I was so happy when I found this post last night. Cannot wait to receive it and try it out!
Does anyone know if it is actually "illegal" to use it on public property and could you see the police giving you a fine if you were autonomously pulling your car out of a parking lot and they happened to be standing there? :redface:

This is one my daughter took for her kid channel. It's really awesome. Gone are the days where I get in, roll forward, get out, open boot, put stuff in, then head off.
Instead I can summon it in and out. It parks a perfect 50cm from my rear wall (as requested), better than I can and enough room to easily access my basement door.
Very excited. I hope they relax a few of the restrictions, but this is a great, practical start.

I attempt to resist door dings wherever possible....personally I would want to have the car much closer to the column on the drives side.....no to close that the car on the other side would become an issue but much closer that putting the car dead centre.
Good job and thanks on the video though.
Any chance you can set the side to narrow/tight and see if it parks closer to the column on the drivers side?

Most carparks are private property. Streetside parking is generally public property. Even then they have to find something to fine you for, and if you arent being reckless, are showing due care, and its not dangerous, then I don't know what they will ping you for.

Bit of a stretch of the truth there implying the door automatically raising, unless 7.1.1 includes that of course.

Something I just through of...will summon open a gate/garage door yet? This really needs to be addressed to get the most of summon.

No, would need Homelink, which we don't have here. Not a lot of point anyway, as when in garage it would usually be plugged in anyway. 7 were just using some US footage.

Given that Tesla got Summon approved, surely a web browser whilst in park should be easy?
Hear hear. Web browser and Homelink please.

Don't get me started on Homelink. It is still under active review for us I believe, but I have heard nothing about it for a month. Also, 3 phase wall connectors are due this month. Only a year late! Not that I have any update here either. Just what I was told. But then, I was told February as well!!??

Two weeks ago I was told March/April for the 3 phase chargers. Apparently they prioritised China. So I would read that as late April if we are lucky.
This could be useful to solve the plugging in issue.
Tesla Model S will get wireless charging option in April

I want Homelink in order to get rid of the additional dongle. It just clutters up the car for no really good reason.
