I do that too, and have the ball string attached to the garage door so it goes up and down opposite the door.
It tells me 2 things, that I'm in all the way (so opening the tailgate won't hit the garage door), and when leaving the ball touching the windshield let's me know the door is fully open.
I have to say, it’s unbelievable that Tesla ships a £60,000 car with no parking aids. I have a 1 week old Y/LR with no USS but also no functioning camera assistance. Using the rear camera does nothing for true distance and is poor in the rain. The front camera isn’t even operational when parking and won’t be able to see much anyway. The latest software has brought nothing either.
Is this what Tesla ownership is like? Get what you’re given when tie given it?

Just an update on this. Tesla service came out and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He discussed with … well whomever they discuss thing with. They suggested it could be the clear PPF I had installed which when cold could interfere with the sensors.
I thought “that sounds stupid and like Tesla is shirking this issue”.
Had my detailer cut out the PPF and remove it from the sensors.
Works again.
So I’m eating my words there.

That's a common issue with PPF and installers. It can though be installed w/o issue with USS btw.

I assume you mean "forgot to remove it". Since I would imagine when installing ppf they're not trying to cut out the holes before they apply it.
Seems to be pretty common. Lots of amateurs out there I guess.

PPF over ultrasonic sensors
I had PPF installed on a new model s . The installer said he now does the PPF over the bumper sensors. They seem to work fine however I’d like feedback from others . Wondering if anyone has had experience good or bad with this . Thank you Force

Xpel front wrap & parking sensor issues
I got a wrap installed about a month ago (front bra + rockers) and I had them bra straight over the parking sensors on the front bumper. Since then, the parking sensors have a mind of their own but it's not consistent. One of three things happen each drive: 1) None work 2) Side sensors only...

PPF covering sensors - can I trim this off?
Got back from having STEK ProShield PPF installed on my MY's front end, and noticed that the shop apparently covered the parking sensors with the film. Various threads here say that this shouldn't affect the sensors themselves, but there's a white ring around each one where the film isn't...

Will Sensors Work When Covered by PPF
I've read a few short threads about covering or not covering sensors when wrapping. What is your current experience? Do sensors function as intended or does the wrap need to be removed for accuracy?. Thanks!

Picked up my MYLR end of 2023. I thought a car which cost 70k OTD will at least have parking sensors, my bad for assuming. And looks like with the new HW4 soon to be released my car which is barely 2 months old has end of life technology called Tesla Vision on it. I read some positive hopefull stuff on this last year and thought that Tesla knew what they were doing and had tested the technology before releasing it. It is what it is i guess. Anyways my garage is small, just enough space for the car to fit. If I back in. I dont have enough room to reach the charging port. Was thinking of just drilling some holes in the front bumper and adding my own after market sensors. Has anybody added aftermarket sensors to their car? If so what brand? Thanks!
I just put a scrap piece of 4x4 lumber on the ground and keep driving until the wheels hit it like a curb. No fancy tennis ball here.
My front sensors stopped working all of the sudden earlier this week. Cleaned the sensors but didn't remedy the issue. I did have PPF put on about and month ago and read that some people were seeing this causing the sensors to not work after the film fully cured. It's been bitterly cold all this week and I had planned to contact my PPF installer to discuss. Well, it got back up to about 60 degrees today and now the sensors are back to working normally. Guess they didn't like the cold weather. The auto wiper feature also hasn't worked this week. Wonder if they are working now too? Guess I'll find out at some point. haha

Model Y received 2022-May
Mine broke a few months ago right when they began rollout cars without USS. coincidence. They fixed my rear hardware on a service call. Front was also not working at times but that fixed itself magically.
Just in case folks missed it, mine was 100% the clear ppf causing issues when the weather started to turn a bit cold. Cutting out the ppf off the front sensors fixed it and all is good now.
