It’s listed as Remote S for Tesla. I tried Summon with Remote S and it returned an error stating “Command failed - unavailable”
Looking at the car while Summon is in progress, it’s obviously making some fairly rigorous steering adjustments so while it’s probably not going to negotiate a curved driveway yet, it seems to be lining the car up for an optimal pathway into the garage. Regardless, my driveway is so narrow and the Model S is such a behemoth that I’m still going to have to demolish & rebuild a low garden wall to get it inside the garage.
ZTrekus - I totally agree - I was about to say much the same.
Just finished emailing the developer. He says because we don't have the in car setting to turn off "Continuous Press", his app won't work. That is due to the extra restrictions placed on Summon in Australia. It is a great app, faster and more detailed than the official Tesla app. Allows Summon without you being anywhere near the car. Also has Apple Watch integration which works brilliantly.
But once he finds out how to make it work, he will update his app.
I agree with all of your comments regarding improvements to Summon. Ideally, we really need it to just work directly off the key fob without the phone. Of course it can still be an option. But it takes so long to try and open the app, then establish connection with the car then like said above when you loose a connection it is really annoying. It would be perfectly safe with the key fob, a direct connection to the car, no lag. Just make it that the button needs to be continuously held down.
Nevertheless, we are all very appreciative that Tesla has rolled out this feature to us. I remember the negative comments we all had when it originally came out in the US and not here. Kudos to Tesla. On a side note, my steering alignment was off in my car. I emailed Tesla Support and they replied within 5 minutes and put me on to a technician in Sydney. He has since helped resolve the issue by suggesting a wheel and steering alignment but I thought wow you cannot get this support anywhere else. They gave me his direct mobile and I can contact him at any time. I've been waiting two weeks for Logitech to get back to me on fixing a set of brand new headphones I bought off them.
