What other company removes features like this without a solution? Not only that their track record on delivering timely fixes/solutions is very spotty. That's not even the worst thing they are removing. The 2023 Model 3/Y will also remove the left and right paddles, sliding gearshift, and touch turn signals.

These cost cutting moves align with the timeline of a certain person being forced to go through with a very large purchase they were trying to get out of. Not sure what the endgame is with Tesla but I don't see a bright future with the way they are running the business as none of their promises come to fruition and they keep making changes to current products that nobody is asking for or wants and are making their vehicles more complicated to own and operate. A 2023 Model 3 is stripped down of a lot of hardware that was available standard in 2017 models from radar, ultrasonic sensors, passenger power lumbar support, turn signal and drive stalks, Homelink, portable charger, etc. They are getting by on their ability to manufacture higher volumes of EV's over the competition but once that gap narrows I don't see the point in buying a Tesla.
