How is this anachronic? Here is a clip from Dec 2020 with Musk making the claims about high resolution radar (skip to the last minute):

Tesla has been working on building a high res radar since 2018 and have yet to officially announce anything. Tesla dropped radar in new vehicles in mid-2021.

Musk has been claiming since 2018 that Teslas sold at the time have all the hardware needed to be fully independent driverless taxis. He made this claim very very clearly in conferences and marketing materials. And Teslas sold at the time only had cameras.

That he later may have changed his tune is probably true, as reality does eventually catch up even with someone like him.
