One of the better videos, thanks for posting. How much room is there between your passenger door and your other car? Would you hit it if you opened that door to the first notch?

Perpendicular auto park.
I have spent the past hour trying this new functionality on my P85D. I live in a condo with garage spaces below. Each space is separated by a 1 1/2 sq foot concrete post. The spaces are roomy, however the garage is not that wide, and I have never backed my car in to prevent damage.
Hopefully some of you can give us more tips to improve the relibality to get the 'P' to display.
My experiences:
Driving about 7 mph past my spot the 'P' 'may' come on, indicating that it sees my assigned parking space. I stop, put the car in park and the main screen shows me the parking space and a button to 'CONTINUE'.
My first attemp at this resulted in me aborting as I was sure my car was going into the concrete post. When I finally had enough courage, I found that the auto park software performs as advertised and after several forward and back movements, parked perfectly in the center of my spot. This is really a neat feature, however, it takes somewhat longer than manually parking the car.
Now, hopefully we can share how to increase the reliability of having the 'P' display. I'm all ears for any tips on this.
Thank you Tesla!

If the second car wasn't there, say it was out of the garage temporarily, would it park in the same spot or would it center and hog the space?
I don't have the update, but I'd bet the app never will have it because they can't at least attempt to guarantee you have line of sight. Maybe through GPS distance?

It is just the fob, there has not been a new app version released recently.

Yep. Pretty sure they want you to be in the proximity, at least for these early periods, for safety reasons.
Well, it could be, tesla just chooses to have the app not work very well. Commands sent from Remote S are nearly instantaneous. The tesla app updates significantly slower than its capable of.

Yes, that is disappointing. I found it to be a very useful shortcut. Makes you wonder why they would get rid of it.
Hopefully the feature will come in the future for a designated home location (i.e. non public). That way you could have it come out ahead of time. It would "meet you there" as Elon originally said.
Not possible to do what you describe, nor should it be. I certainly do not want car owners mucking around with with their software versions, the potential for problems is too great. Remember, when driving on public roads you have a responsibility to everyone you share the road with, which means you need to not make modifications to your car that could negatively impact it's safe operation are not approved by the manufacturer.
As far as the Autopilot "restrictions" in V7.1, see the first posts in this thread and read through the screen captures shown, the information is there.

Yes, generally within a few days the whole fleet has been sent the update. No, you can't speed it up. As my grandmother used to say, "Patience is a virtue. Good things come to those who wait." ...and I'm waiting too.

Reading the relevant section in the new downloaded manual, it says" Summon is not available in Canada"
The only thing you can do is to drive to your local Service Center and ask them to push it to you while you are there and install it at home. I've done this once before leaving on a trip knowing there was a fix to something I needed before leaving. Of course the SvC would have to be a convenient distance for that to make sense.
I'm watching the part where the car stops just short of the doors before it opens them and for some reason I'm thinking of this:
Star Trek III Search for Spock - Stealing the Enterprise 1080p - YouTube
(Hey I have to do something while I'm waiting for my car to get the update, right?)
