Autopark without FSD?

[15Peter20]

Hi all, first post here.

M3LR black/black on order since 8th October. Waiting excitedly for a VIN same as many others from the delivery thread.

My question: in the Tesla app it offers to take me through my car’s features, one of which is Autopark. I didn’t order FSD and was under the impression one had to in order to get this feature. Will Autopark be present does anybody think?

Autopark is only available with FSD, or for those that managed to purchase EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) when it was available.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the swift reply.

I’m sure there’ll be plenty more toys to play with!

If you watch a few UK based Autopark videos on YouTube you probably won't feel too bad about missing out on it

I have had auto park on previous cars. I tried it out once but if you can drive at all forget it. Too slow!

Same on my Prius. You could die of old age before the car parked

I paid for Active Parking Assist with Parktronic when I got my current car. I think that I've used it less than a dozen times. It's very hit-and-miss, sometimes tries to park at 90 degrees when you want it to parallel park, its slow to detect a parking space, slow to operate and generally not very good at all.

A complete waste of money.

Not sure I'd call it slow. I've used it a few times and its not too bad. Best use case is parallel parking between 2 cars.

It doesent actually pick up "spaces" that are not bound by other objects, such as other cars/walls etc.

So I guess, if it's an empty car park you can easily just park yourself, so you only really need it for tight spaces, but yeah.

Another downside, if both cars either side are badly parked, it will be in line with the parked cars, not the lines.

I agree. It has its limitations but within those limitations it does a decent job.
Now if they'd upgrade it with a car-dimension block one could move on screen to where one wanted car to end up on a 360 view it'd be magnificent.

FSD is still showing on mine at £6,800, but I noticed about a month ago that semi-FSD was available for £3,400 and that included autoparking plus a few other things. I'm beginning to wish I had researched the option a bit more now. Did anyone get the £3,400 option and can they enlighten us on what it offers?

It was for enhanced autopilot. The main draw was the ability to change lanes on motorway without having to disengage autopilot. Arguably quite steep for for the privilege but it turns motorway driving into a breeze

You can "subscribe" to FSD for 199/mo USD and cancel at any time, which is a lot cheaper than $12k for outright purchase. So play with the features for a month or two and decide if its worth continuing.
