it is. Do they know they’re removing a feature that customers value and are hoping they’ll see beyond it, of course.
On the same vein, go to Tesla.com today. You can buy EAP for $6k. There are pretty graphics about parking assist etc. yet nowhere do they disclose that many EAP components are non functional for the “time being”.

Bare minimum they should have a delivery date for the camera based feature and not just leave us hanging.
They say they will provide an equivalent feature to USS using just cameras.
Norway ´23 MYLR owner without USS here - I guess all we can do at this point is trust that Tesla will (at some point) deliver on a comparable or better park assist then what has been with ultrasonic sensors. Of course it is a massive annoyance to not have something even our old cars have, and I can only speculate to the whys and why nots all I want. The energy spent on it only impacts me, not Tesla. In the end I am a beta tester for everything Tesla - something which I must admit has mostly come to my advantage 
We are beta testers for all manufacturers really. Every single car we’re driving is a beta test for a future version of the car. And I’m happy this is the way.Norway ´23 MYLR owner without USS here - I guess all we can do at this point is trust that Tesla will (at some point) deliver on a comparable or better park assist then what has been with ultrasonic sensors.

Although you're likely correct, as consumers, we have to draw the line somewhere. It's fine to be beta testers but that requires transparency and pricing that reflects said beta experience. Packaging something as full fledge production and asking for premium $ is the only thing that I think needs to be corrected in the industry, not just Tesla.
Beta testing is fine but for the price we pay for these cars, features like these are to be expected. In fact the feature was there on previous year models so it’s a regression. They need to provide similar functionality.
Unfortunately Tesla was not transparent at all about the lack of sensors. Yes, you do click something on your phone but for this 67 year old I just thought I was signing something that said I was taking possession of the car. No one in all my calls and texts ever mentioned the lack of sensors including the people in the showroom who just said click here on the phone. Would have been nice for someone along the way to mention that the 23 was an inferior car to the 22. Bad business
I spoke with my sales rep, they say that not even they get any info from the higher ups. This is poor service quality, the frontline staff are the ones who should have all the info available and be able to correctly inform customers.
It is all wrong. I took a test drive in a Y with my wife and we specifically tried out the sensors as they were an important factor for her agreeing to the car.
The sales guy didn't mention a thing about the fact that new ones wouldn't have the sensors.
I found out about the sensors before delivery but it was too late to back out so we've gone for it. Fingers crossed for Chuckle vision.

Exactly same thing happened when I did a test drive in late ‘22. I even had a convo with the SA about how helpful they were. No mention that it’s not on production anymore.
exactly and when I asked for a regional manager name and number so I could speak to them they say they aren't allowed to give out this information. So ridiculous!
"features would be restored as soon as possible via Tesla vision updates"
Just like the fools that ordered FSD in 2015 are still waiting for THAT to happen

It’s never too late. You can cancel as long as you do not accept delivery on the app.

Hi, I have ordered RWD black & white interior with tow.
My order was still on TBD bit since today the Tesla app displays a message sayin they ’re making changes that impacts my order.
They want me to confirm I accept the absence of the uss to proceed with my order.

Did anybody else got this already?

I guess this is in response of numerous posts accusing deceptive practice.
Now a prospective consumer can't claim that they didn't know.
