Tesla tried to do it all at once instead of perfecting the electric tech first and then incrementally adding on advances.

Tesla tried to do it all at once instead of perfecting the electric tech first and then incrementally adding on advances. They also made change for change’s sake. There’s absolutely no reason mechanical door locks could not have been engineered to work on this car as the default method of opening and closing the door. It’s killing people.

Also, the fact that they removed Lidar sensors and just base their self driving on cameras is plainly stupid.

There's absolutely a reason to not engineer something you're not required to. It's called capitalism. Tesla cut every corner they could.

Technical debt.
If you promise self driving on all cars, but cars already on the road don't have lidar then no car has lidar.

That's not really the case, as Elon's already admitted that there are at least about a half a million Teslas with old HW3 self driving computers that need to have them upgraded to HW4 for them to have the chance at eventually get the FSD the buyers were promised. That's not even mentioning the upgraded cameras the HW4 vehicles have gotten. The reason for Musk not wanting lidar on Teslas is very simple: cost. He thinks it's too expensive and unnecessary, unlike every single other manufacturer working on the same problem.
