Smart Summon issues?

Oh good to hear. I have 24.10 on the Y and 24.5 on the X. Both won't summon. I'll look forward to the .10 to do some testing.
They didn't fix it
Its like the cell service doesn't work with smart summon now as the accuracy of where the car is horrible and it still shows the constant warming up

3 firmware updates later and it's still not fixed lol...
 
I think the problem is the new app. I can smart summon with the Tessie app but not the official Tesla app.
Interesting. I'm somewhat in a dilemma with this app thing on my android phone. I located the new app apk and installed on the phone before it was available in the app store. Now that the app store has the official app available, each time I install, I get the old app. There is no option to update after the install to the new app.
 
I realized this weekend that if you summon the car forward or backward just a little bit and pause and give it a moment, it will allow for smart summon.
I'll give that a try. the phone is already on the same screen so it should be a easy transition.
can confirm:
1. Turn off sentry mode on cell phone
2. Smart summon will work finally
I like this idea and will be giving this a try. I miss summon.
 
I've had several different types of Smart Summon failures -- warming up, can't connect, button doesn't appear, and probably a couple of others. I'm going to try some of the suggestions above, but I'm confused as to the software versions. I'm seeing a lot of 2021.24.xx or 2021.25xx. I got 2021.32.10 about a week ago, and Smart Summon isn't working, despite the post that said 24.11 appeared to fix the problem. How could I have a version that's significantly newer than others, yet still have the same failures? I will check my settings to see if the problem lies there and will report any fixes.

Sig block shows my car -- 2018 Model S, FSD, etc.
 
Best I can tell, turning OFF both the Summon Standby *AND* Sentry Mode will allow Smart Summon to work.

It's still a bit glitchy, but it tends to get past the infinite "Warming Up" indicator.

That said, since it's still glitchy, I don't trust it like before. So I'm only using it very infrequently until I know it's properly fixed.
 
Picked up my M3P at Tesla from service. Asked my rep-agent, that since 2021.24.4 (end of August) Smart Summon does not park the car closer or under than 100 cm to my garage wall. Today I am on 2021.31.22. Still the same... Switched on off everything related to Smart Summon... Still not working.

He did not know about this "Summon mode misbehaviour" and asked the "software-specialist" in the Service Center and came back and said: "Tesla had to adapt Summon to follow new rules (in the EU) to protect pedestrians, not getting to close to them, so as it is now, it will stay til the rules change..."

(Since I am in the EU I tend to believe what he said... but in the US? hmmm...)

I use summon twice or even more every day, to move my M3P in and out of a tight parking spot. It worked 99 percent before 2021.24.4.
Now, it stops 100 cm instead of 20 cm in front of the wall.

PS: Today I tried to (summon)park the car to a straight wall, with back and front.
Both front and back multiple tests stopped the car just 100 centimeters (or 39 inches) "shy" of the wall.
Same problem here. No fix after 3 service calls and massive inconvenience. Did you get any satisfaction?
