Braking for obstacles when in reverse gear?

[youngmcdonald]

I heard that in the latest firmware, Model 3/Y now automatically apply brakes when an obstacle is detected when reversing? Is this true? Will this somewhat alleviate the absence of RCTA?

Not sure, but Uncle Billionaire - will you please give me a few hundred $K for frivolous spending? I'm sure you won't even notice it's gone.

This seems too good of a feature for Tesla to not tout. Something of that magnitude would've been mentioned in the release notes. If it wasn't mentioned, it didn't happen - that's just my guess.

Aww, that was mean. I was just kidding. Life is priceless, and my wonderful children are the greatest gifts God has ever given me. No hard feelings though.

I knew you could take a lighthearted and harmless jab just like I did when you called me a billionaire and I could not be any farther from that so I had to reply with a jab given you’re now asking around for money! LOL. Having welcome our first a year ago, I know how expensive it is, and kudos to you guys. I don’t know how you do it lol.

Kids aren't expensive, Teslas are expensive.
