Well I got a little too confident with the whole fsd parking in my garage.
spent the day with my son on errands and watching the truck go and park for us. It took us home and instead of pulling into the driveway it turned around to back in… we watched in amazement as it slowly backed up … then boom… contact with my house.
and as it made contact it maintained backwards pressure as I hit the brake. So I pulled forward and to my disappointment the truck made contact rear left corner with the garage pillar and fascia.
so a few notes:
- yes I was overconfident in fsd.
- when the truck backed into the garagethe side mirrors folded back so I didn’t have the side mirror view but the pillar cameras were working. (as they do when I park head in first)
- damage to back quarter panel, wrap, rear bumper and facia.
I’ll fix the wrap easily but the bumper looks slightly chewed up.
I feel your pain!!! At least yours was FSD. Mine was me pulling out of driveway. It cost me $2500 from Tesla because they had to replace the qrt panel and redo the wrap!! I hit it so hard it bent the panel.
After alarming grinding noises on an icy morning, my mirrors are off auto-fold for the season. YMMV.
When you first use FSD, it tells you it will do the worst thing at the worst time and to always pay attention.
We are officially bros. My CT, Hideo, also has a very minor scratch on the same side and same place as you. It was my mistake though. I was trying to climb a steep driveway without turning on off-road / Slippery mode in deep snow, my truck slipped and the rear grinded against the retaining wall. Mine was minor, therefore I think of it as a battle-wound / scar - kinda makes it look badass. In your case, let me know what you end up doing - I'm pretty sure it should be able to be buffed out? I'm curious how one would go about patching this without requesting SC to replace the whole panel.Well I got a little too confident with the whole fsd parking in my garage.

also for future reference, in this case you would not want to cut the wheel when pulling away as that only makes it dig harder into the object of impact (due to the departure angle), making it worse.
It would be beneficial for you to read all of the terms of service for using FSD. It explicitly states that you are still responsible for the safe operation of your vehicle.
Yes I picked up on that after I pulled it off the house. I turned the wheel because it was pressed into the house. But I agree, turning the wheel on separating the CT from my house facia contributed to damage. I should have taken a photo before I moved it.
