Firmware 2023.2 and Park Assist

[aq42]

Yesterday (or the day before) the online Model 3 Owner's Manual was updated to Firmware/Software 2023.2. TeslaFi shows a limited deployment to the UK so far.

The section on Park Assist seems to have been updated. Unfortunately I haven't downloaded the previous version, but the current one seems to imply that cars without USS should now have it

eg

Keep sensors (if equipped) and cameras clean from dirt, debris, snow, and ice. Avoid using a high pressure power washer on the sensors and cameras, and do not clean a sensor or camera with a sharp or abrasive object that can scratch or damage its surface.

and

Park Assist may not function correctly in these situations:

• One or more of the sensors (if equipped) or cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow, or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).

I'm waiting hopefully for the update . . .

Having read the updated manual it’s basically a long disclaimer for TV Parking. Saying you shouldn’t trust it and it’s likely to miss anything you’re near, particularly if it’s not dry, fine and warm…..

So did the 2022.16 version

I wish they did a birdseye / 360 view for manual parking… the Beta Autopark doesn’t need it when it will work - but until then it would be nice !

The car can't do 360 with the cameras in the positions they currently are. The cameras can't see the ground unless you're driving towards or away from somethiing. Of course the "occupancy network" is supposed to be a panacea for this, USS-less parking and all other problems, e.g. world hunger.

It’s just one of those things I miss - I got Alloy Gators instead

 

[MikeRadio]

The manual always had that same text

So did I but they don't fit 19" Gemini wheels!

Doh - so glad I did, drive through and multi story car park exists just don’t like wheels

 

[Wattsisname]

...drive through and multi story car park exists just don’t like wheels

Ain't that a fact!
So, you have Alloygators fitted. Which car, wheel size and tire brand combination please?

Ah! O.K. Such a shame that they don't fit the 19".

There is a lovely birdseye 360 view for parking now, seemingly activated at low speeds automatically. The wavy lines are a bit distracting but love the distance countdown.
Haven’t tested its accuracy but a neat way of displaying in my options. M3LD.

Really?

Do you just mean the standard ‘proximity’ graphics like this or full on birdseye 360 imaging?

 

[Whyone]

Err......where are you seeing this?!?

 

[Tony Hoyle]

Don't see how they could have a birdseye view without new cameras.. a constructed 3d image isn't the same thing.

I just got a mental image of a Tesla constructed image and just being some sort of Picasso’esq looking monstrosity
