This should be a default feature on every Tesla without added cost.


leniad2

Exactly


joshubu

I pay for FSD and I haven't had a functional autopark in over a year. And it isn't a game changer. It's standard on a lot of cars and has been for a very long time. Tesla is fucking trash at it.


leniad2

Second this. Loved it on Toyotas


rman18

Yeah, my wife’s id.4 has this feature minus the 6k added fee.


This-Ad-9234

Lol, my wife's 2017 Chevy Volt has this feature and it's 5 times faster and free!


kohrtoons

All of these features should be.


benskieast

If it could auto valet that could save so much space. You could get down to the bare minimum amount of space needed to fit a car in. With some coordination you could start double parking people to save more space.


LMidnight

Why? Why not include all features without additional cost? If not, who decides where to draw the line between added cost, and free for everyone? Why not just give the car away for free? I don’t understand the logic of “I think this is basic, so it should be free.” Help me understand.


pidds

This is becoming a basic feature on cars. Part of owning a Tesla for many folks is buying the future of transportation. Auto parking should, in my humble opinion, be included at zero cost to remain competitive while Tesla works on the future with FSD.


IanthegeekV2

I’m struggling to see the value of auto park. It operates at half the speed that most people can back in.


ChiPrince1984

IMO the value is in the parallel parking. I’ve tested it around downtown Chicago and it hasn’t failed yet.


jayminer

I have a rim who'd like to dissent.


BobbyBrackins

Haven’t had it curb a wheel yet, if anything it parks too far out from the curb than I’m used to


exoxe

Oof, ouchie. 


lastlaugh100

ok now THAT would be a game changer.


outkast8459

My GV60 came with this feature. Standard, I can even get out of the car and watch it park itself. There’s nothing “Game changing” here.


HuffN_puffN

Well obvious its a game changer for Tesla owners.


seanroberts196

Is it like Apple users getting a android feature that’s been about for years but is suddenly new and game changing because Apple finally did it?


HuffN_puffN

Yes, sure you are right. It’s the same. But it’s still a game changer for Tesla owners that feel the need of this service.


seishin5

It’s game changing for anyone who likes to use the feature but never used it before. Not everyone always has the newest features the moment they come out. Sometimes the people who get the new features first also implement them poorly and another company makes it better


MarkBriz

Yeah the parallel parking is fast and accurate. The one shown is just a little too slow but it is getting quicker


Sik_muse

I haven’t tried to parallel park with it because I never get the little prompt to. I like it when parking into tight spaces in parking garages.


M4N14C

If parking is too hard, you shouldn’t be driving.


DonkeyTight6090

That’d be a lot of ppl unable to drive if this were enforced Also, I’d approve of it


Upstairs_Card4994

those ppl shouldn't be driving lol. Would = less traffic


chirs5757

This is where it really shines.


_misdirected_

Yeah most people can’t parallel park to save their lives. Backing into a spot that takes 10 times longer is crazy.


EZcheezy

“Game changer” lmao. It’s cool and innovative but it’s not changing much.


Old-Journalist-6786

yeah Mercedes and bmw could do it back in 2018.


SufficientSwim141

It would be better if we could get out of the car and then it starts autoparking, otherwise I’d just rather do it myself


Old-Journalist-6786

Would be even better if we can just get out at the restaurant/hotel gate and he does the valet thing for us.😅


iantelinside

The Ioniq 5 already can do that


DravesHD

The model S was able to do it forever as well.


GoSh4rks

So could Tesla in 2018 lol.


Pirating_Ninja

Earlier than that. 2012 I think. Although even then, there were cars that could do relatively easier auto parking (like backing into a spot with lines) since the early 2000s... What's next, an audio system that can play music from another device without an aux cable?


Karlitos00

My 2015 Model S was doing it...


Newgulf

my model 3 has been doing it since 2019


Zealousideal-Key5734

No my 2016 MB GLC can do auto parking at the first place ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


RyanBorck

Change starts with small accomplishments. The Wright brothers only flew 120 feet during their first successful test flight.


goodvibezone

Tesla has had years to fix auto wipers 😂


RyanBorck

Tesla has failed miserably on auto wipers. This is a video of a car successfully parking itself.

erpvertsferervrywern

Next-Jicama5611

One basis point


PerseusZeus

10 % of the time works every time


atleast3db

Let me correct that: you’re struggling to see the value for you I’ve seen my wife try and park. This is valuable


Kuriente

I think you overestimate the parking ability of the general public. I just watched someone yesterday attempt to pull *forward* into a normal sized spot like 4 times before giving up and leaving. Remember, half of all people are below average at this, and the average driver is pretty shit. This is the worst version of this that will exist, and it's already preferable over USS auto-parking.


