I'm really perplexed why I have the unicorn car, and my experience isn't the common one - or perhaps it is the common one, and just the problem cars come here to lend their voice. Dunno.IMO, I find Tesla's self-parking bad, still.
I like the UI (outside of the S/X) to select a spot, which is unique, but it performs worse than my old Ford in both parallel parking and back-in. It's really slow and often wants to make a second attempt because the first it misjudges, unless you pre-angle the car perfectly.
Most tests online show BMW, Audi, and Ford better than Tesla, but they are older tests. They all seem faster and to make less mistakes, except ford that will ramp the curb on occasion.
I just took a coworker to lunch today and came back, showing her the new parking system. All the spots highlighted, and I picked an empty spot between two cars. She was quick to tell me "But that spot is up ahead, don't you need to pass it?" Nope - pressed Start and it pulled forward, angled, and then backed into the spot in one fluid move perfectly centered.
