Can the cars sold without the sensors plausibly be retrofitted later by Tesla service? That would be a good gesture and solution but depends on how completely they removed it I suppose.

Based on investigation by GreenTheOnly it's unlikely a retrofit will be possible https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1625905186387505155?...

The cars without sensors could be retrofitted with sensors, but those sensors are no longer manufactured. You could maybe take some from scrapped cars, or design an entirely new but compatible sensor.

Only about 1/30th of that is cash. Still enough, but also, they can just not pay someone to make the sensors, as they're doing.
