Tesla is probably the WORST at automatic parking. Here’s a comparison against some other competitors.

My own model Y has maybe successfully automatically parked 2/10 times. Most of my friends and coworkers have similarly low success rates.

Lol that's horrendous. I had a Mercedes with automatic parking assist back in 2016 that would do it perfectly 10/10 times, used it all the time too(narrow streets in the UK). What's shown in the video is just hilariously bad.
This is pure comedy, thanks for posting.
I'm surprised the they pulled out an older Tesla and that parked quite well after all the duds.
Old Tesla was using mobileye systems, that powers half of the automotive world. Tesla later started to abuse it, mobileye got angry and they stopped working together. Since then Tesla's tech is in house and in many aspects still behind 10 years old product.
If yo are that bad in parallel parking, you don't pass your drivers test in Germany.
autopilot v1 does pretty well, and it does it entirely via the ultrasonic sensors afaik. I don't know how v2 and v3 work in practical comparison.
