I'm heading to Costco later today and may try out SS, depending on parking lot business when I go...

Looking at his past tweets - no reason to think he will suddenly popup to tweet a fake accident.
Longs are skeptical of things like this because in the past such things have been fake.But I don’t see any particular reason to doubt this anymore than the average thing — I might see such doubters more likely having ulterior motives like protecting TSLA positions or such, but that would be paranoia.
Tried it today twice in an empty parking lot. Works perfectly and people in the lot were amazed. Very pleased with this version.
But, is it though?
It comes down to perception.
If I get into an accident with a Waymo vehicle because it does some behavior that I didn't predict then I'm going to be mad at Waymo. Obviously the vehicles look and act differently than human driven vehicles.
If I get into an accident in a parking lot with a driverless Tesla then my perception is the car is doing the driving. So once again I'm going to be mad at manufacture of the vehicle if it did something that I felt like contributed to the accident/
If I get into an accident with a Tesla on the freeway my perception is it's the drivers fault regardless of whether AP was engaged or not.
As to whether there is precedence with AP I'm not sure. For precedence to be set the car has to do something a human wouldn't normally due that is both legal, but also unexpected. As far as I know it's pretty frowned upon to brake check someone so false braking isn't exactly innocent. That's the typical contribution that Tesla makes towards an accident.
But, there probably is an example or two that I'm an unaware of.
Smart Summon at Costco in the PNW??? Have you gone insane?
I don't even go to Costco because I fear the parking lot.

I regained my sanity before arriving at Costco and decided to skip the SS test... Originally, I thought a Monday morning would be reasonable, but no...

Best thing about the smart summon ?
Don’t have to see people complain about the website being wrong

Yep. There's several videos like this on YT that shows how good Smart Summon CAN be. It's still obviously not perfect but I'd say it's far better than most folks thought it would be in it's debut moment!
The use cases for it are currently pretty limited. It's great in low key parking lots or situations where there isn't a ton of activity. In busy parking lots (like Costco) it's going to mostly be a nuisance for now.
Tesla has got something they can build on for sure!

Had fun with the advanced summons parlor trick @ Lowe's, picking up some mulch. It didn't disconnect during this summons & the group that was waiting around was impressed. It seems to disconnect more often than desirable..Any ideas why that would be happening when we are both looking at each other & calculating how to get together ;0)
My attempts at "come to me" have been mixed. Car seems to get confused easily and disconnects. I bet it will work better with the pin drop, though, since it has a predetermined route.
No real reason to use this aside from maybe heavy downpours when you are shopping at a grocery store, but it's a smart move from Tesla/Elon to get this out to end users to do the beta testing to collect massive amounts of test data for the eventual robo-taxi goal. Can't pick people up as a robo-taxi if you can't get to the person who summoned the car.

Interesting. I've actually found that the latest V10 software AND the latest version of the Android App (can't speak for iOS) have resulted in MUCH better connectivity than ever before.
I haven't had any disconnects. Maybe try logging out of the app, exiting it fully and then logging back in.

Seconded. Before this update I always had to manually turn off sentry mode before grabbing my door handle or I'd get a recording of myself. That seems to have stopped with V10.

Elon promises an update "in coming weeks" that will make Smart Summon "smooth as silk":
"Several finesse improvements coming to Smart Summon in coming weeks. Will be smooth as silk."
Elon Musk on Twitter
I look forward to this update. Hopefully, Tesla has collected a ton of data from Smart Summon now. Smart Summon definitely needs some improvements.

It was one of the worst series of updates. The “next release” was going to have “silky smooth” driving. What we instead got was months of updates where the car would jerk like an old roller coaster at random times.
I feel like I'm already seeing improvements in the point releases since the original V10 drop.
It's almost getting to the point where I might actually use smart summon in a real scenario instead of just playing with it!
