Autopark in your own garage

[azmodls]

I know this is not what the OP wants, but mine opens the garage door as I approach, then I just back in watching the center display with parking lines to guide me in. Much quicker than trying to engage summon and waiting for it to slowly crawl in. Also, I back in from a perpendicular position, so summon won't work for me anyway.

... then I just back in watching the center display with parking lines to guide me in. .

yes .. that's the part I wish was automatable.
It is automatable in public parking lots where it detects parking spaces.
Would be awesome if it was that way in your own garage too, even if it meant painting lines on the floor.

When driving home, as I approach my driveway, the following occurs:

1) Suspension automatically raises
2) Garage door automatically opens

I pull into driveway and stop outside of garage.

3) I then proceed to... (*)
4) Car autoparks in a straight line. (**)
5) Garage door automatically closes.

(*) I can do one of three things here:
1. Double press [Park], press arrow on screen, remove seatbelt, open driver's door, close driver's door (while I remain in car).
3. Use keyfob to autopark, while I remain in car.
4. Use Tesla app on phone to autopark, while I remain in car.

(**) My experience to achieve a straight line autopark (note, I always back in):
1. If you have enough room for it to work, set your Edge Clearance to Standard. I originally didn't have enough room and had to set Edge Clearance to Tight. It auoparked straight, but once I made more room in the garage, it started parking crooked. I changed the setting back to Standard, and it started parking straight again. If you have a ton of room, it may still go crooked, seeking out the boundaries.
2. If you have a lip larger than maybe three eighth of an inch leading into your garage, have it blended (either asphalt filler, cement, pebbles, shaved wood, etc). My car would aggressively wiggle the front wheels trying to crawl over the lip and that would leave it crooked sometimes.
3. Obscure objects protruding towards the car on either side can cause it to try to correct for that object, depending on how close it originally started to that side. The system won't try to straighten back up unless it senses another obstacle on the other side.

You say double press park. What are you pressing? I can summon my car but I have not seen any control to actively engage it. The grey P has to show up by itself (or not) in my experience. HW1.

Park button at the end of the shifter stalk. But this is for summon (in), not auto park (so no "P" on screen).

 

[Algbc]

Like that?

yes but this does not work for me, I have no idea how to get this to work, I have auto pilot 2 and MX

the problems is you have to get out of the car in order for this to work.

 

[Bladerskb]

You mean like this?

 

[hmmm]

Used to work by double-tapping parking stalk, select forward from center screen, open driver door, close driver door (while still seated), wait for auto park.

I tried this and it wasn't working for me, it the car wasn't fooled...they're probably using seat sensors the same way they are used to arm/disarm the passenger airbags.

Well. the laziest on this thread (you know who you are...) may still have to get out of their car first

I just tried this on my HW1 car. No function at all double press on the park button does nothing. Maybe it was never enabled on Australian cars. We don't, for instance have summon from the keyfob. Only the app. No browser or homelink either.

 

[cgiGuy]

Yeah, it looks like they changed it and it uses the seat sensor. Still works if you lift your caboose from the seat and open and close the door. Good core workout.

Has anyone tried painting parking lines on their garage floor (even if it is temporarily with tape?)
Does the car detect them?

From the manual:

Note: Autopark detects potential
perpendicular parking spaces that are at least
9.5 feet (2.9 meters) wide with a vehicle
parked on each side.

It detects the parking space with the ultrasonic sensors as you drive by. It then uses the ultrasonic sensors to maintain distance from the vehicles on either side of the parking space. It's not using the lines on the pavement, so putting lines on the garage floor won't help.

Anyone have any clever tricks on self-parking in a carport with no lines? Is there a way to designate a home spot?

 

[DnD Gustavson]

I've had some luck by using white 3" gaffers tape to mark lines near the edges of my driveway. But they have to extend almost to the street before the car notices the space, and it parks crossing the sidewalk instead of near my garage door.

 

[DnD Gustavson]

Well, the whole reason behind this question is "personal efficiency". If I have to dish out the keyfob or phone out of my pocket to summon (even if I am sitting in the seat), I might as well use the steering to reverse in manually.

I wonder if anyone has tried painting parking lines in their garage, and perhaps the car will recognize that as a parking spot, that "P" will appear and you can press a button and let the car park itself, in your own garage!? That would be ideal!

@cgiGuy - your solution seems to be the least "headache". Although having to open/close door .. okay less of a big deal than dishing out a keyfob, but not a huge big deal. I'll give it a try.

I've had some success using white gaffer's tape:
