As you found out, any pings during backing up is part of Park Assist, so would not be present if you don't have USS.N00b question, but do the M3s with USS have backup warning? I have the 2023 M3P and have yet to be warned of any car/person approaching from the rear/side. My Subaru Ascent would warn of ANYTHING that was in visual view of the camera when backing up. So far in the first ownership of the M3P it has never once warned of a car/person.
I wasn't sure if this was by design, or a limitation of the lack of USS.
Edit: Looks like Tesla considers backup warnings are part of park assist. I guess this answers my question

Note however, even in cars with USS, all it does is ping and chime (presuming the object is detected by the USS, which it might not be, see the limitations in manual). It is not the same as other cars which have rear cross traffic alert, which would warn of vehicles or people approaching from the rear sides.
