Didn't they used to talk about how the Tesla radar could actually see the reflections of the car ahead of the one just in front of you? i.e. the radar reflection bouncing underneath the car just in front of you?

This is what doesn't add up to me. Either a lot of that previous wonder-talk was actually a lie, or there's something else going on here.

Tesla dropped radar and ultrasonic due to supply shortages. Nothing to do with their AI being smart.

Many first-hand reports on Tesla fanboy forums on how no-radar and no-ultrasonic autopilot is far worse than with the sensors.
