Autopark?

[UncaNed]

I have a year-old Model X with EAP & FSD.

I stumbled upon a video for autopark; didn't know autopark existed existed. How do I make it parallel or perpendicular park itself? I can't find out how to initiate that.

You have to pull past the spot and wait for "P" box to appear before putting it into reverse. Then you get the option to commit to autopark on the screen. There is more documentation in the manual available on the main screen.

YAY! Thanks, can't wait to try it.

Hahaha. Don’t you just love discovering your car has features that other companies would have you pay a lot extra for ?
I had similar experience the other day when I realized for example the car had adaptive headlights. I had been wondering when my driveway had started being lid up so well. Then randomly saw the headlights adapting one day.

I hate to say it, but you may want to try reading the manual.

and FYI, don't get discouraged. It can be difficult to get the "P" to show up on your screen. I can usually get it most of the time now, but it is a LONG learning curve.

Barely works. Hard to get the prompt to appear, takes forever, and sometimes hits things.

Don't you guys read the manual.

I think you have to put it in Reverse to get the “Autopark” button to appear. I think for parallel parking it’s pretty darn good, but for perpendicular parking (backing into a spot in a parking lot for example), well, you are better off doing it yourself.

Ah! Now I get it. Just like EAP and FSD. This must be why I never hear about it, so its been out of sight out of mind, sounds like I haven't been missing much. Thanks for the reply.

It COULD work well, if the car used sensors and cameras to construct a model of the world around it, and then used that context to maneuver into spots.

Instead it just reacts to real-time sensor data, making it clunky and possibly dangerous.

EAP works far better than AutoPark.

OK, so I was confused, too. I just got AP and FSD and I read the manual (I thought) but couldn’t find any “Autopark” slider or options in the menus. So, it’s just “there” and a virtual button appears in appropriate situations?

Correct. Give parallel parking a try. Just pull up past an open spot, I suggest you select a big opening the first time. You will see a rectangle with "P" in it appear. Put it in reverse. Then confirm the autopark and let the car do its thing. Be ready to take over, but do not touch anything until it is done.
