Usually with new cars you're on a diff software for a few weeks for stability etc. It will come to you eventually thoughSame boat. Wondering when the updates?

I hear you EVRob78. I also learned to drive in cars without sensors, lining things up in mirrors and building that sense of spacial awareness that's lasted a lifetime. But thinking back to cars in the late seventies here in the UK (never as big as '60s Buicks, which we'd marvel at on US TV shows and later on holidays over there) they had huge chrome bumpers front and back. You could inch closely to another parked car knowing the worse you'd do is touch bumpers. Some manufacturers even put rubber pads on the vertical parts of the bumpers - you'd literally bounce off them! Modern cars have zero protection, probably because generations of drivers since have grown up with sensors and bleeps and now cameras so manufacturers saw no reason to add bumpers. I'm also a big fan of Tesla's minimalist approach, I just think that as a new owner of a MY the lack of USS wasn't properly explained and I fear that the vision-powered replacement won't reach parity for several months, maybe a year ... if it ever does.Only if you bought before the price reductions. No USS, but up to $13,000 less AND a $7,500 tax credit? That seems more than fair.
I'm a big fan of Tesla's minimalist approach. I like the idea of fewer parts/components - fewer things to go wrong. I find the USS parking sensors in most cars to be frequently inaccurate, so don't rely on them anyway - seems we are ultra-critical of Tesla, and give others a pass.
In reality, we all have the privilege of being part of a technology revolution. Some day when you send your grandkids to school in a FSD car, you can tell them, "I was one of the the first ever with vision-only parking assist! It was like hand crank starting an old Model T!"
So here's mine: "Learned to drive in a huge '60s Buick, only audible alarms during parking were scraping of fenders/bumpers." You figured it out pretty quickly. So the other alternative, like Engi_Nerd, just turn off the chimes and learn to drive like a boomer!
Same hereI hope that Tesla doesn't disable USS on our 2022 MYLR like they did with radar.
Yeah, 12 year old Volvo XC60 has a much better precision and audible chimes, which actually made sense (louder from the sensor side which was the closest to the obstacle) than the marvel of the EV world I only hope for future updates, not much help as it is right now.Coming from an Audi q7 that was accurate as hell ..Tesla vision is disappointing to say the least. In Audi it would chime when rear or front was close. This thing chimes all over in a tight garage..may have to get used to it or turn it off. I bought this prior to having the vision and these seem to do more than Tesla Vision

Which raises a good question: does Tesla actually read this site? Has it ever responded?We all should join hands together and wait & see for 1 year if they can pull this off other wise we should sue them for doing this kind of business. I was a die hard fan of Tesla but I cannot accept a sub-par level experience for premium charges. I hope someone from Tesla is reading/watching this.
i drove a denali that hadvibration in the seat feedback when you get a bumper close... needless to say i got as close as i could to every obstacle for that sensual feeling everytime i parked, lol! no doubt made me a LESS safe driver thoughYeah, 12 year old Volvo XC60 has a much better precision and audible chimes, which actually made sense (louder from the sensor side which was the closest to the obstacle) than the marvel of the EV world I only hope for future updates, not much help as it is right now.
That's absolutely fair. Your needs are much different than ours.I just think that as a new owner of a MY the lack of USS wasn't properly explained and I fear that the vision-powered replacement won't reach parity for several months, maybe a year ... if it ever does.
Those pings are practically worthless. For curbs that you would actually care about, it doesn't work. USS doesn't show like for example the front parking blocks (unless the parking spot was sloped down toward it, in which case sometimes the angle helps pick it up). Also when you parallel park or pull up to a curb it doesn't show the curb on the side. If you looked at videos of the Vision based parking assist, it now actually shows lines where the curbs are.I have USS and it shows curbs when I drive (yellow circles). It doesn't give a distance for those though.
The USS is very accurate down to the feet and is consistent when I park front-first in the garage.
