Summon in Australia

[Mark E]

I dont have a reception problem, as it cuts out anywhere I give it a go.
But just tried your suggestion, full phone signal, and after 5 goes the most I got before failure was under 3 meters.
Summon is rubbish. Its that simple. Its unreasonable to be blaming government employees because a system designed by tesla is rubbish and isnt fit for purpose.

Make sure that you aren't too close to the front or rear of the car. If it detects you and thinks you are an obstacle it stops. I've used it successfully out of my garage and down a sloping driveway. It applied the brakes to keep the speed very slow.

You appear to be the only one with this problem; I suggest you look elsewhere.

Yes there seems to be a lot of trash talk. Summon is a great feature hobbled by the regulators clueless requirement for it to be app controlled because they’re afraid of accidental fob presses endangering people. I’m confident the cluelessness will be silenced once it’s demonstrated that the feature as designed i.e. fob operated, is effective & safe.

Yes worked out as mentioned in any earlier post that the sensors will pick you up if too close. Since others seem to have it working well, I think mine must have a fault. I'll contact the service centre.

Used summon for the first time yesterday for a practical purpose: as suggested by someone in the US I backed the car to a dry spot after washing it allowing me to get in without damp and dirty shoes

Excellent! Someone else as OCD about washing as me!
(However, I eventually learned to vacuum inside first, wash outside second to avoid this problem...)

In my case I always have to immediately move the car after washing it, so have to get in regardless of cleaning order!
