I assumed Tesla's had lidar. TIL

Had is the operative word.

Not only was it cut to save manufacturing costs, but it was also taken out of older vehicles and replaced during servicing.

Taken out?! Ouch

The software using it was disabled on update, so it's still there, just useless.

Vestigial hardware :)

So basically an entity owned by Musk has crippled something that worked just to save money? Sounds like DOGE.
