    Is Enhanced Summon available in Canada?

    Hello TMC! Just ordered my Tesla 3 and have already benefited quite a bit from these forums in making my choices. So thanks. For those curious: 3D vs P3D - went with 3D since I'm coming from a Rogue and I'd probably be impressed with even a RWD. So I'll build up to the P3D :). Plus P3D scared...

    Got the M3 LR FSD yesterday, but no Enhanced summon?

    Hi All, I'm really excited to get my car and I liked most of it. However, I don't think my car has enhanced summon. From the app I can just drive forward or reverse but It doesn't allow me to choose a point and navigate there. Does that mean my car has 2.5 HW? or the enhanced summon is not...

    Summon

    I didn't elect to purchase the auto driving option but used it occasionally during the trial period. The car is such a pleasure to drive, I elected not to purchase. I didn't realize that I was going to lose the summon feature when I lost autopilot. I have a tight garage and this feature is...

    Summon Feature Awesomeness

    Just want to share an awesome edge use case experience I had with the summon feature. I drive to a central parking lot then take the bus to work on a daily basis. On a particular day last week I was late and saw the bus starting to leave from the far end of the lot towards me just as I entered...

    Standard AutoPilot needs to switch lanes

    I picked up my Model 3 this passed Saturday and it came with the standard AP. Unfortunately it is missing one feature that should not be a part of FSD and that is the ability to switch lanes when I put on my turn signal. I understand if I want it to suggest lane changes or do them by itself I...

    It’s fun, but the slow speed would irritate other drivers Here is a new set of videos presenting the Tesla Model 3 in Summon Mode (the Enhanced Summon, which enables one to summon the car from one point of the parking lot to another where the driver is located), provided by Going ALL Electric...

    Summon before exiting vehicle doesn't work.

    Hello everyone, just got my new Model 3 two days ago, and I am having problems to have the "summon before exiting vehicle" feature to work. Summon works perfectly if I control it from my phone, but if I want it to start before exiting the vehicle by double-pushing the button on the right lever...

    Watch Tesla Enhanced Summon In Action: Video

    Forget about finding your car, the car will find you. Tesla recently upgraded its Summon feature, which originally enabled one to move the cars forward or backward using the smartphone app, to a new kind of “remote control mode” (a big RC car). The new Advanced Summon makes it possible to turn...

    What happened to 'summon'

    Didn't know whether to post this in Driving Dynamics or here in UI. Picked here. I originally ordered & 6 mos ago received my LR AWD M3 without autopilot. Several weeks ago I successfully tested the basic summon & was able to move the car in and out of my garage with no issues using it. A few...

    Volunteers needed for New Video Project on Tesla Summon

    Hello, I'm looking to do a video project to share with various social media communities (YouTube, Facebook, reedit, and prominent EV blogs) to raise awareness on the deficiencies in Tesla features for customers outside the United States vs those inside. The project is meant to be light hearted...

    Summon pulls in and then veers to try and center

    I have a 3 car garage with a 2 car and 1 car doors. I use summon to pull my M3 into the 1 car door. This one car door has a wall close on the driver's side, which is why I use summon. This is also the side my wall connector is on. The passenger side opens to the rest of the garage. My problem is...

    Finicky Summon...

    So I'm doing the EAP trial and the feature I like the most is summon because I park two cars in my garage, and it's tight. I often have to play tetris in the morning to get to my model 3. But lo and behold, the trial came. Now I can pull my car out without having to move my wife's car. Awesome...

    Model 3 summon in Canada

    Hi there, First post here on the forum and proud 'co-owner' (wife's car) of a new Model 3. We were somewhat disappointed to learn that creep is not available here in Canada due to the lack of a standalone key fob (otherwise absolutely amazing car). With the most recent software update, I...

    Parking Lot Summon - Our Vehicles compared to Ants in search of Food

    Anyone else notice these patterns in public parking lots? (I'm on AP 2.5, V42.4, Model 3 in Chandler). Now compare same location on Google maps... Notice upper right showing construction. Got me thinking, how will the car respond? I assume it will prioritize paths where it won't need to...

    Summon via Key Fob outside USA (in Canada)

    There was an article (see link below) that stated Consumer Reports review of the Tesla Summon feature lead Tesla to release a “dead man’s switch” update shortly after. However, many customers expressed their frustrations online, saying the removed ability to summon via key fob severely...

