Just saw this on Reddit - Pause on S & X deliveries due to vision firmware update

If vision update means front bumper camera I will be severely disappointed that I didn’t wait lol.

If Tesla adds radar now, then no one will ever believe they are not following model years ))

Well for us HW4 S/X folks, we all actually have radar installed and wired up. It’s just not being used (or it’s being used in some sort of shadow mode)

You could easily go walk a lot and tell if there’s a front camera on sitting Model S/X.

My gut tells me you will not find one.

Considering the lot is 100 miles away from me, not so easy to check.

Anyway, the comment is tongue in cheek. Though it does seem odd that they’re delaying cars for several days for a vision update (especially when they’re usually desperate for an end of quarter push), but the rest of us didn’t get any notice of there being a problem.

I wonder if the hold on S/X was state specific. I just scheduled my delivery today for Friday next week.

If anything, I would think it is production date specific.

I was thinking California regulations or something...

So does my 2023 model S I just picked up 2 weeks ago have radar or are you talking about older cars?

It has radar. Not sure if it's being used or not.

It has radar.

But as far as we know it's not being used? If they started it using it would it make parking in my garage easier?

Not sure. I was wondering the same thing about parking. I don't think it would have the same resolution as the USS? Maybe it's not good for parking at all. I'm sure someone here knows though.

Found this. Not sure if it is what Tesla has though.

Supposedly the radar module is a “high resolution” radar… so maybe? But as far as I know Tesla hasn’t enabled them

Can high resolution radar be used for parking?

I found this. Sounds like it might

These are all design specific mm radar systems. Nothing Tesla or few if any OEMs are using. The high res radar Tesla added to SX cars in 23 is for possible future AB testing to see if it adds value toward FSD or as before gives false signals creating issues. I would classify Teslas addition an experiment at this point which would add nothing for parking as its long range radar not mm.