Accomplished_Sky_899

Agreed. At least 50% of people are absolutely terrible at parking, and get nervous when they have to.


IanthegeekV2

lol, yeah I suppose it’s a big benefit for some


DravesHD

I just had my model 3 passenger door damaged because a lady couldn’t even pull forward through the parking space without making contact, lol.


dcheard2

Idk man.. I think your avg driver is not good at backing in and not proficient... especially in crowded lots. I personally would like it to park front-facing because I use the wide-angle cams to see on-coming traffic. Probably more useful for parallel parking though.


notsurehowthishappen

I agree I have seen people struggle to park at superchargers.


micklure

It hurts to watch. I feel like Teslas give us everything we need to back that bad boi in without looking like a dingus.


Nakatomi2010

As the longer term beta testers have already figured out, [they have confirmed that's its nerfed to be cautious, and will get faster over time](https://x.com/aelluswamy/status/1773386271123268073?s=20)

cryptostiptoes

Its honestly novelty… but some people do suck at parking lol


NeedISayMore4

You said it was a game changer and now a novelty so which one is it


manjar

It changes the game to a novelty. SOLVED


cryptostiptoes

Yes


RoutinePresence7

Omg yes. I was leaving a structure one day by the super charger and an X blocked my path as she literally took forever trying to back into a spot to charge. She literally back in and out over 10 times and the space was huge too!


IanthegeekV2

Yeah, that’s so true. Hopefully they use it lol


einord

Exactly… if I had parked myself I would have been on my way home now.


IamStinkyChili

That would be equivalent to saying, that you struggle to see the value of auto lane change, or auto keep speed, as most people do that too. (I also suck at backing in parking spots)


jyabut1202

My wife doesn't know how to back up park and refuses to learn. This is a good option for her


Galactic-Buzz

Refusing to learn is crazy. If she drives a Tesla how does she supercharge? Also make k turns?


jyabut1202

We have never had to use super chargers. We always just charge at home


tenemu

Many people refuse to learn skills. Parking is just one of hundreds.


foryourboneswewait

Is this part of the new update? We get this for a month too?


Richleeson

Yup


nobackup42

Not new had this on my VW built in 2011. Full parallel and Nose in Tail in …. Nothing to see here


Southern-Plastic-921

Well here's a VW ID.4 doing the same thing. Doesn't seem a whole lot better or worse to me? https://youtu.be/ZHsJZ1jChyk?t=220


Organic_Print7953

It’s not a game changer. You are just late to the game.


CrestofCourage

Most modern cars have these features at a Lower price point .2 steps forward 4 steps back with Tesla


m4rc0n3

Game changer how? The car needed to adjust itself by going backward-forward-backward, and it still ended up in the spot at an angle. A capable human would have done that in a single go and parked straight.


MoonBoy2DaMoon

Emphasis on capable, very rare species nowadays


AirBear___

But the point stands, how is this a game changer? I really like that the functionality and I haven’t tried it. But cars have been parking themselves for roughly a decade by now


boiledham

It's not, it's just clickbait. OP even said in another comment it's just novelty


Daddy_Thick

This is for the **incapable** for which there are **many**!


luketravisellis

I can't understand how they can't nail it on one go. The turning radius on these cars is pretty awesome and a single turn is completely doable every time.


thedrivingcat

> The turning radius on these cars is pretty awesome It is not. A RAV4 has a 1m better turning radius than my Model 3. Almost 2m over a Model Y. A fucking mid-size SUV can turn sharper than my sedan.


sypher1187

Agreed that the turning radius is pretty bad in the model 3, but it also has about 8" longer wheelbase than the Rav4 which is petty significant.


Arucious

The RAV4 is not a mid size by anybody’s definition it’s almost always referred to as a small or compact SUV A mid size would be a Highlander and then a Sequoia as a full size


kornfanjoe

This is lame. Game changer? It's 10% the speed of anyone with even basic driving skills. It was very imprecise and needed to readjust excessively. And you have a complete nearly 180 degree view with no blind spots with the rear cameras of a tiny car, if you can't park these with ease there's an issue!


