What I Found
Tesla replaced ultrasonic parking sensors with a camera-based Vision system on newer Model Y vehicles.
The biggest difference I noticed moving from our older Tesla to the newer Model Y was not the size, the seating position, or the way it drives. It was the missing sonic sensors.
The short version: I do not trust the Vision-only parking distance readings as much as I trusted the older sonic sensor system. When the car tells me there are 12 inches left, I am back to second-guessing it instead of relying on it.
