For the record, I am vertically challenged, so my head does not bump the top glass in my MX. Having said that, I find it a bit challenging to line up the car between the lines in a parking lot. I usually end up much closer to the right line than the left. The side cameras are of NO help and even putting it into reverse to activate the cameras once I am in the spot leaves much to be desired. My friend's Ford F150 offers a fantastic 360 view and shows perfectly how lined up he is in the parking spot. So, yes, I have a bit of Ford-envy when it comes to cameras and the user interface.
What I really wanted to talk about here is does ANYONE actually use the parking assist in the Model X? I cannot remember the last time I saw the ephemeral "R" when passing an available parking spot. I have quit trying. I just park it myself like I did for 50 years of Driving 1.0.
I have a few observations which I would LOVE for Elon to see:
Thoughts?

I have a few observations which I would LOVE for Elon to see:
- Instead of driving past a parking spot (only one with vehicles on either side) and backing in, let the driver decide which spot to park in
- While pulling in or backing in, as soon as the adjacent lines show up on the dash panel, pull back on the lever (the one that puts you into cruise control) and the car would finish parking for you.
- When you arrive at a Supercharger Station, the car would pick out the best stall for you and park automatically.
- If the Supercharger is close to full, it would know which stall pair was closest to a full charge and put you into that spot's pair.
- I haven't thought about parallel parking because I so rarely parallel park that it doesn't matter to me
Thoughts?
