Tesla Vision

[BelfastEV]

In layman terms what does this mean ?

“Tesla Vision​

We are taking the next step in Tesla vision. Your vehicle now fully relies on camera vision to measure distance to nearby objects, deliver active safety features, and provide Autopilot and Full-Self Driving capability (if purchased). This new approach enables improved visibility, better object detection, and greater abilities for Autopilot in the future. With this move, your Model Y is no longer equipped with ultrasonic sensors, which will temporarily impact some features.”

Teslas do not have parking sensors these days. Equivalent functionality based on cameras is in testing but not released yet.

There are approximately eleventy billion posts on the subject on the forum already, if you want to look them up. There is very little concrete info on timeline other than that a few examples have been found of vehicles using the pre-release functionality in the wild, presumably for testing.

So in terms of parking I am worse off in a new Y than in my 2019 M3?

TL;DR - your car has lost several previously-available features. You may get these back at some indeterminate point in the future, or not. Congratulations on the new service and degraded vehicle.

Yes. But only until you apply a software version that disables the ultrasonic sensor suite in your 2019. Then you’ll have parity as both cars will then be similarly degraded.

Tesla always aimed to improve on a human with 2 swivelling optical sensors. This allows you to use original equipment......

Yes. But only until you apply a software version that disables the ultrasonic sensor suite in your 2019. Then you’ll have parity as both cars will then be similarly degraded.

Which for accuracy has not been mentioned, and so far was specifically denied. I agree it's reasonable to suggest that there is a precedent from the radar removal that eventually all cars will use the same capability.

The very tiny advantage will be that you don't have redundant components fitted to the car that may need repair e.g. if you need a new bumper.

The would be a YES

Yup, what he said. Lovely ain't it?

“We’re giving you less and charging you more for the privilege”.

This whole “Tesla Vision” experiment is one of the single dumbest things Tesla has done. They’re alienating their customers and ceding the R&D high ground in autonomous driving that they once held to the likes of Mercedes and Toyota.

ceding the R&D high ground in autonomous driving

Did they ever hold it or just tried to self-award it instead of by demonstration
Who will win the self-driving race? Here are eight possibilities

I still hope the parking sensors removal was a supply issue and they will be back at some point. No retro fit of course.
Why would you do it without the alternative ready to go. That would be a massive slap in the face to your customers.What sane company would do that? Oh wait

You are.
No beep beep Beeep BEEEEEEEEEPPP. And no distance in inches on the screen either.
I’m in exactly the same position.

Perfect layman translation.

And now they’re not even including a wall charger. Tesla is just going cheap.

In fairness, Elon has a $44,000,000,000 mistake to remedy sooooo….

They are in this part of the world/forum

They are in this part of the world/forum

I definitely panicked for a few days when I read the US posts about that until I figured they still included them here!

What if you don’t want to accept changes? Can you cancel your order and get your order fee back?

Yes.
Right to withdraw. Which is what I am going to do.
Tesla or anyone else cannot force you into a contract we’re they changed SIGNIFICANTLY the car you are going to receive.

I think I’m going to do the same. I only have an option to proceed with delivery though… do you have any other option? Should I contact my sales advisor?
