What I Found
Tesla Vision can miss very low objects near the front bumper.
One thing I wanted to understand with the Tesla Model Y is how safe the vision-only setup feels in real-world parking situations. Tesla moved away from ultrasonic sensors, and that changes how the car judges what is close to the bumper.
The quick answer is that Tesla Vision can appear to have a blind spot very close to the front bumper, especially around the 12 to 13 inch range and especially with objects that are short or low to the ground.
