Maybe 360 bird's eye view:
360 surround view + HDMI kit testing
This is a 5 minute video of BearBu’s HDMI and 360 surround view system I installed last weekend. Did another round of calibrating the cameras last night. Still not perfect, but making progress. At the end are a few pictures of sideview mirrors disassembled.

Tesla should be making sure that the replacement is available first and working well in rain, snow and bright light before removing the sensors. We are paying Tesla for our vehicles and I personally don't mind paying a little bit extra directly to have this feature that we've had for years continue to be standard on new vehicles. Why not add the 360 degree real camera view plus front bumper camera as standard while they are at it, plus the long-rumored integrated solar panel option.
Looking at what Musk did to twitter employees, I don't think we will have it... he is the richest but also the cheapest.
I wish I’d never bought the new Tesla it’s just not safe without the sensors. It was crazy to build a luxury car without them. I literally haven’t driven a car without parking sensors for over 25 years. I’ve had the car for 2 days and hate this I would not recommend a Tesla because of this

Yes, super common. My father-in-law had them installed on his car, and they worked well. It's very simple - they drill the bumpers to install the sensors and then hide interior speakers for the beeps. The major downside is the black sensor warts on the bumpers.
In theory, eventually, Tesla will roll-out the sofware update to correct this. No arguing that this was an epic fail of expectation management.
It was huge error of judgment to remove the parking sensors without a viable replacement. A family member specifically asked whether their new model 3 would have the sensors before they collected it at the end of last year and were told it would. On collection, this was obviously a lie. They were told that the new camera based system would follow shortly but I now read that this will only be available with the FSD. If that is true, it is ridiculous and there is an argument that the car was sold based on a false representation. Even cars that are half the price come with sensors as standard and I haven't had a car without sensors in over 20 years. The lease on my model 3 ends soon and I would have opted for the Model Y Performance but I am now looking at an alternatives.

It's not about USS; it's about the feature. The current Teslas do not have any kind of parking distance alert feature that nearly every other car on the planet has. And there is no timeline to add that feature to the cars.
I believe you would void the auxiliary battery warranty by fitting aftermarket parts and connecting to the system.
According to Tesla swapping out the puddle lights voids the warranty.
Either way not something I recommend and not something I would do myself. But the guy is asking for ideas since it seems so important.
You can always hook it up to a separate battery or the cigarette lighter.
There are even wireless ones that are on the license plate frame and use rechargeable batteries or solar cells.
Yes. Here in the UK parking spaces are tiny; carpark turning spaces even tinier!

Well, here it is 4 months later and still no parking assist. Maybe all the young hard-core engineers at HQ should stop working on games, and work on actually useful features instead?

This is so true. Lived in blighty for 3 years and most spaces are made for tiny little Citroens. Parallel parking on High Street almost requires having USS's!
The product owner is someone named Elon M and it’s not on his priority list! He rather have the car fart at 41mph…
