Just updated to FSD beta on my model Y radar last week. Is parallel Autopark gone? (Perpendicular really has no use in the streets of Brooklyn). I had used the parallel version numerous times without issue. Now I don’t have the option on the screen. Is it not available on Vision FSD? Thanks!
Is that true? Wow. (I currently have FSD Beta 10.4 on my 2021 Model X, but have not tried to fruition all the features (Summon, Parallel Park, etc.) because, frankly, FSD scares me at low speeds on surface streets. Too jerky, indecisive, and error-prone. I don't want to risk my baby to dings or curb rash. Maybe I'd try automatic parking if I could find a test parking lot with 1/2-inch-high curbs and mock, made-of-foam "cars" in the adjacent stalls.
I did make sure automatic parking was available (i.e., the option came up on the forward screen under low speed conditions) when I first got the FSD-Beta download. But I never completed a full test. And I have not tried it recently.
Just for the record, I use and find FSD Beta 10.4 OK on limited-access, high-speed highways, just as it has always been since I first purchased FSD in April 2021 before the Safety Score madness and the recent bout of numeric Beta downloads. However, in those circumstances it may be mostly regular Autopilot features I am enjoying, I guess.
True Story: When I first drove a Model X from the Dublin, California Tesla Showroom in 2016, the salesman who accompanied me on the test drive had me try hands-free parallel parking on a local side street. As I recall, it worked
great. I remember no problems, not being in any way being made nervous, and being left super impressed.
So if software for parallel parking was working so well in freaking 2016, why are we having so many problems now, five years later?
I have similar questions about early online FSD beta videos ostensibly showing extensive city and highway driving with little or no driver intervention. That has not been my experience, or the experience of many recent testers, apparently.
Is the FSD product we non-employee testers have now somehow less good then what used to be available?
