The Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance being possibly disabled on delivery really bums me out. I've seen enough Whaam Bam Tesla Cam to respect that feature and I want it on my 2 hour daily commute. Dually trucks have come into my lane at least twice a week getting extremely close to my car.

The removal of radar was already happening and has been a primary focus of the engineering team for months now. The speculation is that the refreshed S and X models don't have radar and will need it complete for launch.
A shortage of radar components has accelerated the transition for the 3. I'm okay with that. I'd rather have features disabled and a car sooner than to have to wait for the hardware to be available again.

I'm wary of a vision-only implementation, which isn't what I was buying into when I put down my deposit earlier this month. If they knew the cars shipped at that point wouldn't have the radar sensor they should've changed their marketing material sooner and not 3 full weeks later.
Yeah I probably won't use it much at first until some others have started using it. At this point I'll take them releasing the car with restricted autopilot features vs delaying the car any longer, I can live without autopilot for a few weeks.
Nothing forcing you to use the features though. If you are worried about it being too much of a beta right now, if you feel it will be less of a beta in a year or two, then start using them at that point.
Unless you don't actually need a new car now. Then waiting makes more sense
This is about how the change impacts safety, e.g. automatic emergency braking. I expect everything about this car to be at least as good as a c-segment sedan the day it's delivered, otherwise what's the point?
Sure get a feeling of a new sense of vigor going on...could the flood gates be getting ready to open? However you want to word it, I "feel" like something is happening...or about to...don't want to get too excited, but all the chatter on radar/vision, different SC's showing all their hazard lights on (possible firmware updates), etc. Like a flurry of new info....come on.....
That source code was in there since I ordered my Tesla on April 25th. I wonder though.
To add to this, they may be removing Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance at delivery. Like, what? We're just supposed to take delivery of a nerfed car whose main differentiating/selling features have been rolled back to Beta or outright disabled without even questioning it a bit?

Thinking that beginning Q2 was planned for the Tesla Vision update, but then the current situation of delays happened with people ordering end of March through now still without VINs
And I snoop the Model Y community to see how they're doing and it's opening for them. So many things going on. Look around, beginning about page 322, they're getting some good movement.

Just received a text from SA saying VIN has been assigned. Said it should populate on account by tomorrow. Ordered 3/27 pick-up Charlotte NC

Alright, slight change to my page. It’s no longer asking for my insurance information (can’t enter that without a VIN in NY) so.. something may be happening..
Or nothing and I’ll just stick to refreshing the same page for the next 7-10 weeks/months/ever

What a disappointing day. Crummy news (radar) from Tesla, no VINs popping, site and account continuously down.
Model y's started dropping a few minutes ago now that updates have finished so SOME 3's might drop but it looks like most lots that had any inventory had almost all y's so I wouldn't expect much
