Parking sensor false alarms

Hi all,

I noticed that my car sometimes triggers the parking system in traffic when some hi-end cars as Tesla passing me in a neighboring lane. I was on my way to work an hour ago and another Tesla has passed me on the left lane and parking system has been triggered again and after that showed me an error on dashboard "parking sensor is dirty please see owner's manual" btw my car has been washed last night and all sensors are clean ) After stop and start this error is gone.

Does anyone have these issue before?

I have an appointment at the dealer next week due to broken carplay's USB port (it fell apart a few days ago when I've been pulling the cable out of that) and some cracking clicks when the trunk lid is opening and definitely will ask about parking sensors too.

Overall the car is amazing and I really love it but of course, it has some minor issues as above as any new cars.

It may be some radar interference between MB and Tesla

right, because Tesla is using MB parts, many of them.

But it happened also with some Lexus and Range Rover... Tesla was just as an example )))

All you need is a software update. Go visit the dealer.
