My 2020X had sensors on the front doors and it showed them working on the display.

Good to know about the Y - the day was pretty windy (the weather was crap actually) on the day that I had it for the drive. So perhaps I thought the resistance to opening was a motor I was fighting, when it was just the wind and a heavy door that I actually had to push myself for the first time in a while. 
It was true; however, doors only open fully while the car is updating. Surprisingly, they track obstacles through the cameras middle of update; however, not while the car is back in operational mode.
As for the call, it was a witnessed call by the Tesla Discord group; which is why it was reported by Teslascope, and why I had actually received compensation from Tesla in form of a charging credit. Had a full post about it on X.
It was not fake; I had simply had the car updating and it had working doors during the update. Anyone can try this while your car is ‘UNABLE TO DRIVE MID-UPDATE’. I had simply assumed that the 12.3.3 update had impacted that. Made a post in regards to that on X.
The great "Mobile Entry" mystery is solved here, I think.
Once again, the Sacramento Service Center is proving to be an entertaining place:
Sadly, they are all spoken for.

Not my image. Found on Reddit. Can someone that gets this report back and let us know if you think it’s actually using vision or just opening further? Does it still fight you?
Yeah I used it today. It actually opens wide enough now that you don't need to touch the door and fight the motor to open. I drove to my mailbox to try it out at 5:30 AM today to test it. It doesn't open fully wide but at least twice as far as before so that you can get in and out without touching the door.

Could you film this to show us how much they open now?

The wording mentions walking toward the vehicle, so perhaps it’s both front doors that open half way with the button press.

First video I’ve seen. But no obstacles are in the way, so you can’t tell if it would open into something or not.
The drivers door only is auto open. The passenger you open with the handle. The system does sense objects and will hold back on swinging open. It's so nice to have this finally! Also, I am not sure anyone else has noticed - but with the recent update the headlights (old LEDs) are brighter, has anyone else noticed this?
Sorry for the delay. I had work all day yesterday and when I got home my wife was out so I couldn't film it. I couldn't figure out how to post it here so I posted it on X. .
I took videos of the car inside the garage AND outside without obstruction for both drivers and passenger side. YES it does sense obstruction on both sides and YES it does fully open on both drivers and passenger side. It does seem to open wider than before even with obstruction but still it wasn't close to hitting the wall or the other car in the garage.
This car is a 2024 February build MXLR - my wife doesn't ever want to use FSD so we didn't pay or subscribe to it. She gets all the nice stuff - new yoke with camera button and horn and adaptive headlights and properly working doors! I'm jealous of her.
Not yet, but Not a Tesla App’s website is showing that FSD 12.3.6 is included with it, so hopefully it shouldn’t be too long. Also shows that over 2500 cars have received the update today so it seems to be a mass push.
