I was at the supercharging station in dublin ( california) . When I wanted to take reverse and park my car for supercharging.my car showed the option of autopark. Since there was an open spot available for parking my car (where my car fits properly - as per tesla guidelines) .I started auto parking ,in autopark feature usually the car comes close to the other car and then takes necessary turn.
