so why previously I could set up the TACC to distance 1 and now minimum is 2? Radar has been changed to vision.

how this is not reduced functionality?!
The take-home message from those images is that a vision-based system won't work if it can't see and cameras, particularly the rear camera, are much more susceptible to obstruction than an ultrasonic sensor.
The bottom line is that they should have left the sensors in the cars until the software was ready. Selling cars with no sensors and software that "is coming soon" is irresponsible of Tesla. There is no transparency at dealership. I say buyer beware
It is speculation because the engineers don't have a software update to correct the problem taking the sensors away caused. Again, they should have left the sensors in the cars until the software was ready. So irresponsible and unethical of Tesla.
Yep, this was Tesla’s epic fail. Prolly should have waited to delete the sensors until the software was ready. Or give buyers something of value to ameliorate the deficiency, like free EAP.
Bolded part is a running theme. Not unlike the FSD video on Tesla's website, the current 200mph Top Speed advertisement for the Plaid (it's never gone over 178), and well, the rest of the list is too long to type
A very logical argument, and I totally agree. However, what if Telsa didn't have sensors to install? If they had 500,000 orders pending, and only 100,000 sensor packages available, what do they do?
The sensors are difficult to get in large quantities from what I've read, affecting all car brands. Unless this is a lie, which is always possible. But we know the 2022 sales figures are critical to Tesla, so I thought this was the reason they just went ahead without them - to get the cars sold. I have no idea if the statements about software being too complicated with both USS & Vision have any validity.
First, no one at Tesla has actually stated this to my knowledge, so stating it as a reason is simply excusing Tesla's behavior without any reason to do so.
You're firmly entrenched in your viewpoint, so I won't attempt to dissuade you further.
Same thing they did with the missing USB ports, when that hardware wasnt avail, but Tesla still had the USB port holes in place for later retrofit. Could have had the parking sensor harnesses run, and had holes in the bumpers filled with small pop out pieces of plastic that could be punched out/discarded/replaced with sensors once they became available. Or no holes at all, and had the local SC or ranger drill the holes in minutes (ive installed aftermarket sensors in prior cars and small hole cutting bit in drill makes easy work out of it) and did a quick retrofit once they became available.
you (and others) want to have your cake and eat it too.
The problem is that I have my cake, and I'm eating it. Others do not have their cake yet.
Add to that, the CEO has established a pretty good track record of making misleading or downright fraudulent statements previously. So many are going to be skeptical of any excuses that he makes these days.
