Park Assist Unavailable Message
- Thread starter MIM1
- Start date
My 2022 Model S has the same problem. It's been happening for a couple of months. I took it in a few weeks ago, they replaced an ultrasonic sensor and declared it fixed. On my way home, the same thing happened again, so I turned around and went back. They kept it overnight, declared it fixed again, and on my way home the problem appeared again. I took it right back, and they kept it for four days, and finally told me that there's a fleet-wide problem with some cars that needs to be addressed with a firmware fix that's under development. The same problem prevents auto-steer on autopilot from working, as well as full self-driving beta.
I talked to the service center again yesterday, and they said that there are many many complaints about the same issue now. They also told me that the regional manager has a Model S with the same problem, and he can't get it fixed either yet. No estimate on when the update will be available. So... Waiting for the update...

People have been getting the same story (a fix is in the works) for a year now. I wonder if they're just lying to us.

New S - Park Assist Unavailable
Have had my new S for almost one week. The Park Assist Unavailable warning is on intermittently. No rhyme or reason. Will work when leaving garage, then turn off while driving. I can pull partially into the garage (with it not working), put it in park and it works again. Am I missing...

There was no firmware update in the works for this problem. I escalated it to the regional manager and he got me into a service center that actually knew what they were doing. They kept it for 6 days, and replaced a wiring harness near the front of the car. It works like a charm now. So if you get the answer for any problem that they're working on a firmware update, be suspicious.

Had the same problem, Tesla fixed it (after 4 svc visits). Solution as follows: They put a monitor on the parking sensor wiring and noticed it was picking up a signal whenever the air conditioner compressor turned on. They wrapped the wiring to shield it until it no longer picked up that signal and voila! I've had the car back for two months with no failure. Anyone that's frustrated with this please show them this post. It was fixed at Tesla in Temp AZ and svc call was closed May 19, 2022 last 6 digits of my vin 473251. 2022 Model S. Hopefully, this helps.

Yes - the exact same problem with my 2021 MS LR. It's encouraging to know that it's a fleet-wide problem because that means it'll get some attention at some point.

On another thread, two owners reported that after several trips to the service center, the problem was finally diagnosed to be a faulty wiring harness in the front of the car. One harness had to be replaced while the other one was wrapped to shield it from unnecessary signals which trigger the error. It seems to me that calling this problem a "firmware issue" that will be resolved at a later date is the path of least resistance. I've messaged the Service Center again and am waiting for a response.

Your problem may be different from mine, but it sounds very similar. I finally escalated the problem to the regional manager in my area. He got me into a different service center that actually knew what they were doing. They kept the car for 6 days and finally fixed it by replacing a wiring harness. It's been working perfectly since then. I think "future firmware update" is what service centers tell people when they don't know how to fix a problem. Here's the report from the service center that was actually able to fix it.

I’ve actually gone from bad to worse now that I’ve come back from the service center. From intermittently occurring to constantly on now. I get both “Park Assist Unavailable” and “Sensor Obstructed” error messages constantly. The fact that they’re constantly flashing in my line of sight is annoying and a distraction. I’ve requested another service appointment and will be armed with all the feedback from you gentlemen. In the meantime, is there a way to turn off the damn messages?

Mine has never worked. Occasionally park assist pops up when I'm at a stop light. I guess the crosswalks are more clearly marked than the stripes on a parking lot, lol.

Just stop at a traffic light where it is not supposed to pop up and you will see it
Yes, sarcasm. happens to me a lot in the last year.

I read in the manual, that it needs 3 solid references IE: a car in front, a curb and/or a marked line. I was able to get it to work in front of my house.
