Summon out of my garage

[alset85d]

So for those of us that have never used this explain how you do it. I've a 90D late 2017 build and used summon to move the car around while standing a few feet away but never tried something while I'm in the house and can't see anything. Please don't tell me you just select summon on your phone and press reverse! That just seems like .... crazy risky. I admit I've heard about this for years but never tried it. Seems like the old videos had folks in the garage watching.

Yes that's what you do or use your fob

Yea, I would never trust summon to work flawlessly, without standing there with my “finger on the button”. I’ve just seen basic summon do too many weird things over the past year I’ve had the car.

That in mind (having to stand by the car), it makes it much more of a party trick than serving any practical function. The only exception to that would be the few times I’ve used it to park the car into a tight spot (hence, not having to open the car door while parked in said tight spot). But, like most, that’s few and far between, as I usually baby the car and park in some remote spot to avoid any potential for a door ding.

My garage is detached from the house so I summon it, it opened the garage door and sends it 30 ft to the front of my kitchen door. It's very practical for me.

If that happens it will be too late even if I'm looking at it.
I've been doing it almost every day now from my bedroom, out of sight twice it didnt work at all, the other 12ish times it was waiting for me

Presumably, If you are watching, you'll see the garage door stop and cancel the summon.

I use the FOB to do the Summoning

How do you do that? I've looked at "Summon" settings in the car and don't see that option. What am I missing?

Hold the unlock bitton till lights lash then trunk to reverse frunk to go forward ... hold button if selected in ap settings

I almost forgot about this feature because sadly we can’t do this in Canada.

Why?

Hold down the middle of the fob till u see the hazards flash then hit the fronk or truck, depending on the direction u want to go.

Why?

I think their are some legal issues regarding summon in Canada. For example, Canadian Tesla’s don’t summon from the fob, we can only summon from our app and it is hit and miss when it works.

Summon is an unreliable piece of crap on both of our Teslas, but fortunately my garage is wide enough to make Summon unnecessary. Of course Enhanced Summon will be coming one of these years. Oh boy, won’t that be swell?

Wow, mine works time and time again. The beauty isnt just for use with small garages, for me it's the convenience of having the car out and ready for me every morning.
Stinks it doesnt work for u

Canadian spec cars can't do it from the fob only the app; something to do with our different immobiliser ??
