No Proximity Chimes in 2023 RWD (no FSD)?

[Sinseer]

Just picked up our 2023 Model Y yesterday. Not having the parking censors is a HUGE disappointment, especially for my wife. I really hope they get this implemented soon.

Same here, took delivery of RWD Model3 and both my wife and I rely on this feature in all previous cars especially as with have limited drive length. Are there any details on this coming back as all the supprt guides detail it as an option to switch on whihc is no longer showing

I have to say, of all the bizarre Tesla wackiness, this one is pretty big. I can’t imagine not having those sensors. While it is true that my last car had less adequate sensors, and the car before that didn’t have any sensors, in this day and age I’m completely reliant on that feedback when parking. Anybody who expected to have ultrasonic sensors/parking feedback that receives a Tesla today, and doesn’t have it, is really getting screwed. Tesla better be working on the substitution at warp speed. And it better work.

Yeah, this is the case because cars these days have AWFUL visibility through the windows. This is probably mainly due to safety standards requiring thicker supports, but also styling. Our older cars did not require things like back-up cameras, but I can't see a damn thing out the back window of my Model 3, so I would put the back-up camera down as a necessity, not just a nice to have option.

As for proximity chimes, even the necessity of those is being increased with tighter parking spots and increased use of drive thrus.

I totally agree with you that this is Tesla wackiness. I get that their vision is for the computer to just handle everything, and sometimes the best way to achieve your goals is to remove any crutches you may have, forcing development to create innovative solutions that do not rely on things like LIDAR, radar, ultrasonics, etc., but I think Tesla is way underestimating the amount of effort required to meet their complete automation goals.

Once upon a time, you could actually see things out of the rear and rear side windows of cars...

And some time before that:

1959 and 1960 probably had the fewest degrees out of the 360 blocked by pillars and trim. That's a 1959. Makes a Model S look tiny.

So from what I read on this as they have removed the USS from new versions the Parking assist and some other features are disabled till a future update Tesla Vision Update: Replacing Ultrasonic Sensors with Tesla Vision | Tesla Support United Kingdom but there is no details on when they will be added back which would be good to have some form of ETA but dont support that will happen.

Park Assist	✓	Coming soon
Autopark	✓	Coming soon
Summon	✓	Coming soon
Smart Summon	✓	Coming soon

Well officially my first and last Tesla

Bought my wife a 2023 Model Y on Nov. 28. 2022. Tesla would not let us inspect the car, had to pay for it first. Drove it home to find that it has zero parking sensors front or back. My neighbor across the street has a 2023 Model Y built in Oct it has actual parking sensors, Ours, built in Nov. 2022 has none. I have 75 miles on it and want to return it, as it is frankly mis-represented in my opinion. My 22 year old BMW Z3 has as much functionality as my high tech Tesla. Any way to return it in the first 7 days with less than 75 miles on it? Thanks

No

It's probably due to lack of ultrasonic sensors. IMO, that's a huge shortcoming.

Is this a problem that Tesla could service for? Or is it a feature dropped from this model?

It is a feature that had hardware dropped, with the intention of performing the same feature via software "later" as tesla promises. There is nothing that Tesla service is going to fix / remedy, so you would be wasting both your time and theirs if you tried to submit a service request for it (they would simply cancel it when they got to it.

Could it be the software?

I have a 2022 Y and when I have FSD ticked on no beeping sounds when I am getting close in my garage. When I turn off FSD the beeping sounds come back.