    Musk: Tesla working on new Summon that uses all AP cameras

    This is exciting: It makes sense. Now that V9 is using all 8 cameras, it would stand to reason that Summon should start using them as well. I would surmise that this new Summon in the works is the "Smart Summon" promised on the website where summon can move your car around bends. With the use...

    Trying to Understand Summon + Homelink

    Hi all, Just got a S75D and trying to figure out the subtleties of summon + homelink. The question I have is about what determines whether or not the car tries to close the garage door after pulling in and parking. Like many folks, I have a relatively tight fit in the garage, and...

    Summon: Connection Weirdness?

    Disclaimer: I know summon is in beta, so let’s avoid the “it’s in beta” responses please :) I’ve noticed on multiple occasions that the summon feature will work the first few times with the app, but after those few times (~1-5), the app will randomly stop being able to connect to the car, no...

    Homelink w/Summon & Auto-open/close - is new opener necessary?

    I've got Homelink setup on my garage door and it works fine from my car's touchscreen to manually open/close. I've got summon setup and it works fine from my app. I've updated to both the latest App and the car's software. I've heard that I should be able to control Homelink from my app, but...

    Careful with Summon....update needed?!?

    Today I used summon to pull out of a tight parking spot, in which the front wheels were in a gutter with an angle into the curb in the front. When I went to summon in reverse, it’s as if the car was in “neutral” first and rolled forward all the way until it hit the curb before it decided to go...

    Summon cancelled when hand over proximity sensor...

    I was playing with Summon, and it works great, though I got an error message. It said Summon cancelled due to hand being over proximity sensor on phone. This confuses me a bit. I understand the car is linked to the phone but I don’t understand the bit about a proximity sensor.

    Front Bumper Sensor Damage by a Rock Chip Park Assist Unavailable/Disabled

    This morning I noticed the following message in my 2017 Model S. “Park Assist Disabled” and then sometimes changes to “Park Assist Unavailable”. I called the SC, they said they would look into it and get back to me. After a few hours I didn’t hear back from them, so I looked over all my front...

    Summon, snow and a narrow garage PSA

    This was a first for me, and I don't recall ever seeing anyone having this issue. After driving home last Saturday in a heavy, wet snow storm with large clingy flakes, I manually parked in my garage, offset to one side so I could open the door enough to exit. Normally I just use summon to pull...

    AutoDon'tPark

    I've finally cleared out the garage enough to try autopark and summon. Got homelink set up - great! But the car won't park itself in the garage. The driveway is on a slope, up to the garage - I've seen reference to that confusing the sensors, like it can't see the ground in front of it, maybe...

    How to get Summon to stay straight

    I park horizontally alongside my garage because my X is too big to fit inside. I leave about an 18 inch gap between the garage door and the side of my X. The other side of the car is an alleyway. I use Summon to back up the X so I can drive my other car out of the garage. This works great --...

    Just for fun I went back

    I’m a relatively new owner who is a regular here on tmc. Lately there has been so much controversy over autopilot and what the video and Elon promised it would be, that I went back to watch old videos for fun. I’ve discovered that this is not unique. I found videos on supercharging and the...

    Summon Failed (from app) - Key Fob Battery Too Low

    I started getting an error yesterday that my Key Fob battery is low. This is preventing me from not only summoning from the Key Fob, but also from the Phone App; and it is also preventing me from using AutoPark via double tapping Park button. I pulled both batteries out of both Key Fobs, and...

    "Snake" Charger ready soon?

    With summon back again and supposedly some more advanced levels of EAP and FSD coming by the end of the year... are we getting a snake charger soon? In order to do the fully autonomous trip across country demo they'll need to install some at superchargers. I'd love to have one in my garage...

This same thing happened four times as i attempted to park the...

    Summon malfunction

    I've been using the Summon feature via the remote iPhone app for several months to back out of my snug garage and I love it. It's generally worked well, although frequently it won't connect to the car via the app and/or aborts midway through the Summon, which was pretty easy to remedy...

    I took delivery of Model S 75D on Friday, September 9. On Tuesday this week somebody came to my office to inform me that my car had moved to the middle of the parking lot blocking the exit. Of course I quickly went to the car and parked it properly. From Tesla service I found that my Phone App...

    Summon and Homelink question

    Hello everyone, I like the fact summon opens the garage door automatically when the car gets out of the garage, but I don't want summon to close it once the car has been taken out. Is there a way to avoid that? Thank you in advance to anyone!
