Tesla replacing ultrasonic sensors with Tesla Vision
- Thread starter diplomat33
- Start date
I get the move away from USS, but I live in the paris in a driveway surrounded by limestone walls, the only way to park without sensors is to get a family member to help. For a new "luxury" car this is hopeless! It was not made aware that this feature would not be available, otherwise I would not have picked it up! Why hide it? Hopeless...

In the US, when your accept the VIN you are required to click to agree to a disclaimer that your car wouldn't have USS. Are you saying you didn't get that message?
No because i ordered from avaiable stocks. They just have some basic detail, nothing like missing or non-uss
It doesn't work. the area is tiny and too many splatters/droplets falling on it. The best one I encountered is the VW where the camera is behind the emblem and only opens when the reverse is engaged.

Haha.
Perhaps the USS itself had minkmal
Impact on q4 deliveries. But only because I bet most people who took delivery in Dec weren’t aware that it was removed.
Re the “backlog/unlimited demand” assertion…. I wish that was actually true.

I mean, Q4 was still a record-- for both deliveries AND production.
And there's 0 indication that US production wasn't going 100% full bore the whole time- Tesla in the US did offer incentives in December- but they were pretty clearly related to the new tax credit, not the ultrasonic sensors.
China demand certainly appears to have softened- and Tesla just today announced significant price cuts there- but again this has nothing to do with the USS removal it has to do with both widespread massive covid issues, and also BYD offering a roughly comparable car for significantly less money. Unlike in the US, competition actually IS coming in China.

I spoke to one of the Tesla guys and they are getting a lot of "feedback" from customers on the removal of the uss. He said it is a top priority for them to get it sorted.
Have to feel sorry for the employees on the ground really.

Fair. But feel worse for the customers who paid the hard earned money.
Honestly: Tesla MUST get a new CEO this year. And one who isn’t a musk puppet. Not offering round wheel option for s/x upfront, was all musk. Removing USS BEFORE replacing same functionality with vision? All musk.
Just two Poor decisions that were avoidable.
Hi
Just spoke to Tesla Westmont advisor she said update to software for the lack of USS should be less than 2 weeks, "very soon". Hope she is right!

Riiiiiight. Just behind the “2021” Cybertruck and roadster too.
Ask that SA to put that in writing…
well, my first production Model 3 came delivered without wifi. whether it's really 2 weeks or 2 months, it's still short compared to your ownership lifetime of the car. Coming up on 5 years now, and I can't even remember how long I had to wait until I got the features that were supposed to come with the car. Hang in there.
YeH. Funny aspect though is they are very quick to accept your money (even to the point that you been to bring a cashier check to delivery!) but not so quick to deliver features you paid for.
