Where Are Tesla's Parking Sensors Located?

Tesla's parking sensors are located on the fenders. Here is some information about Tesla's parking sensors: 1. Cameras: Tesla vehicles come standard with a total of 8 cameras. There is one rearview camera at the back and a triple-camera assembly at the front. There are also two cameras on each side. 2. Side View: Specifically, the installation positions of the side-view cameras are distinctive. The front side-view cameras are mounted on the B-pillars, positioned 1 meter behind the installation points of the rear side-view cameras. The front and rear side-view cameras overlap, ensuring no blind spots. These 4 cameras basically guarantee Tesla's Level 3 autonomous driving functionality. From real-world photos, adjacent lanes are indeed covered without any blind spots.
I recently just got a Tesla Model 3. The parking sensors are those small circular dots on the bumpers, with four positioned evenly at each corner on both the front and rear. While driving, these sensors use ultrasonic waves to detect surrounding objects and automatically sound a warning when getting too close. I remember once when parking in my neighborhood, it helped me avoid scraping a utility pole—super handy. Older models like the Model S had a similar design, but newer versions post-2022 upgraded to the Tesla Vision pure camera system, eliminating physical sensors and relying solely on cameras mounted around the windshield and body. The positions changed, but the functionality remains just as precise. For daily use, make sure to keep the bumpers clean—avoid letting dirt or snow cover them, as it can affect sensitivity. If you bought a used car, the sensors are located at those small dots on the bumpers.
