2018.24 has Summon for M3?

It looks like WiFi, Summon and Cabin Overheat Protection are now all confirmed for 2018.24. Check out this thread on M3OC: Firmware 2018.24 baf6ebc (6/20/18)

I suspect WiFi and Summon had to go hand in hand. Summon is probably more reliable at home when the Model 3 is connected to WiFi. Perhaps the Model 3 wakes from sleep faster on WiFi when pinged by the app?

I would guess that summon would use the Bluetooth connection - seems more reliable/less lag than WiFi/LTE. I guess I can test once I get summon.
 
Summon is a must for Costco parking, so many impatient drivers waste spaces.
Extra wide parking spaces,

couldn't park between the lines. I had to take a picture
 
Why would I need WiFi? Faster download for software update? Do I care to help save data for Tesla?

  • You may not have good cellular service where you part (at home or work). That makes it difficult to use the Tesla smartphone app to pre-heat or pre-cool the cabin with the HVAC. Turning on wi-fi for internet corrects that.
  • The general consensus is that Tesla gives software updates out quicker to people that park their cars where they have wi-fi service since this could reduce Tesla's cellular data bill a little. Parking somewhere with wi-fi might get you the latest software update a little quicker.

Can’t believe there are no YouTube videos showing summon on a model 3 yet! Starting to believe this is a unicorn.

My 3 is still on 2018.21.9. :(

Per Elon's twitter feed, he's stating the Model 3 software update is rolling out today.

Looks like the S & X crowd got the update pushed a little earlier. Give it another 24 hours and I'm sure there will be something... I'm dying for it too!

I got 2018.24 on the 21st and installed on the 22nd. However, there was an issue with it so I had to revert it back to 2018.21.9 today. 2018.26 is coming soon so I might have to wait even longer for summon.
