A funny thing happened this morning as I prepared to leave for work...
My Tesla would not pull itself out of the garage.
Every evening since receiving the car March 25th I have used summon to back the car into the garage. Every morning I use summon to have the car pull out of the garage so I can get into it and drive. Clearances are set to "tight" since the garage is rather cramped.
Last night the car backed into the garage as it usually does. It stopped where it usually does. The car was an inch or two further to the right than it usually is, but that was no big deal; it still cleared the doorframe by several inches.
This morning I went out to the garage, unplugged, opened the bay door (the garage has no opener) and, using the fob, directed the Tesla to pull out. It move a few feet, and when the rear-most ultrasonic sensor on the front bumper (right hand side, just forward of the wheel well) was even with the doorframe, the car stopped.
Ok, no problem. Often the car requires two or three summon triggers to fully park or fully exit. I activated summon again and told the car to pull forward (hit the frunk button on the fob). The car thought for a few seconds, then shut off summon without moving. Tried again; same result. Hmmm.
Stuck in the garage?
I did not try having the car back in and move forward again.
There was enough room on the driver's side that I could squeeze into the driver's seat. Maybe I could pull forward manually (horrors!). Only problem - the mirrors are unfolded, and the right one would certainly hit the doorframe.
Is there a way to move the car manually with the mirrors folded?
I turned creep mode on, then put the car into drive. The display said "STOP" and showed a bright red line very near the outline of the car at the aforementioned sensor, and one a bit farther away for the left one. But the car did creep forward, and the sensor lines faded out.
Now I had a new problem. I couldn't get out of the car where it was now located, and the mirror still would not clear the doorframe. I put the car in park and hit the summon on the fob again. I had no idea if summon would function with someone sitting in the driver's seat. Fortunately it did. The mirrors folded and the car pulled itself on out of the garage. The sensors readings from the rear of the car did not cause summon to stop.
It took me over ten minutes, but I was able to extricate the car from the garage.
It seems strange, though - the car backed in fine, then balked at pulling back out, even though the space and portal configuration were unchanged.
Looks like summon needs a bit more development...
