I've managed to get autopark and autodrive to work but no luck with the Summon functionality. For a start I find the instructions/UI unintuitive; in the Tesla app I tap on Summon and then get a car icon with "Smart Summon" in the middle of the icon, plus Forward/Reverse below. It tells me to press and hold a direction button to start Summon but when I do it says "Preparing to Summon" but nothing else happens for a while, then after a while I get a message saying "Summon Failed - Please ensure phone key is within range of your vehicle". I've got bluetooth turned on and am maybe 5 metres away from the car. There's a connection between my app and the car because all the other functions (open car etc) work fine. Is it complaining about the fact that my car and the app can't communicate? How are they trying to communicate - via bluetooth? If so as I say that's turned on.When I tap on Smart Summon meanwhile it goes to another screen which seems to show where I am in a circle and where my car is as a red arrow. It's got a button that says "Go to Target"; if I tap and hold that again nothing happens and then after a while I get the same message as above.I guess I've got two questions - why do I have the Forward/Reverse icons but when I tap on Smart Summon I get a different interface? And secondly, why does nothing work - what's stopping my car from communicating with my app (if that's what the problem is?) Thanks for any pointers.</blockquote>
