My bad, it was RADAR, not LIDAR, with Musk explicitly saying how it was better because unlike optical systems it wasn't blocked by bad weather so much.
I unfortunately don't have link about supplier dropping them - I do recall it was a bit of a scandal at the time but it quickly got overshadowed with other issues and well, FSD not working right was "business as usual"

Wrong. You’re thinking of tesla dropping mobileye back in like 2014. Nothing to do with ditching radar last year
