I agree. It parks very quickly. Mine offered to self park in the garage, so I cautiously let it try. It did it, but boy did it come in hot 🔥! Haha. It’s enough to make your heart skip a beat
I am glad I am not the only one that forgets to close the charging door. One of these days I will be taking it off on the side of the garage as I back out.
EP, another very cool vid, thank you. That is indeed pretty amazing. And that parallel parking can work with some amazingly tight margins. That would make me ... & most people... nervous too. Really sorry to heart about the MI, but glad that is quite some time in the past and you are doing well now. And don't worry, I subbed when I found your channel (well, youtube found your channel for me, lol) and always TU your vids too. I think this channel will continue to grow quite nicely, don't worry... you are a good/likeable guy and your content overall is very good! Happy Holidays!
@@electricprincipal543 Oh wow, you aren't kidding! 😬 I'm really glad to hear it sounds like things have improved a fair bit now w/regard to the stress... and I hope they just keep on getting better too & that you have a great 2023! Keep doing what you love man, it shows in your videos that you are having fun and really enjoying the EV adventure now. Merry Christmas!
Subscribed... Nice video, sorry you didn't make it to your goal by the end of 2023, but you were so close. Hope 2024 also brings great things to you and your channel.
Thanks for making a clear and easy to understand video on this; it's a pretty cool feature! Question - does the car automatically turn on the left or right turn signals before it begins the parking procedure?
Using self park is like handing the keys over to noob driver. I’ve got it on my 23 Pro S Plus and in my experience it will brake hard and suddenly, it feels like it’s hit something. It takes forever and doesn’t instill confidence in its ability.
I can't get mine to park in our garage to save my life. It tries, but I have to stop it before it hits the side every time. Seems like single car doors are too narrow for it to handle.
I've used the self park feature 3 times; the first 2 times, I was hesitant, but the ID4 parked it without any issues. The 3rd time, I had to stop the car and take over. BTW, I was angle parking.
Just subscribed principal Bob, every time I look at your videos, I lean more and more towards the ID 4 I’m trying to trade in my atlas I went to Audi to see about the E Tron q4 I don’t know how I feel about it
Question Bob: I have a 2023 ID.4 PRO AWD. I've found that if there are two spots open right next to each other it doesn't see them. Maybe I've not tested it enough, but does the park assist only identify individual spots that have cars around them?
How do you like your Etron GT? I’m thinking of buying one as a daily driver to replace a different Audi. Did you put all season or winter tires on yours?
I just a brand new id4. And I cannot get this feature to work. Went through Walmart parking lot. I actually seen a car space and another car drove slow. And it didn't pickup the space any ideas?
We have recently taken delivery of our 2023 ID.4. I am trying to get it to remember its garage parking spot but it doesn't seem to want to do it. I save the spot when the car is in the correct spot in the garage, but the next time I try to get it to slowly go into the garage, it quits on me! any advice?
I noticed when the car backed in from the street it appeared to leave more room on the driver's side. Is this by design? Great content btw. I prefer your ID4 videos over some of your competitors ;-)
Subscribed. Two questions: How does it behave when there’s something in “it’s spot”? I assume of course that it doesn’t continue parking but curious what it does do. Also, how is the memory function on curvy driveways? My in laws have a curved driveway that goes up a hill, curious to see how it handles something like that.
Well my 15 y.old car can do that, fully automated. Well not the memory thing, but if the spot still exists the next day, it will just park itself again anyway…
Dave, German made 22s that were shipped to the States do not have park assist. Only in the 23s. I know people who have watched the European models on UA-cam and thought their 22 would have it. Often times, VW gives us new stuff after it is released for a year or two in Europe.
It would help if you showed us the screen when selecting whatever function you are using. My id4 doesn’t have self park and it’s a high spec car. ( not sure which as it’s so damn confusing). You need to try harder to fill your viewers with confidence please. I’m not sure if you have used the self park function much in many ways. What happened at the end? Friendly Dance? Rather bizarre.
Gotta love a self parking car that doesn’t indicate charging door left open 😅
Kyle from Out of Spec sent me here. Subbed for the EV content!

Kyle Conner sent me to your channel. I am glad he did!!
Bob is great the best car salesmen I ever met more like a consultant
Hi Principal Bob, this is Jose from California. I spoke with you earlier today (12/15). Like your video. Keep up with the good information.
I wish there was a Kia dealer guy who did similar UA-cam videos on the EV6 features. Glad Kyle Conner sent me here.

