Speaking for myself, I prefer backing into spaces to backing out of them. Always have, and it's nothing to do with what car I am driving.It seems to me that I see way more Teslas parked rear end first than other cars and not just at SCs. Is this because people are used to doing it at SCs and just do it all the time now? Because they are using auto-park? Or am I just imagining it?
There are others where it's not allowed. See Backing into a public ChargePoint.I've been to some cities, where in certain places, there are actually signs that say back-in parking only. Usually in the narrower places.
That's the other thing I miss from my other cars. Comes in real handy at Costco parking lots, lol.Any car without rear cross traffic alert is safer if you park by backing into a parking spot. I do it at work, but most of my normal driving around I park nose in because I am most likely shopping and will need access to the rear hatch to load groceries or other purchases.

For me, I back into a space mostly to maximize my ability to see cross traffic in a parking lot (and I value the car I'm driving a lot, given how hard they are to replace, etc). The other thing to consider is that it's ridiculous that a car at this price with so many sensors can't/won't integrate rear cross-traffic alerts, the way the vast majority of cars at this price point do (and, yes, I know it requires different sensors than what the Tesla has, so they can't just do it in software). I'd probably pull in (rather than back in) more if that feature were available.It seems to me that I see way more Teslas parked rear end first than other cars and not just at SCs.

I think it became the cultural norm in Japan because it just easier backing in, in very tight and narrow parking lots, as often can be found there. Just as it's easier parallel parking when backing in. Indeed when things are super-tight in either parallel or perpendicular spaces, it could well be impossible to go front in.I have been backing into car spots long before I bought my Tesla. When I drove in Japan, I learned that it was the cultural expectation to back into parking spots. It is safer. It makes city parking easier, especially in an alleyway.
Also the charge port is in the back so it also makes sense that way.
Indeed. When a teenager in the early 70s, few folks had a personal car, so those that could afford their own car AND have a police-approved parking space took great pride in parking in tiny spots. Then a company named Times started a franchise system of leasing the equivalent of a parking space vending machine. I've seen places in Tokyo with just one spot and a payment box, but this space has two, and more generous than some! Between the tight spacing between cars and often facing a very tight road, head-in is not gonna happen. This is one reason I am getting narrow wheels and higher-profile tires on my coming MYP. This kind of parking is the norm in my neck of the woods, lol.I think it became the cultural norm in Japan because it just easier backing in, in very tight and narrow parking lots, as often can be found there.

And that is the only reasonBackup parking lets me use mirrors+cameras to easily get really close to curbs without bumping into them.
He was talking about for parking. It's sort of there with fsd beta visualization, but not quite there, as the edges arent defined enough to be useful.It’s sort of there for the horizontal screen vehicles, right? Was he talking about this? :
I do it for the quick getaway.

Now that’s a slogan.I do it for the quick getaway. Who are these people that take 5 minutes to get moving out of their spot?
