Narrative

The Model Y with AutoPilot Plus and Autopark enabled lurched forward and crashed into a wall during parking. Just as important a concern is that the car never made a beep, chirp or any other indication or warning that it ever even realized it was driving into an obstacle. We are certain the collision would not have happened had Tesla not removed ultrasonic sensors from the car because the driver has driven many teslas and even owned a tesla before but all had USS sensors in them.