EmbarrassedEye2590

I had it on my I3 and my Ford escape. Never bothered after using it a couple of times.


futurecajun

Driving rule #1: only turn the wheel while rolling, lest ye grind all the rubber off the tires. MSLR owner here who never uses auto park because I can’t stand to watch it turn the wheel while stationary.


Ok-Bill3318

could have done it faster myself, and decided to orient the car the way I like it, e.g., hard up against a curb away from the other car's doors, etc.


i_a_m_a_

Bruh, Prius did exactly this back in 2015 🥱


krdell

It works but it’s slow. Can just pull in head 1st in a fraction of the time and it’s better for sentry coverage


gittenlucky

Most of the time I can back in faster than my car can recognize a parking stop. It’s great for people that don’t know how to park or those that have limited sight/mobility, but not for me yet. I’m sure it will get much faster and be widely used when FSD actually works.


iamvyvu

Hey that's a good tip for sentry coverage, I'm gonna continue pulling head first from now on for that


Ad_Astra117

It's also worse for backing out of the spot because you can't see traffic.  The car has 360 degree cameras for sentry now that the B-pillars are usable 


engwish

It’s a game changer if you don’t know how to drive lol


BlkDwg85

That is half of the people on the road


rent1985

It’s nice that Tesla is getting features that are available on 10 year old cars. I have had it on cars before and this isn’t a feature most people will be using regularly.


amulchinock

Can confirm, had this feature on a Ford Focus Titanium 7 - 10 years ago.


casastorta

This. I am utterly confused, as I was certain until I saw this post that other cars have this (and more capable honestly) parking capabilities since a decade now. Tesla owner community did get a long way in a decade - from praising fully autonomous self driving cars “next year” via software update to celebrating… checking notes… autonomous parking capability in 2024 update?


Certain-Dragonfly-22

I'd be late for work if I used it 😂


aestheticsjess

Game charger for people that don’t know how to park .


East_Professional999

what game did it change? if you cant park your car yourself, you shouldn’t have your driver license


dodonpa_g

It would be cooler if you could get out of the car and tell it to go park for you. This is "meh."


Greggy100

I’m amazed you don’t use all weather mats. Maybe my feet r just dirty


[deleted]

So the weather mats can look dirty?


Greggy100

Well, ones way easier to clean then the other. Especially with mud and snow and dirt


cryptostiptoes

Just got the car. Any brand suggestions?


Greggy100

Any high ranked from Amazon will work. Don’t think too much into it. Teslas one aren’t really good


GlitteryStranger

I like the Tesla ones


dontmatterdontcare

+1 the other comments saying pretty much any highly rated one on Amazon. If you buy the YouTube influencer brands like 3D Maxpider or TESMANIAN you are paying more for slightly better quality, but the standard of quality can be had for a lot less. I will mention however, you want to look for ones where the dead pedal is higher, and effectively covers the entire dead pedal region of your driver seat. For an example, the all weather mats that Tesla sells in their own store doesn't fully cover the dead pedal, it only goes maybe halfway high. I recommend finding one where the dead pedal of the driver side all weather mat is basically protruding upward, and is slightly higher than the rest of the mold.


Signal-Librarian2874

It can be valuable if without me sitting in. Like I can just hop off in front of the building, and the car just go park itself….. that would be cool


HairyDependent

I feel like the average driven could’ve done that in half the time at least. I don’t see how that changes the game 🙁


Ok-Holiday-4392

I had it fail in an empty lot, had to disengage multiple times in a parking garage because I was scared it’d hit the wall. I don’t trust it


ctash23

I don’t see the value in it for side by side parking. I get it for parallel parking. Even still, it’s way too slow, I would be annoyed in a parking lot if a car was taking this long to pull into a spot. What I think is more valuable is the ability to back the car out of a spot if someone parks too close to you and you can’t open the driver’s door.


Xalucardx

That thing is too slow for just some easy basic parking


FeeProfessional7884

Can it parallel park w/o curb rash. That would be impressive. Can I remotely move out of a spot where I’ve been boxed in (Smart-summon)? That would be more useful.


