Summon doesn't work very well for me.

[Achilles]

Hello all. I realize that Summon is a beta feature but I was wondering if anyone has the same issue as me? Parked in the garage, I summon the Li-Ionium Falcon and Homelink activates and open my garage door. Then Summon stops and I have to initiate it again. Is my garage not opening fast enough for it? It works maybe 20% of the time and the other 80% I have to summon multiple times. Doesn't matter if it's the remote or the app or even the Remote S app. Slightly embarassing when trying to show it off. Anyway, 1st world problems, right?

Does it work reliably if the garage door is already open? That would help narrow it down to an issue with the door or not.

Works the same for me as it does for you. Here is a vid with multiple tests:

Just another one of Tesla's features that were released before they are working as good as they should. I haven't found many things on my 2017 MS that work everytime accept the acceleration lol.

Ok, thanks guys. Ya, if the garage door is open, it will work usually. Today it worked just fine using the remote. Opened the door, car came out. Closed the door. Awesome when it works like that.

Mine works pretty well. It comes out of the garage no problem. Driveway is a slope so it only works going into the garage about 50% of the time and I find it easier just to back up. Couple times I have parked tight againts a wall or bush and has helped to pull it out before people getting in.

Mine works just fine, however I have to admit I'm not ready to try it in tight spaces. I haven't done it yet in/out of the garage.

Did you set the clearance to a low value? I think 8" is the tightest but don't recall the default. Mine is set to 8" and works fine in a similar setting. But I don't trust it - always have the fob in my hand ready to stop.

I jump for joy and lol whenever Summon opens my garage door, backs the car out, stops the car and closes the garage door. Usually, however, I experience the same problems you do. While playing around with it I put a small scratch and paint chip on my rear bumper that cost $2,200 to repair. Summon is the feature that I most often brag about, but I now use it with extreme caution.
