I don’t know how well it works in rain. For frontal distance, I presume it’s using the cameras inside the windshield. Side cameras could get dirty.

Decline and cancel your order. Then wait a few months before the software is updated and then make the order.
Or get the car now, use it and wait for the update.
AFAIK, Park Assist is there and working today on all new cars.
No, it isn't as bad as you are reading. Remember, Internet forums are mostly where people come to complain.
This is one of the advantages of a Tesla. The car that you sale, the car that you will live with, is NOT the car that you will buy. I got a Model 3 over 5 years ago, there are things that the car has today that weren't envisioned then. Similar to Park Assist, when I got the car, I didn't have rear seat heaters, but a few months later, I did. They just hadn't been enabled in the software yet.

And how is it unreliable? Do you mean it never works?
Do you expect that it may get better in the future?
That's a little harsh.
I know how to drive, I know how to park, both parallel and perpendicular. But it is often nice to have a better view.
I haven’t bothered but it seems to me one could calibrate Park Assist. I expect there would be anomalous situations that would be accounted for like overhangs.
I recall at least one thread about people mounting an after market camera on the front.
FWIW, we exit an underground parking lot with a very tight right turn into a narrow driveway. It’s sporty. I have done it multiple times with USS Park Assist and Tesla Vision in our Model 3. I couldn’t describe the difference. I used to make the same exit with our 2014 Model S with USS Park Assist. That was even sportier but doable.
I don’t think waiting two weeks for another Tesla will help so you would lose your $250 fee. Is there anyway you could test drive a car with Tesla Vision?

In my 2023 HW3 MY without USS, distance measurement are way off, often saying you need to stop when you have a good two feet distance. They stopped delivering the MY with USS almost 9 months ago and promised functional parity for the TV system. I am not optimistic that TV will ever achieve parity with the current camera placement. If this feature is important to you and you want an MY, wait until the MY refresh next year and hope for better camera placement or other sensors that provide accurate park assist measurement, or consider buying a used MY with USS.
This is such a nonsensical Tesla-apologist reply. Do you use _ANY_ driver conveniences? If so, then why? If you deviate from the basic car controls then you should immediately stop using them and learn to drive properly.
The point is that it's a basic ...and really useful... feature. We can all drive perfectly well without parking beepers, but sometimes they're flipping handy and you know it. TV parking is a really half-baked solution that will _never_ be as good as USS.
Making excuses on behalf of a billion dollar company is so pathetic, you're getting shafted on basic features, you _should_ be irked and letting them know that it's a bull-crap cheap move, if consumers weren't so naive, then Tesla (among others) might then stop shafting everyone in favour of their bottom line.

How reliant are you on parking sensors? Park Assist now works, but as others mentioned, especially the front, it may give false readings. Also it doesn't show the lines shrinking below 12 inches (the USS version also doesn't show numbers decreasing below 12 inches, but the line distance continues to shrink), so you need indicators below 12 inches, then it probably won't work for you.
The new function supported by Vision park assist is it how shows side obstacles and also has front curb detection (USS does not show sides at all and many times will not detect a front curb).
The rear and side cameras of course still work either way (you can have them on permanently while driving).
If you are the type that can't park at all without parking sensors, then probably best to wait. If instead parking sensors are just niceties and you can still park while using the cameras, then probably you are fine.
You've basically had one update that enables the TeslaVision. And I think that it was pushed out the door just to get them turned on. There will be more updates.

Yes it is possible Tesla will some day update TV park assist to achieve parity or exceed the capabilities of USS. I sure hope you're right, but we've been waiting a long time. It is risky to buy a car that currently does not meet your needs with hopes that an update is coming that will fix the problem.
I bought one that didn't have rear seat heaters, but a few months later it did.
Tesla WILL be coming out with an update for the feature.
Sort of. More of a crazy front curb wag. Why I park with the car with a good 6 inches to the curb, it normally shows the curb line halfway across my frunk. Given how bad it is, I don't consider it to have any sort of front parking assist.
Remember the old joke about “if Microsoft made cars…”. Well seems like that joke has come true..
Or simply USS and radar for better cruise control without phantom braking
It's normal in that it's the only thing that it is occurring now. It's anticipated to change in the future.

No camera at the below Frunk level it's blind there.
March 22 delivery I haven't had any phantom breaking.
The visual parking assist seem quesy .
