Elon Musk Says 'Really Cool' Updates For Tesla Drivers Coming This Month And Next

Elon Musk on Monday teased new updates for Tesla drivers this month as well as the next.

What Happened: “Really cool stuff coming both this month and next,” Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter. The CEO was responding to a Model Y driver who said in a post that they missed using the car’s auto park feature.

Autopark is a feature used to park the vehicle in either perpendicular or parallel parking spaces with the help of cameras and sensors. However, in late 2022 and 2023, Tesla removed the ultrasonic sensors on different models, thereby removing the feature.

The company then said that the feature would be brought back with a future software update when the company can enable them with no sensors but only cameras.

Why It Matters: “This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles manufactured as of approximately mid-February 2024,” Tesla’s owner manual for the Model Y reads as of the time of publishing this story.

Whether the return of the autopark feature, without the help of sensors, is part of the “really cool stuff” touted by Musk remains unclear.
