There are multiple methods of activating their autopark feature. At the time of the crash, the setting that allowed you to activate it using the keyfob as you describe also meant that merely double-tapping the P button in the car would activate autopark and cause the car to start moving forward a few seconds after getting out. This was added in a patch, so unless you paid attention to their release notes you may have missed it.

Wait, did you build your garage for the car? What were you doing before self-parking cars?

I'm not sure why it is, but a lot of 100 year old houses have garages that are just big enough to fit a car in and not be able to open the doors. Car dimensions really haven't grown all that much, the Ford model T was 66 inches wide and most modern sedans are ~70-75 inches.

Maybe they were never intended for cars?

Maybe it was a cost savings thing? Homes that are only 50-75 years old seem to have larger carports instead of garages.

* I answered my own questions. A model T was 66 inches wide but had 8 inch running boards on either side so the crew cabin is closer to 50 inches. The doors, if it had them, would be shorter as well. A model S is 77 inches wide so that's probably 24 inches difference in clearance.

We used to park in the driveway - I have to park inside now to reach the power plug - but I see three benefits

1 my car is nice and clean most of the time now

2 no more gas station dirty hands on the gas pump, I'm OCD umk

3 I get to watch my car pull out of the garage every morning in amazement :)

Not all cars are the same size.

False. Did you watch the video? It proves that you only had to double tap and exit.

Tesla pushed an update that enabled this as a "convenient" shortcut to the more elaborate, safer method you describe. In fact the video author praises it. Seems like a nice handy feature.. At first. Safety-critical design needs more care than this though.

It is True. You have to press in two places on the key. First you have to press and Hold in the middle of the key. Next you have to press either in the Front of the key or the Back of the key. Show me the video? Am I missing something can I simply press in the Front Twice?

The video is linked in the original comment you responded to. You ought to watch it before responding.
