Consumer Description

Bought 2023 Tesla Model Y on 29-Dec-2022. Noticed that when I am backing up the car, even when there is another car right behind, or any pedestrian crossing there was no warning. At first I thought some settings is turned off. Later, when I was changing lanes in freeway, no lane departure alert. Also no blind spot chime came on even though that option was turned on in settings. Almost I was about to crash into another car which was in my blind spot. I started googling and learnt that Tesla has removed ultrasonic sensors from Oct2022 onwards and they are working on Tesla Vision which is a camera based system. But Tesla vision is not ready as of 08-Mar-2023 when I am writing this. How is the 2023 Model Y manufactured without ultrasonic sensors and no Tesla vision passed basic safety test? I feel threatened every moment I drive the car without these basic safety features like rear object detection while backing up, lane departure alert, curb sensor alert, blind spot warning. I feel like I am driving a 2000 model old car which doesn't have any of these features. How does NHTSA deem Tesla cars manufactured after Oct22 safe on roads? I will be at financial burden and stress and risk of death without these basic features in a 70k+ car. Why is Tesla even allowed to make such low standard cars without any of the basic safety features? Attached screenshots of my chat with Tesla service also attaching the link Tesla support gave me as ref - https://www.tesla.com/en_eu/support/transitioning-tesla-vision Please investigate this issue and stop Tesla from making and selling unsafe cars for huge price and making profits but doesn't have the basic ethics to care about customer safety. Thanks
