Back when they started, lidar cost a lot of money. They could not have equipped all cars with it.
The issue came when he promised every car would become a robotaxi. This means he either has to retrofit them all with lidar, or solve it with the current sensor set. It might be ego as well, but adding lidar will also expose them to class action suits.
The promise that contributed to the soaring valuation, now looks like a curse that stops him from changing anything. It feels a bit poetic.
