TESLA VISION PARK ASSIST WITH HW4 ON NEW 2024 MODEL 3 REFRESH HIGHLAND VS HW3 VS PARKING SENSORS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer evaluates Tesla's Vision Park Assist on the 2024 Model 3 Highland with Hardware 4, comparing it to older models with and without ultrasonic sensors. The system is found to be significantly improved, performing well in car parks and accurately visualizing parking spaces and curb edges. The reviewer notes that while it generally performs as well as, or better than, older systems, it can still be tricked by small, low-lying objects at the front, such as a hose reel, which it sometimes fails to detect reliably. However, for most common parking scenarios, the system is deemed effective and no longer a significant disadvantage compared to cars with traditional parking sensors. The reviewer concludes that the Vision Park Assist is a capable system, especially with the latest hardware and software updates, and is not a reason to avoid purchasing a new Model 3.
