Summon mode not available

[Stampee]

Hi all. I have no summon button, and no way to turn it on in the car display. I have a model 3 rwd. refresh. Dec 21, 2020. I have auto pilot, not enhanced or FSD. Do i need FSD for summon? I cant figure it out. The owners manual just states how to enable and use it, nothing else.
Thank you.

Yes you need enhanced autopilot or FSD.

 

[RonB]

Yes, you need FSD to utilize summon.

Feature set for these two features, directly from tesla. You can clearly see that any form of summon is in the "full self driving" category. Note that if you could get enhanced autopilot its also included in that, but thats not currently sold.

Tesla hasn't always been consistent with these options. At least three of them (Auto Park, Auto* Lane Change and Summon) were included with standard Autopilot (AP1) in 2014-2016. Prior to Model 3 release of course.

The only thing I would miss from my AP1 Model S P85D to now is the original Summon (sometimes referred to as "Dumb Summon".) It was useful for rolling the car enough to get valve stems at the top when adding air to the tires or checking tire pressure, so I wouldn't have to bend over so far.

I dont quite understand this reply, actually. All I did was google "Tesla Autopilot vs FSD" and its the first hit. I then copied the relevant part so you could see exactly what features were included and which ones were not, and provided a link as well as a screenshot so you could see where I got the data.

What, exactly are you complaining about that I did? Find the information on Tesla.com?

Stampee - You're not missing much with summon. The odds of it working correctly is 50-50. You can't depend on it other than showing someone how the car comes to you, then fails and you look silly.

I have no idea what features are locked behind needing to get updated from a factory firmware to one of the current branches, but you may need to wait until you receive a software update to use the feature.
