Parking still isn't there in 14.3.5 (the Total Wine hike)

From the Driver’s Seat · Jul 23, 2026 · v14.3.5
Red Tesla Model Y parked alone in an empty row of the Total Wine parking lot, with the store and every other car parked far up by the entrance.
Where the car decided to park at Total Wine. The store is way back there.

Parking is still not very desirable. Every build I keep hoping this is the one that fixes it, and 14.3.5 isn't it either. I pulled into Total Wine, let the car take it, and it put me way out in the middle of the lot with no other cars around me. Not one. Meanwhile there were open spots up close to the door, which is exactly where I would have gone. So I got a walk in whether I wanted one or not. Maybe my Tesla has a scale in it and thinks I need some exercise. To be fair, this is the same weak spot I wrote about back on 14.3.4 at the Verizon store. When the car knows a place it's great, and my driveway at home is perfect every time. A lot it hasn't seen before is still a guess. I'll keep letting it try. I'll also keep parking myself when I'm in a hurry.
