little late, but just to jump in on the radar thing.. sure after buying my first model Y I had some weird phantom brakes but I could tap the accelerator and teach the car that’s a no. After a few months of driving it knew areas where it shouldn’t do that and completely ignored bridges and overpasses.
Now that I have a car that is vision only. There is no rhyme or reason to its constant and sudden phantom brakes. I can touch the accelerator all day, but it’s never in the same spot twice, and it’s never learning anything.
It’s just funny how well my other car worked on winding roads, and in foggy conditions on what features of FSD were available. But my newer car can’t go straight down the road in perfect conditions without slamming on the brakes.
If radar truly was the worse idea ever I highly doubt other manufacturers wouldn’t be using it, and successfully… my ram 1500, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler 300, and Ford F-350 all have/had radar with adaptive cruise and never once have I had an issue with any of them phantom breaking.. granted only the Jeep has active lane keep, but even it doesn’t have that issue..
Whatever the true reason is for removing radar was a poor excuse, and really should be reversed. If it’s a money thing I would GLADLY pay to retrofit the radar into my current model y and upcoming model x.
