Hi,
I know there are more threads like these, but haven't exactly seen the answer I was looking for and not about to highjack someone elses thread.
Question: How dead necessary are the ultrasonic sensors for AP?
So I wrapped my model 3 in matte slate blue but I have an extra decal front and back in black gloss.
It is beautifully done, but understand that such decals are not for everyone.
I've noticed that the sensors are a lot less sensitive now. Especially the 2 front straight forward ultra sonice sensors.
When parking they won't show for instance a chair in front of the car.
AP works fine, I tested it with care and it sees the cars in front of me and brakes when needed.
So my back to my question. If the most use for these is for parking, I don't mind, I can park without sensors.
The wrapping company said they never have this problem and always wrap over the sensors and not cut it out.
But here I have 2 wraps over the sensors. 1 Matte slate blue and 1 Gloss black.
They can still cut it out if I wanted to.
Maybe I should add this story: (but not sure if this has anything to do with my wrap)
Today I was driving in the city on a main road and went to the exit lane. the truck driving on the main road was getting too close to the exit lane so I also went a little more to the right side. Every few meters there is a tree on the side of the road.
Suddenly the tesla took over the wheel wanting to go back to the middle of the exit lane. I prevented it.
AP or cruise control was not on.
