It's clear owners are not using common sense here...
Some are summoning the car without a clear view of it and others are trying to summon is busy parking areas...
Just a matter of time before Tesla is asked to pull this feature until it gets better...
Didn't see anyone in the TEAP program wrecking their cars during the testing period..
I have been reading for weeks from owners screaming to have this feature only now to see owners screaming that they have wrecked their cars...

See Tesla owners are already doing dumb things with 'Smart Summon' - Electrek
Let’s all try to use some common sense when activating Smart Summon.
I actually tested the function repeatedly in my deserted office parking lot over the weekend. And, like I mentioned, there were no pedestrians or cars in the area that was used for the summon this morning.
This drone video I found the most interesting out of all the videos posted the past few days
Yeah, that is about what I would expect at this point. Good try, the car just got confused and then decided to not do anything. Going to be lots of standoffs in parking lots I think.

I'm going to make one of those videos....
I wonder if there is a driver in that car or not.

Please do. I'd like to see some videos of Smart Summon working well in a couple of real world situations. I think it will be good for the rest of us who aren't having much luck with it so far.

It is crazy that the shorts are making all these videos. Lots of work to edit the driver out of the seat.
Based on the time waste created by this nonsense, I fully expect FSD (when finally released) to camp out in the left lane of the freeway at the speed limit with 20+ cars behind. Just what we needed...autonomous versions of Honda CRV drivers

If you're in a car that's FSDing in this manner, presumably turning on the right turn signal will, depending on whom you ask, either make a safe lane change to the right, or seek out the nearest fire truck.
I increased the summon tolerance settings from 8" to 24".
I'll try again while riding in the drivers seat, as some suggested.
But you know, the whole purpose is that some day you trust it not being in your line of sight. That is the reasonable use of the feature,

From my experience, the first fail is clearly the pedestrians.... The car is confused when seeing them and stops until they clear, which they don't.... As for the 2nd fail, not sure why it tanked other than sensing the approaching car.... but once the car backed away, it should have resumed.....
I had this occur under the TEAP release.... but not since the full release...

This is pretty much what I'd predict will happen all too frequently, it's far too passive. It looks like that's in Florida or at least somewhere warm and friendly. In a typical parking lot in the North East, other cars and people will be less forgiving and just wander in front of it as soon as it stops. In the second example, it could have kept going, but the lack of lane markings probably caused it to stop and wait for the obstacle to be completely removed.
It IS super cool, but not super practical.

Really? The rest of us?
Like these people?
Tesla Model 3 unparks itself and drives to save family from torrential rainstorm
Tesla Smart Summon is life-changing for drivers with mobility problems
Smart Summon: Amazing. Wow. What’s next?!
What if "the rest of us" stopped using SS? How much money would you have lost out on with the purchase of this feature?

Oh...just happen to be a drone passing by a parking lot and noticed a model 3 with no one inside ( view from the top ) and recorded it.....by happenstance.
Really?
Just like with FSD ( autopilot ) back in 2015.... we will just let the nay-sayers simmer down until...….
I was thinking the same thing for the first. Regarding the second, the other car is kinda in the middle of the road as opposed to the right side, which was my thinking on why the car didn’t move. Not sure though.

I believe that Smart Summon will emerge just as EAP did in 2015.
Same complaints about Smart Summon right now as there were in 2015 for EAP.
Just wait....
Question: Do you believe Smart Summon will be the exact same 4 years from now?
How many of you remember EAP in 2015 when it first came out? If so....is Smart Summon as good now as EAP was in 2015?

The owner of the Tesla shot that drone video. He was hoping to get some great smart summon footage from above, but didnt have any luck on his first two tries. He was also going to post the dash cam vid, but scrapped that after the smart summon got stuck. If you find the original source (I think Reddit?) , he was quite active in the thread. Think he did get some good footage in a different parking lot later.
