Heatmap for parking

[citivolus]

Last week I rented a Model 3 and noticed while parking it displayed what looked like a heatmap of objects nearby rather than the distance to the object. I can’t seem to find out how to enable this feature on my 2022 Model 3. Any ideas?

You’re seeing vision-based Park Assist, which is used in newer Teslas without USS (ultrasonic sensors). Your car probably has USS, so it still uses the older Park Assist with distances.

I guess vision-based Park Assist has come a long way, because most people complained about it at first and wanted the old version back.

Got it. It was in fact very useful and I wish I could get it on my M3!

The new features and visualizations are cool. But ultimately USS still has better accuracy. Especially for the front.

I think everyone will get vision-based Park Assist when it’s good enough.

To overcome the lack of accuracy, I turn on the rear camera when pulling into my garage at home. When parking in a parking lot, I prefer the vision-based approach, especially the rendering of lot lines.
