    Can get the P to come up for Auto Parking Perpendicularly

    I've tried to use the Auto Park feature but I never get the P on my dash that shows my car is ready to park itself. I've driven super slow past the cars and driven close to them, but it never shows up. Any suggestions?

    Safest parking in Waikiki

    I don't mind weaving my way around the bears in Alaska, but parking in Wakiki gives me the creeps because I don't want door dings on my Model S. Any suggestions for the widest and or safest parking spots in Waikiki? Perhaps an EV charging spot would be safest because of EVs parked next you you...

    Soon to be new owner ?: Experiences with leaving car unattended

    Hi Everyone! I live in a happy little community but I have a little concern with places I travel. I spend a lot of time in parking lots of malls and big cities. Are there any best practices for leaving the car unattended for hours at a time in parking lots or am I over thinking it and not...

    Leaving X overnight at remote trailheads?

    In my 30 years of parking cars at trailheads, I've only had one bad experience (a smash and grab break-in). Considering a short overnight trip (2 nights) where I would leave my X at a fairly busy (dozens of cars come and go each day), but remote (not one right off a highway) trailhead in the...

    Can the Model X handle this parking garage?

    Wondering if the FD sensors can handle this parking spot. Unfortunately, every spot in our parking garage has a concrete beam on either the left or right side of the parking space. The beam is fairly low ... less than 7 feet.

    Stopping in Garage

    Summon allows for setting the stopping distance from the front wall to the front of the car. Why isn't there such a thing for when I drive the car into the garage. I would like the car to stop at 15" from the wall every time I pull into the garage. As it is now I need to creep up to the limit...

    Car width in Sydney?

    I'm curious if any Model S owners in Sydney find the car's width large enough to avoid driving in certain areas or car parks? I'm considering a Model X which is even wider again and worried that car parks are going to make taking it out a pretty frustrating (or potentially paint scraping ...)...

    Selfie Stick To the Rescue!! "Reaching" a Solution

    Hi All, I encountered my very first '1st World Problem' as a new Tesla Roadster driver this week. My workplace parking garage has a badge scan requirement for entrance. In a "normal" vehicle, this is not a big deal, but in a Roadster...it is another story. I had to maneuver extremely slowly...

    Recht achteruit parkeren

    Ik vond altijd dat ik heel goed kon parkeren. Maar met mijn Model S kom ik er steeds achter dat ik bij achteruit parkeren vaak scheef sta. Fileparkeren gaat perfect, beter zelfs dan autopark. Maar zelfs bij een Supercharger stap ik vaak uit met een afwijking van 5 tot 10 graden. Zie dat ook...

    Autopark Demo

    I could not get the Autopark feature to recognize a parallel parking spot without putting a trash bin on the curb. My guess is that it didn't recognize the 7" curb. Once I put the trash bin on the curb it would recognize it. I tried this many, many times over the span of an hour with and...

    Parking sensor going haywire - anybody else have the same problem?

    I've been having front parking sensors going off at slow speeds when there are no objects nearby. It seems to happen when its hot (CA hot - 90f or so) after being parked. It's kind of embarrassing when guests are in the vehicle. A visit to SC updated the latest firmware, but the problem...
