If I could just view the passenger side b pillar camera, backing into my garage would be a lot easier. Currently looking into using a security mirror.

@whitex -- Obviously we disagree and I can appreciate your point. The problem is that their language has always said "as long as it's on private property" or similar words, so pulling out of the garage onto a street and then going to the curb was not something they ever said orally or in writing. I agree that the graphic sure makes it look that way.
I still stand by the fact that (to the best of my knowledge) Tesla has delivered what was promised contractually on ordering documents which are all that have legal standing. Even Elon's tendency for hyperbole is not grounds for a lawsuit citing "non-delivery of a contractually promised capability" as has been discussed in multiple threads in these forums. It is certainly clear to me that Tesla creates very high expectations with their publicity and marketing efforts/demonstrations and creates an environment where people will be disappointed. I absolutely would not argue against that because I think that's true. Where i have a problem is when people state Tesla failed to deliver what was promised because I think they pretty much have and (from a legal perspective) have in fact done so. Now AP2.0/EAP/FSD are another issue entirely...but we're talking about your statements WRT AP1.0 promises.
Doesn't work outside the US if your garage has no 3G connectivity.4. "Model S will even park itself in your garage at home."
-- This is the summon capability.
Really? Even if using the FOB or is the FOB controlling Summon disabled in all (or some) countries outside the US?Doesn't work outside the US if your garage has no 3G connectivity.
That and AC seats (f you Tesla for announcing it 2 weeks after I took delivery) are by far the 2 biggest things I miss from other cars.
Pretty sure the fob-controlled Summon is an option in the US only. Elsewhere we must use the smartphone app.Really? Even if using the FOB or is the FOB controlling Summon disabled in all (or some) countries outside the US?
I just watched the video again. He first introduced the 4 components of Autopilot (front radar, front camera, 360º ultrasonics, GPS), then talks about the things it can do (using words like "it can", "it will", "you will be able to" for all of the below, which gave me the impression that the system he just introduced should be able to do all these things with future software/firmware updates, not some future hardware iteration). Below are all direct quotes (slightly edited to remove stuttering/filler words):Play the video again. He talks about the systems components and what it can do. He then talks about some blue sky things (such as meet you at the curb) he hopes it will be able to do in the future.
Exactly what I was thinking. I assumed this was a new feature that hadn't been fully implemented yet. How long has this feature been present in it's current state?while backing up my X and hitting the parking sign on top left, I am presented with a view which shows me the car and the data from the sensors.. But the UI is very empty, it makes me feel that tesla has plans to. show the parking lines and walls at some point in the future. The cameras should be able to detect the lanes and walls to build a point cloud of the area around the vehicle.
@wbhokie -- problem is the front view. The cameras that produce the "front of the car view" in those displays are on the front bumper or grill. In the case of a Tesla, the only forward looking cameras are on the B-pillars and on the top of the front windshield next to the rear-view mirror. As a result, the cameras have a blind spot extending several feet below the front of the hood...which is exactly where you would want that front camera to display for parking purposes. So there is no software fix to enable the display you and the OP are talking about...it would require installation of at least one additional camera somewhere on the nosecone (and likely two given how the current systems work).
