I think Musk has no choice but to ditch Lidar. He has promised to provide full self driving on cars already on the road, and retrofitting all of those cars with Lidar is incredibly expensive.

Bologna. He had/has a choice, he chose snakeoil salesman. Tesla could have focused on affordable (or luxury) electric vehicles. The choice to add self-driving was all Musk.

I continue to be surprised he hasn't been taken to court yet for selling a $6K package that isn't anything but an empty promise.

Plus LIDARs aren't aesthetically pleasing in their current incarnations.
