Yes, he said 2022.Sure he said 2022?
Can't trust him 100% of course... and as for any software release that involves risks, delays are always around the corner...

Gossips say that all the uss preset is there for all vehicles and that just the uss themselves are missing.... meaning that a retrofit would actually be easier than expected.No chance of a retrofit, you'd need two replacement bumpers for a start, and there's no guarantee the looms are there without removing said bumpers. Also, it would need coding too.
I'm more worried about Tesla only supplying bumpers without mounting points for USS to existing owners now! Maybe I need to stockpile some bumpers

And presumably the while walls are there to tell you that you hit the kerb?

We owners already have this available in the app's Tesla Shop.
...instead of the flexi rods it's two rubber fingers moulded from Elon Musks' right hand ('must fit facing towards the drivers seat').

What about the reports that some kind of new sensor/tech package will be announced in mid-Jan 2023? Could that be some new style sensor package meant to replace USS?
I have a M3 2020 now, with radar/USS, and am close to pulling the trigger on a MYLR or MYP. I'm having a hard time thinking it will be fine with no USS on a $65k car that i plan to keep for many years.
Also curious on if a price cut is coming in Q1 also. My gut says there will not be the mass of people ordering due to the tax rebate, since its a half-baked plan that is way more restrictive than it was 3 years ago.

In the UK summon is so restricted as to be absolutely useless.

Well, the rear of my December Austin MY was off today for a tow hitch install.
The bumper has the markings on the back side for the Ultrasonic sensors - just not drilled.
Also, the harness on the frame appears to have a socket where the USS should connect to with a cap on the connector.

Software is required to make USS work. It could be disabled by a software update. This would negate drilling and hooking up some sensors.
This means that actually only the sensor (USS) is missing and that all cables and preset is there?
My Model Y (got it on 29. Oct 22) in fact doesn't have the USB data in the middle console, only charge and had to install a small hub in the drawer, where I can connect USB Sticks.
Should I see that everything is preset there ... I would even pay to retrofit the USS.
Asked local dealer, he answered to "just wait for Tesla Vision to cover the functionalities and don't waste money on USS retrofitting, assuming that it would be possible".
I'm still convinced that this is possible and assume that Tesla didn't remove the preset for the USS in new cars ... they only remove the USS themselves, which means:
> 100 $ saved for each car
> no drilling on bumbers for each car
> no potential USS failures to be replaced (I had some "mad" USS on my last Volvo front bumber, for example, beeping like crazy when raining ...)
Anyone that has proof of the "preset" for the USS (that would allow retrofitting actually with low effort) ?

According to all tesla configuration, there is nothing special.
Just one extra option to change/apply.
Definitely possible, real question will Tesla do it or thirty service needed.
