Is this for real?

It looks like the front wheel later became locked as well, due to no traction on such slope. It sure is summoned, and the guy's pants too tight. Nobody uses bricks any more?

Can you hear a clock ticking in the background? I think I can and leads me to believe this was not a surveillance camera filmed event.

1. Headlights ignite (summon behavior)
2. Foglights blink (summon behavior)
3. Front wheels roll (summon behavior)
4. Rear wheels locked (not summon behavior - parking brakes on!!!)

DRLs come on (pre-unlock behavior)
Turn signals flash (unlock behavior)
Mirrors unfold (unlock behavior)

This seems to be typical behavior when walking around a Tesla with the key fob in your pocket. This unlock behavior looks identical to all of my experiences with Teslas in and around my driveway. I’ve never had one slide out of the driveway and into a tree, however.

PS: Why is this in the Model 3 forum?

The turn signals don’t blink enough for summon. The double blink that they do in the video is the unlock signal. Summon will blink them 4 times. Also, the parking brakes are electronic... summon won’t operate with the parking brakes engaged... it will disengage them before it moves the car.

Good info.

Because it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Anyone else notice the car now gives a warning when you put it in P, that parking brake isn't set and car may roll

Data point of one: I slid down my (less sloped than that video) driveway at 1/2 MPH yesterday with all four wheels locked. (not a Tesla).

 

[MP3Mike]

and if it is in Summon and losing control, it'll use the brake pads to lock all four in either case.

Do we know that for a fact, or does summon only use the parking brake?

Maybe there is a problem with your car. You should call Tesla.

I can't believe no one has blamed autopilot yet. Maybe the owner of that X will.

What problem would there be? Putting it in park doesn't automatically set the parking brake.

That message likely means that your parking brake has failed. (Or at least one side may have an issue.)

??? That's exactly what putting a Tesla in park does, unless I'm completely confused.

Yes, it is real... a Model X post in the Model 3 sub forum.

It should (from X manual):

When you finish driving, shift into Park by
pressing the button on the end of the gear
selector. The parking brake automatically
engages and all systems keep operating.

Yeah, this is definitely a problem. My 2015 model S had the parking brake calipers replaced after I got this missage once or twice. Putting it in park should engage the parking brake and if it doesn’t then something is wrong.

 

[LCR1]

It engages in park as in it's not rolling but the red P doesn't show up unless I hold the button on the stalk down for a few seconds. It's been like that in every tesla I've owned or driven.