Life was very different for me ten years ago. I weighed 265, worked as a school principal, and took care of my quadriplegic wife. Too much stress!
@@electricprincipal543 Oh wow, you aren't kidding! 😬

1000 subs!!! well deserved! keep it up EP!
Thank you, it helps with my decision to not wait on the Pro S Plus
Thanks for making a clear and easy to understand video on this; it's a pretty cool feature! Question - does the car automatically turn on the left or right turn signals before it begins the parking procedure?
It does!
Glad to help you get over 1000 subscribers.
I am enjoying your UA-cam presentations, but can you tell me if I have park assist in my 2022 German built ID4 Pro S RWD?
Using self park is like handing the keys over to noob driver. I’ve got it on my 23 Pro S Plus and in my experience it will brake hard and suddenly, it feels like it’s hit something. It takes forever and doesn’t instill confidence in its ability.
Awesome! I was wondering how this feature worked. Thx Bob!
I can't get mine to park in our garage to save my life. It tries, but I have to stop it before it hits the side every time. Seems like single car doors are too narrow for it to handle.
I've used the self park feature 3 times; the first 2 times, I was hesitant, but the ID4 parked it without any issues. The 3rd time, I had to stop the car and take over. BTW, I was angle parking.
The issue I had was the car trying to find the correct spot to pull into while angle parking. Glad you had success!
Just subscribed principal Bob, every time I look at your videos, I lean more and more towards the ID 4 I’m trying to trade in my atlas I went to Audi to see about the E Tron q4 I don’t know how I feel about it
Love the E-tron, but he ID.4 is a good value. If you want leather and a superb interface, go for the Audi. Also, not built in the U.S.A.
When can we see an F150 Lightning video?
Question Bob: I have a 2023 ID.4 PRO AWD. I've found that if there are two spots open right next to each other it doesn't see them. Maybe I've not tested it enough, but does the park assist only identify individual spots that have cars around them?
How do you like your Etron GT? I’m thinking of buying one as a daily driver to replace a different Audi. Did you put all season or winter tires on yours?
Does the 2021 ID.4 Pro S have the Self Park Assist?
I just a brand new id4. And I cannot get this feature to work. Went through Walmart parking lot. I actually seen a car space and another car drove slow. And it didn't pickup the space any ideas?
during the auto park procees, if a car is coming will the ID4 see that and stop? or you have to break manually and take over?
You forgot the charging door! Lollll
We have recently taken delivery of our 2023 ID.4. I am trying to get it to remember its garage parking spot but it doesn't seem to want to do it. I save the spot when the car is in the correct spot in the garage, but the next time I try to get it to slowly go into the garage, it quits on me! any advice?
Hey bob by mistake I deleted save parking operation on my 2023 id.4 so how I bring it back ?
I noticed when the car backed in from the street it appeared to leave more room on the driver's side. Is this by design? Great content btw. I prefer your ID4 videos over some of your competitors ;-)
is this feature only in 23 model? I bought a 22 model(made in Germany), but it doesn't have this feature.
I can see why you’re not great at parallel parking haha. Must not be from a city ;)
Love the video though! Keep it up!
Will my Canadian '21 Pro-S (from Germany) get this feature when we get the software update?
It is not just software, The car needs sensors on the right and left rear quarter panels. Thanks for watching!

Brakes go on and it will end the process.
Does it have be parked by itself, before you memorize spot for future memory parking, or you can simply park as usual and then memorize the spot?
another great video !
dose the 2022 id 4 pros awd have park assist ?
Gf just got the pro s. I have to show her this
Great video but why only AWD? as mentionned in your video?I ordered a Pro RWD
All trim levels.
@@electricprincipal543 Thank you for your fast answer.
Well my 15 y.old car can do that, fully automated. Well not the memory thing, but if the spot still exists the next day, it will just park itself again anyway…
Haha. You could park a truck in that spot with closed eyes
funny that vw's in europe have had self parking for 15+ years
I have a 2022 id.4 pro please help? How do you start the park assist? All the video I have seen you guys are already in the process of parking the car
Dave, German made 22s that were shipped to the States do not have park assist. Only in the 23s. I know people who have watched the European models on UA-cam and thought their 22 would have it. Often times, VW gives us new stuff after it is released for a year or two in Europe.
@@electricprincipal543 oh,ok ty keep up the good work.
Does it always have to back in? No turn signal?
You choose the direction of parking on the screen.
It would help if you showed us the screen when selecting whatever function you are using. My id4 doesn’t have self park and it’s a high spec car. ( not sure which as it’s so damn confusing). You need to try harder to fill your viewers with confidence please. I’m not sure if you have used the self park function much in many ways. What happened at the end? Friendly Dance? Rather bizarre.
What a hassle. If you can’t park. You shouldn’t drive.
