2024 TESLA MODEL 3 VISION ONLY PARKING VS ULTRASONIC SENSORS MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

This video pits the 2024 Tesla Model 3's vision-only parking system against the ultrasonic sensors in a 2023 Model Y. The reviewer, Tesla Tom, conducts a series of tests, including front-in and reverse parking, supercharging, and various maneuverability tests like three-point turns and parallel parking. The primary takeaway is that the vision-only system, while functional, is significantly less precise and reliable than the older ultrasonic sensors. The Model 3's parking system often provided inaccurate distance readings, leading to potentially dangerous close calls with obstacles. The reviewer expresses a preference for the ultrasonic sensors, though acknowledges Tesla's software prowess may improve the vision system over time. The Model 3's charging speed and estimated real-world range (around 350-400 km) are also discussed.
