That's your opinion, but Tesla does not "need" to add anything from the point of view of actual Tesla customers!

Tesla cars are selling faster than they can make them and adding a Radar will slow down the manufacturing, not make it faster.

Tesla is currently being sued by actual customers based on this exact issue. They've promised FSD, and can't deliver it - especially without lidar.

Tesla told the FCC that it plans to market a new radar starting next month.

If this is true, why are they reportedly cutting production and offering incentives? If they were booked solid, no incentives would be needed.
