I wonder why Tesla is removing the radar? I couldn't imagine it costs that much, and if the updated cars start crashing, this decision may be called into question in a public way.

I think tesla might want to publicly clarify things.

Speculation is that radar shortage is why they have 10k cars on hold - https://insideevs.com/news/508369/tesla-10k-cars-containment...

It would be 30-40M a year in savings and more as unit volume increases. Radar had been causing issues with false positive. On reddit somebody who works with radar explained the problem.

Volvo uses both and I trust them more with safety.
