The opening of the driveway is usually flanked on both sides by parallel-parked cars, which is why I'd like the Tesla to deal with the PITA of backing into it in tight quarters. But, no, it doesn't sound like this matches either the parallel or perpendicular parking scenarios that the Tesla is designed to handle.
I appreciate the input. If self-parking is a parlor trick, like smart summon is right now, then I should save it for impressing people, not use it daily. It does sound like Tesla's version is useful, but not in my scenario.
Yes, summon would probably let me back the car up, but that's not really the hard part for me.
It doesn't. At best, it looks like a too-small gap between parallel-parked cars. I think I'm out of luck.depends on the driveway, mine is longish and it never recognized it as a parking space - because its a driveway not a parking space
If yours looks like a parking space maybe you'll have more luck.
That's an interesting idea, but from the above discussion, I don't see it working. Sounds like I need to give up and get used to the k-turn.
Yeah, this video, while generally positive about the performance of self-parking, says that the Tesla offered to "park" him right into his landscaping.
I can't disagree. My goal in the first place was to avoid the k-turns onto the raised lawn, much less trying to back into my driveway manually. But it just doesn't look like the self-parking feature does anything relevant.
