I don't think it was a difficult park. Any reasonably competent human driver would be able to park there easily with the standard aids. The car also did not perform a repositioning after reversing into the bay to correct the position relative to the parking bay lines. That's what a human would do - well at least some. Yes I know, some would think the final position is acceptable.
If a human left the car like that I would give it a C.
I think that is the disconnect that happens in a lot of these discussions. On the one hand "Holy moley, look at the robot parking itself!". On the other hand "There is no way I would consider that a good job of parking a car. It was slow and inaccurate and I would be worried to trust it to park without damaging something."
It is ok to be impressed by how far the technology has come without thinking it is sufficient for the task at hand.
If you have a look on YouTube where there are people trying to park cars in very simple places and failing miserably including damaging other cars, the Tesla autonomous parking is really good in comparison.
Just visit any metro carpark and you might see some examples, mine is a shocker! That’s why I don’t park my car there
There are also examples of people trialling FSD doing full trips including parking which looks really good too.
I’d say it’s pretty amazing, perfectly imperfect and is probably better than most (not all) humans
Taking the “I” out of the equation helps as ones persons standard is different to others so to say that something isn’t “good enough for me” shouldn’t right it off as it might be next level for the next person, whether they don’t have as good parking skills or they are living with a mobility or other challenges.
For them, to be able to get out of the house far out weighs an extra 30 seconds for the car to park itself, or be a cm left or right.
I agree, damaging other cars has to be prevented but I haven’t seen that happen in these videos (which doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, it just hasn’t been posted haha)
Exactly, and the last thing I want is to pay $$,$$$ for something that does the same, only for me to have to make the final adjustment.
If I have to do it I'll keep the $$,$$$ thanks.
Usually this is caused by something called hyperbole. Critical thinking goes out the window when hyperbole abounds
Replace the human with something better?. Sure. But asking the human to spend $$,$$$ on something that does not surpass human ability while also requiring said human to supervise it and be prepared to immediately take over?. No.
You also only seem to get speed camera warnings on the 3/Y and the refresh S and X, i.e. on S and X not available in Australia.
Because the S and X are the last cars you'll ever need to buy, to quote Elon.

I think the danger is someone with mobility challenges starts to think that an FSD tesla is an autonomous tesla. Further someone with such challenges in Australia would usually have a disabled tag for their car and get a 3.5m wide car space.If you have a look on YouTube where there are people trying to park cars in very simple places and failing miserably including damaging other cars, the Tesla autonomous parking is really good in comparison.

This is exactly how I think, yes, its impressive, yet totally useless at the same time. Better use of Tesla resources to me is expanding their market making excellent EVs. Self parking cars don't help any much at all. This is also why I see money spent on the development of the Cybertruck and Roadster also distractions from more Superchargers and Model "2" Development.
Maybe in time it can find them a 3.5m wide car space
The self driving then parking at the end of this was pretty good
I think Tesla should make Wall connector monetisable with a profit sharing model with the owner.
Either through the Tesla App or contactless payment functionality.
This IMV will incentivise destination charging.

They already do.

Stated minimum is 6 wall chargers, but there are some installs in Aus smaller than this
Commercial Charging | Tesla
Tesla Wall Connectors instantly upgrade any commercial property by providing convenient charging to tenants and guests.

Other brands do that level of 90 degree self parking. Good that tesla has caught up.Maybe in time it can find them a 3.5m wide car space

Yeah my Calais was awesome at it, you could tell it 90deg or parallel on either side of the car. Nailed it every time.
I was a bit confused when looking at the model 3 that it didn’t do that.. I thought the demo car I drove had parking but I guess maybe they trick them up?
So you are saying tesla has caught up to an Adelaide made holden?

Mine's always had it, but it's a 2023 with USS.
The non-USS vehicles don't have it - yet. They didn't have it in the US either until very recently, so hopefully you'll get it soon (although I think only as part of EAP or FSD).
