That's not what the article you linked says at all. Some HW4 vehicles that are shipping now are shipping without Radar (likely due to supply chain or cost issues). But HW4 was designed with a Radar in mind, it's present in the code, registered with the FCC and there are physical connectors for it on the HW4 compute module. You can see photos of the interior of the Radar in the thread from Green that I linked earlier or in this article (https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-hardware-4-hd-radar-first-lo...)

The fact that some early HW4 units will ship with the updated camera suite but not the Radar only further adds to my point that some users are going to be left with inferior sensing systems despite having paid the same $10k for FSD as everyone else. The whole "radar will be used to train and improve the vision" argument is just nonsense made up by Elon & Tesla fans. A properly functioning radar camera sensor fusion system will be superior in every way to a camera only solution. And there will be 0 Tesla's that actually achieve "full self driving" (ie. you going to sleep in the back-seat and waking up at your destination) until Tesla adds things like a cleaning system to their existing camera solution for example. The hardware is simply inadequate.
