Nope. There was no moment where I said, "this model 3 is so cool because it has radar" I swear i've seen posts where they said the features that are limited will have those limits removed incrementally. If it makes you angry you can cancel your order...I'd rather be out $100 than $50k

I surely hope you’re right! At this point I’m taking the car either way, but still disappointing. The announcement reads to me as they are not confident enough in the vision yet, and basically need us new buyers to live test it. Makes me wonder by how much AP-related incidents will increase on Vision only systems (comparatively) until they figure it out.
I emailed my delivery center with a bit of gripe and basically said if there’s a car with radar there among the lot, to assign that one to me. Idk I’m definitely being salty but this situation is highly disappointing to me.
Hopefully you saw my white M3LR with FSD! I ordered on April 18th and ill be picking up in Tysons Corner. When did you order?Just drove around the Tysons, VA SC and there was a truckload of Y's unloading, saw some others as well. Unfortunately no red long range Model 3's with black interior

I doubt they would release it to the public if they are not confident in the technology. That would just hurt their image more if it resulted in more incidents. Having tens of thousands of us use it will give them more data though so that will just make the technology even better.
From my understanding they are disabling the radar in all Teslas, so it doesn't really matter if yours has one or not.
Definitely agree with this. The wording and timeline perhaps is pending government assessment and evaluations? Though Elon is usually bullish on his products and future concepts, but I don't think he would release products to people if it is not safe.
enough people have hit parked cars using the radar, I will try another option. But like I said before, I drive, so the autopilot stuff to me isn't of importance.

I’ll drive by tomorrow and let you know what I see.
I'm definitely disappointed in the removal of radar. I think it's good to have a backup method in case the first is rendered unusable. It may not be used almost all of the time, but it's good to have for certain situations like topping a hill and being blinded by sunlight on the horizon (I would expect the cameras to be blinded by that as well). However, I'm not getting FSD, and I'm still very iffy about relying on autopilot fully, so it doesn't affect me tooo much.
they will be happy to take your check on delivery.
I paid in advance by ACH, no problems at all, in fact I think you get to leave the dealership early and easily by having this done in advance. I also sent them my insurance info early in the day, license plate in rear on the car when I arrived.
If the Tesla Vision and downgrade for a short period of time is unacceptable to you, then refuse the car and get back in the queue.

I have no problem with long term vision of vision-only, but delivering a car with reduced capabilities (and getting alerted of this 2 months after order) really grinds my gears.
In my mind, if it worked at parity with or without radar, there wouldn’t be limitations upon delivery
I’ve been driving my current car sans radar all this time, I’m cool without it.
I just want my damn Tesla.
I just want my damn Tesla.
I hope your order matches mine and you reject the car due to the temporary limitations.
As the guy above said, I just want my damn Tesla.
This is my date as well. I'm picking up from Buena Park eventually.

Where are you picking up? We ordered 3/31 picking up in Jacksonville…My wife and I ordered on March 27. Received text yesterday to set up delivery. No go last 12 hours.
SA from Buena Park just told me the model 3s and most other orders are being received 1st two weeks of June.
April 23. I couldn't get down the side of the building with the very narrow lane, they had some cars parked down it but someone was blocking it. They do so much service volume there it's hard to say what those were.
