Auto Park....working well

[Lockerbie]

I have had problem getting the P to pop up for auto park. So, today the Tesla technician told me that for Auto Park, you need 3 points: 2 on the sides and 1 on the back ( e.g. 2 cars with a space in between and a curve or a car in the back). Otherwise, the P won’t pop up. I tried that a couple of times with both backin and parallel and it worked well.

How come I can get to 60 in 3 seconds but auto-park is slower than my grandma

Auto Park is older legacy software that hasn't had any meaningful attention in a LONG time. Likely it is a dead end and its code will be replaced by FSD beta when it progresses to parking.

I probably won't use auto-park, but adding a bird-eye view would be good for parking in general.

Yes but there are questions on its implementation since the cameras are not setup for it. For instance there is no camera view in the very front of the car.

True. Hoping for a faster autopark included in FSD that backs in instead of pulling in.

Autopark pulls in? I thought it only backed-in.

I think it backs in if parallel parking and pulls in if perpendicular parking like at a mall parking lot. I have only used the auto park for parallel parking and find it works really well.

Tesla auto-park always goes in backward.

This is how it should be, because it is not always possible to leave a parking space backwards. The rear wheels cannot steer.

I’m not disputing what you said. I can look in the manual but “smart summon” allows you to back out of a parking space.

Live in Georgia and we don't have a front license plate (think goodness) and many places do not allow back in parking.

Smart Summon will almost always back out first, even just a little bit. Auto part always move the car completely pass the parking space to measure the width to determine space requirement, either parallel or perpendicular.

But even Smart Summon cannot make the rear wheels steer.

Same. I have never had issues parallel parking but last week I was parking in front of my condo and was getting ready to start parallel parking but noticed the P was available. So, I decided to give it a try...I was very pleasantly surprised at how well and fast it parked.

The only other experience I had with an auto park system was on a MB E350 and it was slow compared to the Tesla.
