Yes, 10 years after the initial announcement, Tesla has just now got around to ordering some LIDARs for capturing ground-truth training data. They then went out of their way to get the one LIDAR made to look palatable to end customers instead of the superior industrial ones everyone puts 8 of on their recording cars.

Not very credible.

What's the source that they haven't ordered from Luminar previously? They have definitely used Lidar test rigs for years.

See sibling comment, this wouldn't be a first time occurance.
