I bought my M3LR in 2018 and it's been parked outside in Texas since then, subject to birds and trees dropping crap on it, excessively intense sunlight and the occasional threat of baseball sized hail that required me to hunt for a neighbor's unused covered parking. I've tried multiple kinds of car covers and have not liked them for many reasons so I finally bought an Arrow 10x15x17 "carport" to house it. Having had no use for Summon up till now, I've got a couple of questions about it I'm hoping to get some help with here. I want to use Summon if possible because it will give more options about where I can place the carport and because once backing out of a neighbors carport I caught my right rearview mirror on a pillar and I never want to do that again.
First, if I understand correctly, if I want Summons to park my car under the carport when I come home, is it true that I would have to Summon it out of where it's usually parked in order for it to know where to go back to? And, when I get home from a drive, do I have to stop the car pretty close to where Summon "left" it when it backed it out?
Second, unlike a garage where there might be a lot of stuff around for Summon to see, when entering and leaving the carport Summon will only have 4 2" by 2" black vertical poles marking the "sides" of the carport and I'm concerned it might not be able to see them. Thoughts about that welcome. Any suggestions about how I might mark, paint, decorate, or otherwise modify them to make them more visible.
Finally, I know I can Summon it back into the car port by holding down the direction arrow but how about placing something in front of it so it stops automatically?
