So am I reading that right? Newer Teslas have no parking sensors !????That would be me. Still waiting for that neural net update to give me parking sensor functionality. At least I won't have to go to the dealer for the update when it comes out next year.
Bro what is the point of the back and forth on this? Are you bored? If you're considering a switch just go and rent the car and see if you enjoy it. The thing I'm realizing is Tesla isn't trying to be something it isn't, it just focuses on what it IS. Fast, Simple, High tech, and their vehicles are sleek(Not the best looking but simple designs) Like I've said I've owned MULTIPLE cars worth over 100k sticker from BMW,AUDI,BENZ this car isn't the same as those. It's COMPLETELY different and I'm having a ton of fun. This is like the first time in a while when I got in the car and had a damn smile on my face in my short time of owning a p100. Mind you I came from an M8 and an RS7(This is the best of the best for those brands and I don't miss it at all) Not even sure you can compare them as well. But what tesla offers it does very well. This is coming from a straight up Audi FANBOY
I appreciate the feedback. Yeah probably am enjoying the back and forth while also helping me to better see how others use their vehicles; Sorry but what's your problem with the back and forth if am the OP good with it? Just trying to have a conversation and a few comments here we really useful for my in-town drive intended application.
So why don't you get those cars if this is so important and stop this madness xD. Like there's nothing else anybody can say to convince you nor should they want to. This is a forum for back n forths but at this point this is just trolling.
Just got the P100D and I'm hoping I can say this in 2027. Btw the red looks sick. My car is black and I definitely need a wrap lol
I'll be test driving that 2021 Tesla Model S based on the feedback here look like nothing much to lose compared to new 2022. I'll see if the dealership is willing to let me test it for half a day.
Currently, yes. There is supposed to be a new software load that provides the same functionality using all the cameras and a bunch of neural nets. Per Tesla MO, they removed the sensors before having the software complete. The SW was promised "shortly", but Tesla's definition of short is skewed. Ideally they would have it done PRIOR to removing the sensors. On the plus side though, my bumper doesn't have holes punched through for 1990s sensor technology.
I have most of them already, for relaxing highway trips. The one that is due for a new toy now is our in-town daily drive which is right now is the Plug-in Hybrid X5 (60K miles today, 2020).
I checked the photos of the 2021 Model S that am going to test drive this week. There are no holes. Is that an indication that it has no sensors? If so, when will the software be able to accommodate (sensor-like) behavior? Will that (in the present) impact the vehicle ability to park itself or navigate in tight places (parking lots or garages without notifying me that am close enough)? Am kind of surprise about lack of parking sensors!!!
There is no denying Tesla is not in the business of providing interiors like these. If this level of refinement is important to you, you definitely don't want a Tesla for long trips.I have most of them already, for relaxing highway trips.

The discussion of highway trips. Our highway drive for the past 12 years have always been S-class vehicles with rear seat goodies. 3rd photo is not a photo I personally took, but a replica of my W223 S580 which is a replacement of my W222 S560. We have a 2020 X7 M50i too (bought it pre-owned, 46K miles for less than 66K USD). My only point is, I don't see how my wife and I can let go a car like this that we enjoy driving vs relaxing in the back on 50-50% basis during our monthly 8hrs trip. Others probably have never experienced that luxury and it's benefits, but I did, hence was just trying to share my part of the story as to why Tesla is a no-good highway carrier at that price range (well, Telsa plaid is still slightly cheaper that a fully loaded W222/w223 but close enough) if we can get or keep or S-class.
Yes, that is an indication there are no sensors. Tesla said the software would be done in early 2023. I usually add at least 6 months to any promises like that. Until they push out the software, auto-parking, smart summon, and distance measurements are not available. Again, there are pros and cons to owning a Tesla. You have to decide what is important to you. Unlike traditional vehicles, Teslas change a lot over their lifespan. The car you buy today will function differently 4 years from now. They put in the processing power and hardware to implement future features they haven't even thought of yet. That is one pro. One con: removing antique sensors for a SW solution that isn't complete yet.
Assuming the new approach works better than Parking Sensors, will older models also get the same implementation technology wise since it's all camera based?
That’s the beauty of having these types of options. Want something that’s comfy to sit in? Get the S580. Want something of similar size that’s also crazy fast? Get the Plaid.I have most of them already, for relaxing highway trips.
