Tesla said:
Today, we are taking the next step in Tesla Vision by removing ultrasonic sensors (USS) from Model 3 and Model Y. We will continue this rollout with Model 3 and Model Y, globally, over the next few months, followed by Model S and Model X in 2023.
...
For a short period of time during this transition, Tesla Vision vehicles that are not equipped with USS will be delivered with some features temporarily limited or inactive, including:
Park Assist: alerts you of surrounding objects when the vehicle is traveling <5 mph.
Autopark: automatically maneuvers into parallel or perpendicular parking spaces.
Summon: manually moves your vehicle forward or in reverse via the Tesla app.
Smart Summon: navigates your vehicle to your location or location of your choice via the Tesla app.
In the near future, once these features achieve performance parity to today’s vehicles, they will be restored via a series of over-the-air software updates.
Do they even have this working in beta yet? ...

Seems a bit silly to remove one source of data in the hopes that at some point you can make the software function as well without it... Unless they have already done lots of testing on the software and are just waiting on external (i.e. governmental) certification?
Redundancy and sensor data fusion is useful, I'd rather that instead of trying to achieve parity with fewer sensors they use their software changes to improve the performance and reliability with the existing sensors.
