Long story short, my Model 3 delivery was pushed back for about a week due to a paint issue on the front bumper. Paid a visit to Precision while the car was there and learnt that they will take off the bumper for a repaint.
Got the car 2 days ago and discovered yesterday that all front ultrasonic sensors are not working. Screen shows Park Assist Unavailable as soon as switched gear into D/R.
So I suspected that maybe Precision forgot to connect the cables for the sensors. Tried scheduling a service appointment with Tesla and the earliest date was early Feb.
After waiting for 1 day, I just can't sit around longer. So I resorted to YouTube. Turns out, it was pretty easy to check the connection. The plug is located in front of RF wheel and only 3 plastic bolts need to be removed to access it. Guess what, the plug was just dangling around. Plugged it back in, rebooted the screen, poof, the error is gone.
If you ever need to check the connection or remove your bumper, check out this video. Removing the bolts is at 1:15. Cable connection is visible at 8:42.
