- svet_0 5y agoThey removed USB ports for a few days due to the shortage and will retrofit. Owners still preferred to take delivery with missing ports than postpone. Meanwhile other manufacturers completely remove touch screens: https://www.pcmag.com/news/bmw-nixes-touchscreens-amid-chip-shortage https://www.pcmag.com/news/bmw-nixes-touchscreens-amid-chip-...
- somedude895 5y agoYep. A buddy of mine took delivery of a Model 3 mid December and had the USB ports retrofitted two weeks later.
- dekhn 5y agoI ordered a Y in june or july, and then it was reported tat the Y would be shipping wihtout radar, just cameras (I think they saved the radar for the higher end models). I cancelled at that point.
- hulitu 5y agoCool. I wonder what else they are retrofiting later. But Tesla has only happy customers so i may be missing something.
