In fairness, from my understanding, that was required by EU regulations. Tesla had nothing to do with it.
Yes,the corrupt EU can always find up new rules.
Like: make noise so fossil cars have no disadvantage there.
But Tesla, does not need to use updates for evil, no other car manufacturers ever need to instantly apply new, stupid, rules to all already existing, cars, if they were ok at the time of sale.
Next year the lobbyist club (EU) wants all EVs to make noise, maybe Tesla will force this crap on us by automatically rolling down the windows on bars without external speakers and play loud diesel engine sound to satisfy that BS?
Software updates should not be used for evil, to harm existing customers.
I always liked the updates, now I realize that the crappy, outdated car industry can destroy all my precious Tesla features, like add crazy nagging, and Tesla is willing to instantly execute it.
Tesla is not loyal to the customer.
I always wanted to try but is it possible to stay inside the car or is it easy to stop it since you need to disable
the regular 'always pressing' summon control.
It would be nice if the car could send an image of the location to park, like in the case of the Auto Park.
I can’t get it working on my wife’s S.
I might have been a little confused, I was thinking about the "Auto Park", for which I wonder how much control you might have?I have mine set where you have to remain pressing the button on the phone to use summon.
For smart summon, I dont think you have a choice/believe that it requires you to constantly press the button or it aborts
wanted to share a recent (today) incident (of sorts) that I had with Smart Summon.
Car was parked in a parking spot with passenger side next to a curb. Car was parked with maybe 7 inches of space between curb itself and the wheels. There was a Vehicle parked behind my model S (2017) and no vehicle in front. (Front of my car was facing open lane of the parking lot as I had backed into the spot earlier in the morning.
I summoned the car to come to me. (I was about 100 feet from the front passenger side of the car). The car first started to back up a bit, then stopped. I noticed the wheels turning a bit as the car exited the parking spot (moving forward) and then it started to turn to the right but before the rear passenger wheel had cleared the parking space. My Car ended up driving up onto the curb. (Rear wheel up on the curb). I was VERY lucky as the one week old 21" Arachnids somehow amazingly did not get curbed. Tire was cosmetically scuffed, but wheel itself totally fine.
Uncertain why this happened as I've smart summoned successfully out of parking spots before with zero issues.
Well, there is a reason why Tesla refers to it as beta. Just glad no damage was done.
MCU1/AP2.0 (if it matters)
I think I know the issue in your situation. I suspect you only had 1 adjacent park car on left side and an open curb on the other. Thus the car did not believe that was any obstruction to the right and drove over it. This is because our cars cannot recognize curbs and parking lanes yet. To accomplish Smart Summon in most parking lots, Tesla currently relies on OpenStreetMap. I've noticed my car behaving MUCH MUCH better when I program in the parking lots but when its missing, its relying entirely on its sensors alone which continue to be very developing field.
Our Tesla's are only very good at recognizing other cars and certain types of objects (traffic cones & trash cans for example lol). You can see that is how AutoPark works presently by relying on identifying 2 adjacent parked cars and the spot inbetween as an open parking spot. The car does NOT use lane lines to identify a parking spot but only the presence of adjacent cars. Until the cameras learn to see curb's and parking lanes, this will remain an issue. I suspect they will tackle this problem as they try to conduct Smart AutoPark which would HAVE to start to recognize lane lines and curbs.
