Do they still make you parallel park? What if you just engage the auto-park thing and let the car do it. Does that count?

Drivers Ed in school is no longer a thing in Texas.The way folks drive out here, I was wondering if DMV administers any kind of test. Also, and related, do they still teach Driver's Ed in high school?

Yeah, I remember taking behind the wheel in a huge (by today's standards) 1968 Chevy Impala crammed with the instructor and 3 other students.My Nephew lives in CA. I paid a couple hundred bucks for him to take some drivers ed/training class before he could get his license. (I'm the rich uncle, so I do stuff like this for all my nieces and nephews) So I don't think they do any of it in high school any more.
When I was in 9th grade they made us take drivers ed, but you still had to take a behind the wheel training class to actually get your license. It was expensive even back then, and my family was poor, so I never got my license until I was 17 and I moved to NV where that wasn't required.
Thanks! That’s the first hand feedback I was hoping for.I did mine in our P3D. Normal stuff, just point to where the controls are. The instructor loved the car and got 0 demerits
Hah, back in '74 we had the use of Buick LeSabres for our driver training in high school. Tanks, like my parent's 1967 Dodge Polara. Both my daughters had to take private lessons before they got their licenses as high school no longer offered that option ('03 and '07). Older daughter drove our '02 Honda Odyssey and the younger one a '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee for their tests.Yeah, I remember taking behind the wheel in a huge (by today's standards) 1968 Chevy Impala crammed with the instructor and 3 other students.

It is called parallel backing. Just backing up against the curbi think they gave up on this - my daughter just had to pull to the curb and then put it in reverse and drive backwards a short distance without hitting the curb.
Park and Parking Brake are not the same on the Tesla.
As in most cars, putting in Park puts the transmission into park but does not engage the parking brake. Push the button and hold, the parking brake engages, a separate braking mechanism than putting in Park or pressing the foot pedal.
In theory, if you lose the regular brakes and regen is not enough, you can press and hold the parking brake to stop.
In addition engage autopilot while accelerating, and say "hey look, no hands!"Do a full ludicrous launch
