Tesla puts a ‘dummy’ camera in its new vehicles

I would not go as far as to say they are getting worse, but two events in recent history piss me off because it makes for a shit customer experience.

1. Getting rid of features like passenger lumbar and justifying it by saying few people used it. I've also been around long enough to remember they temporarily got rid of side-dimming mirrors on Model 3, only to bring it back months later. Supply chain woes or whatever - it's better to be transparent about this.

2. Getting rid of features like ultrasonics and not having a production-ready hardware or software solution for things like Park Assist. When the move to vision-only Autopilot was made, there were also several limitations to the vision-stack.

i have one of the 2020 3's without side mirror dimming and it is, indeed, frustrating at night.

That's the thing though. It feels like a less luxurious product over time. I need all the gizmos at that price if I'm sacrificing on body work. And the borderline scam of autopilot, don't even get me started.
