Auto Park

[Cheryl]

I’ve read the directions and tried several times - and with nearly 2000 miles on my car, it has only auto-parked one time. What am I missing?

Maybe he's talking about his Genesis?

yes. I was extrapolating from my experience. I have absolutely no interest in my car parking itself. On the other hand, even though I am fairly thin, there are always some aholes who will park so close to you that you can't open the door and slide in. I was suggesting that IMO that is the parking feature that would be the most useful.

Why are they framing it like that's a bad thing?

Makes sense. No one makes a good autopark lol. I haven’t tried teslas new implementation but other than that, everything I’ve tried is frustratingly slow

I watched it back into a spot (perpendicular) during 2nd test drive. I wouldn't say it was slow at all.

Update to my Jun 16 post....now that I'm on 2.2.10, I am ZERO for FOUR in having auto park recognize any spots (I have a reasonable understanding of the conditions under which it should and shouldn't work, there were plenty of cars, a few spots, no diagonal spots, and I was driving at about the same speed that worked without issue in the past). - it appears to be completely nerfed. Prior to this, with earlier versions, it was picking out spots left, right and center (well...left and right, technically). Since then, big goose egg.

Now I find myself wondering, is it working for anyone in 2.2.10?

Welp, scratch that, it worked today in a crowded parking lot. Will test blue to try to find a pattern. It did it perfectly.

I just come to the conclusion that’s it’s extremely unreliable no matter what software version you’re on. I was in a crowded parking lot, going slow today and passed so many spots it didn’t recognize any. It’s useless!

When it finds a spot, the auto park feature is great. Unfortunately it almost never finds a spot.

I’ve had the car since December and the feature has only worked for me a few times. Most of the time now I don’t bother to even try.

I was in a crowded lot today with a couple of spots open and it just couldn’t “see” them.

It’s disappointing, but it seems like a software problem. Hopefully it will get fixed. In the meantime I’m fine with parking my own car.