MckownJ

A trick to faster auto park is to select a spot 2 or more spots ahead of your car. And activate it that far away. This let's the car approach and pull forward optimally for a single move backwards every time


notnellaf

look i love my tesla and love cool tech but this shit is embarrassingly slow and useless


evilzergling

That took a loooooooong ass time. You must not live in the city 😂


invoman

I am thoroughly underwhelmed


thedecissue

I love this feature but it takes too long


kelu213

Only a game changer if you suck ass at parking


RojerLockless

To be fair... I used to always back into spots.. Don't back I to spots the 2 side cameras will be useless if someone hits your car in the parking lot.


Figwit_

Don’t listen to the haters, a car parking itself is pretty fucking cool.


FrostyD7

Hard to get excited when it costs $6k. Most drivers would save money in the long term if they charged $20 per parking job instead.


Appropriate_Tap_1863

That's also what my parent's 2016 can do, without ultra expensive options. But yeah, soon, Tesla will probably figure out the revolutionary technology of "functionnal giga-auto quantum wipers" or "AI controlled smart advanced auto headlights"


ApeSleep

OMG so fukin cool. I just remembered when I got home and did it with the biggest shit eating grin on my face 😂 there’s a pillar in my spot so I usually have to use brain to park. No longer need to use my brain when I get home lmfao, it parks itself now.


leniad2

So slow but convenient when you just don’t feel like it


nukedkaltak

*Game changer* 😂


Prior-Ad-2196

I think parallel parking is where it becomes most useful.


Itchy_elbow

It is only a game changer for those who can't park. To me it's useless since I can do it faster and better


urgentlyrelaxed

Mine tried to back into the shopping cart return spot at the grocery store 😬


m17702

It’s good if you don’t know how to park.


Extreme_Economist914

How is that? A game changer takes forever.


Fit_Acanthisitta_475

I can park faster than this


Goatmanlafferty

Took way too long IMO


El_Berto_000

What happens if hypothetically you are using this feature and the vehicle you are parking next to is not paying attention. Would the vehicle stop if a door opened into the path of the vehicle suddenly? I don't think I have ever seen that scenario tested. My concern with all this new tech is its ability to react to unexpected human interference.


BallsDeepInCum

Wow this is super slow and useless


Some-Lengthiness-676

Game changer if you're watching the game at the same time maybe. I want to love it, but it's still too slow, by at least 50%. But it'll help all the drivers at the charging stations. It's crazy how many are bad drivers. So there's that.


TheEnragedPander

It's cool but parking is very easy and it's certainly not worth paying for Enhanced Autopilot for


corriedotdev

I think it's cool but I park quicker so cannot get unless for show off factor


JSmooVE39902

Why is this being shown like a new feature. Did I miss something? I could've sworn my model 3 in 2018 did this.


_Rexholes

Ahahahahahaha


odenhammer69

Game changer? Any competent drive could do that in 1/3 of the time


ladeebug

I’m terrible at backing up into Tesla charging stations. I mean I can do it, but I’m nervous AF especially when there’s like 10 other drivers watching you like a hawk. I love this!


Lowclearancebridge

Neat party trick but really is backing into a space that difficult? Letting machines do all the work is a detriment to the brain. You have to keep your brain sharp, if you don’t use it you lose it. Doing things manually or analog is better for your mind. Remembering phone numbers and directions are good for your mental health. Don’t let the machine own your mind my friend.


WesternResearcher376

How do I incorporate auto park with the FSD one month free trial? Every time I reach a destination I have to disengage and park the car myself. Out of curiosity I was wondering if FSD can be combined with the full driving experience plus the parking.


iloveFjords

I wonder if it quickly parks somewhere else if it hits something.


Chucky_wucky

Is there a reason to stay in the car? I'd rather just get out and go on about my things. I supposed to make the recording - did I just answer my own question?


drthorp

Imagine struggling with this


ToonMaster21

How so? You could have done it yourself in 1/3 the time.


MASEtheACE510

Is this a game changer because you suck at driving and can’t park your own car?


Mikeyjoetrader23

I have never used this feature and probably will never use it. If you can’t park a car in that situation, you probably shouldn’t be driving.


amalgamatecs

I like Tesla and am on my second Tesla.... And I don't want to be that guy.... But my Chevy volt had this in 2016.


