Maybe but FSD visualisation of 'people crossing the street' and wheelie bins are not USS-dependent...

I think he is one of those foreign types. From some place called "New Jersey" apparently. Not sure where it is but apparently they are not used to being taken advantage of by billionaires there so must be somewhere like Sweden I guess where they have lots of regulations rather than unregulated free market capitalism. Sounds nice.
Prior to 'tesla vision' it used to.. and oncoming traffic as well, but they ditched all that for some reason. It also had way better night vision before as well..
One time in the past I thought frequent OTA software updates was an advantage!
In preparation for my pickup of a Model 3 on Christmas Eve I have had to find a solution to parking very close to my house wall without USS. That wall would be very unforgiving on even the slightest touch, I am sure. I need to be close or the rear end will overhang the pavement. Backing in may be ok with the camera from all accounts but here is a little home made parking assist STOP signal for going in forwards. It only works in this one location, of course, but that is where I will be most of the time.. To replicate this idea you would need…
1. A small flowerpot or similar, lower than your front spoiler.
2. Grit or sand to weigh down the little pot
3. Most importantly, a stick whose top is visible from your driving position when inserted into the pot (Vertically)
4. An optional flag for the top of the stick to give it your own style and emphasise the stop point.
When set up in your desired stoping point as in the photo, inch towards the stick until the stick wobbles or moves then STOP
Maintenance: reset stick to vertical before each trip as required.
Seems to work Ok with my old car as a test !

You're welcome.
Tesla could sell branded plant pots or perhaps give one away free with each car that comes without USS.In preparation for my pickup of a Model 3 on Christmas Eve I have had to find a solution to parking very close to my house wall without USS.

Just sellotape a large squeaky dog ball back and front bumpers?
I park always in the garage, but the garage is a single so not a lot of room and I have a workbench and cupboards underneath at the far end - plus the gas boiler is in the corner, now for a previous car i moved the garage door - well actually I fitted a new door, was previously up and over but by fitting an electric roller shutter I was able to fit the shutter to the front on the bricks at the very extreme edge of the garage - this gave me about 9 inches more clearance. When i got the model 3 i needed a tad more - so i cut the workbench down in depth as i did with the cupboards underneath - so instead of 600mm deep they are 300mm - couldn't cut more as the boiler sticks out 300mm. When i reverse in the garage when parked i have 2cms gap between the bootlid and the worktop - the worktop height is just underneath the spoiler - i glued that yellow gas pipe insulation stuff to the front edge of the worktop - as a bit of insurance in case i get it wrong anytime - at the front of the car I have 2 inches between the number plate and the roller shutter - so it is a bit tight, my solution because the USS give a solid tone way before i get the back to the 2cm mark - I have put a black permanent marker line on the garage wall, vertically as a reference point between it and the passenger mirror, also added a red thick line vertically just before it so the aim is to reverse, have the mirror within an inch of the wall and stop when the leading edge of the mirror housing is about level with the red line - and so far in two years I not touched the bootlid on the yellow insulation material yet - and my car is garaged every single day - never ever left out.In preparation for my pickup of a Model 3 on Christmas Eve I have had to find a solution to parking very close to my house wall without USS.

But without front USS, how do you know that a dog isn’t playing with the ball
I guess you hear a squeal too?

you mean like this:
Wheel Stop
This wheel stop is great for guiding cars in to their parking spaces whilst preventing costly accidentsItems are often used in garages and car parks to keep cars neatly in their spacesFrequently found in car showrooms, body shops and refuelling stations to protect equipmentReflective yellow...
You have had endless test drives up until last month in cars with USS. And then found that after you put in your order, they have suddenly been deleted. All so that the world's second richest man can find a way to pay down his debts.
