Tesla expands 'Blind Spot Warning While Parked' to more models
Tesla is expanding the 'Blind Spot Warning While Parked' safety feature to more vehicles in its fleet, including the Juniper Model Y, and 2021 or newer Model S and Model X, via software update 2026.20.3. This feature prevents 'dooring' accidents by electronically locking the door if an object or person is detected in the blind spot, providing visual and audible alerts. Initially exclusive to the Highland Model 3 and later the Cybertruck, nearly all recent Tesla models now have this active protection, which can be disabled in the safety menu.
- Feature available on Juniper Model Y, 2021+ Model S and Model X with update 2026.20.3
- Electronic door lock and visual/audible alerts prevent 'dooring' incidents
🔎 Why it matters: Version 2026.20.3 expands Blind Spot Warning While Parked to more models, enhancing door-opening accident prevention.
📈 Upside: Improves safety by preventing door opening when objects are in the blind spot.
📉 Risk: The feature only covers the front two doors, leaving rear doors unprotected.