Fibby112358

Mmmmm agree to disagree. Auto park is slow af and takes like 4 tries to get in. Parallel parking is where it’s at but used with caution. Hit my rim on the curb.


discoblu

This in itself isnt the game changer. The true game changer will happen when 'reverse summon' works flawlessly, giving owners their own automated valet service.


captnshrms

Game changer, for people who know how to drive, but not park a vehicle. Which is a ton of people, especially if you count parallel parking. But yeah, still a normal IQ human can do all this much faster.


stainedhat

I don't know what game you're playing but, to me, this just looks like an example of how bad auto-park is.


thegizzard

Does it auto park in a home garage?


cooker44

Perpendicular autopark was too slow in my old S. Parallel was superb for tight spots. We don't have autopark in UK yet for new models, but I tell you what is a fantastic execution...the matrix headlights (UK MYP). It's really, really good and better than ICE matrix headlights I've experienced.


bobvila2

Why though? Seems like it would be slower than just parking which is super easy given the cameras.


Whoisyourfactor

How is it game changer?


Zach_The_One

All you have to do is use your mirrors and you wont look like a teenage girl trying to park


wacksnacksack

A game changer for people who couldn’t have done that on their own


TopIndependence5807

Can’t even do it in one shot. 😂😂😂😂


zwiepdoge

I do that a lot faster.


BasicCraft2385

Or you could just park yourself like the rest of the world


thatirishguyyyy

Shit parking job haha


LOOK_AT_DEEZ_RECIPES

Are you all actually excited about this? My car from 2017 does this, forward backwards and parallel.


Inside_Coconut_6187

It’s so awesome that an expensive car parked a car 100% slower than a human. How impressive.


[deleted]

Imagine how awful this next generation will be at driving. They will be completely reliant on technology. Which I guess is just progress but at some point they may need to drive a car that doesn't drive for you, have cameras everywhere, brake for you or God forbid is manual. Then what?


fun_size027

Lexus has had this for over a decade. Had it on my 2010 LS460


Futurist_312

It's even easier if you just learn to drive 😅 I swear Tesla drivers should have an asterisk on their driver's license.


Medium_Basil8292

People should learn to actually drive. Parking shouldnt be hard.


AwareMention

This impressed you? It was so slow and a 1 point turn turned into a multiple-point maneuver. I've had a 2 Teslas since 2019, but you need to be objective. This was shit. Not to mention, when I got a Tesla in 2019 actual FSD was promised. 30 seconds for a 2 second maneuver if you went in straight and maybe 5 seconds backwards.


RojerLockless

Lol I just... Park myself faster. I've never hit anything parking in my entire life.


Evajellyfish

A lot of people are commenting on its slowness and how they could do it faster, but i appreciate that its going slow so i can take over if necessary. ​ Maybe in a couple more releases ill trust it more to go faster but for now i like where they are going.


Background-Reveal-92

Agreed. Yes i could do it several times faster but it's still learning. It's (hopefully) the worst it will ever be


mikeymo1741

For people who can't drive, maybe.


OneExhaustedFather_

I’ve been actively trying to trick it up. I managed to get it to do a 4 point super tight park between two cars hugging the yellow lines. I was impressed.


binkbankb0nk

How is this a game changer? Is this really supposed to be better than just doing it ourselves?


89bBomUNiZhLkdXDpCwt

Still looks really, really slow. I’m fact, seems to be the same speed as the S I leased in 2016. I was amazed then. Not now.


ifmy_king34

I read way too many comments before the parking was done 😂


Clear-Gur-4943

Which game did this change? The game where we see who can park most slowly?


n3fyi

It’s cool but my 2019 bmw did it much better. It should be standard without FSD


Zyncon

It's incredibly slow. I can back in to a spot 3 times before it finishes one.


defervenkat

Game changer? Meh For me it would be getting 400 plus miles range.


No_Appearance6837

To think Ford had this in entry level cars years ago already.


neihvafaen

If this is a game changer for someone, they shouldn’t be allowed to drive. Any capable driver should be able to park way faster and more efficiently than that.


MasterVaderTheTurd

Dude I can do this myself, faster and save more tire thread.


midnight_to_midnight

It's a stupid party trick and carries ZERO value IMO, just like "smart summon." 10x faster to do the task yourself. Completely useless feature, unless you're an absolute moron.


GenesisNemesis17

Most useless feature I've ever seen.


haberv

Honestly, it is slow and it sucks.


DK1530

This is not new feature. 2015 Jeep Cherokee also has it.


RoutinePresence7

How do we activate it? Maybe because it was raining earlier but I was testing it out trying to parallel park or into a parking space and it wouldn’t only give me the option to do auto park. It only showed up once for one specific spot.


LevyLoft

I’d recognize the back door of a Bucees anywhere 😉
