I know that this does not fix the problem but why would you do a smart summon and then leave the car?

Smart Summon is intended as a tool where you can summon the car to yourself at the door of a store or restaurant, get in and drive away. If you summoned the car to yourself and left a dog inside after, that is not using it as intended. There is nothing to fix if used as intended by Tesla.

Total user error.

Let me get this straight... you wanted to show of your dog driving the car? Seriously? DOG MODE MUST BE MANUALLY ENABLED EVERY TIME THE CAR IS PLACED IN PARK.

Please stop doing stupid stuff with smart cars

THIS is how Tesla ends up with bad press. Maybe what Elon should do is DISABLE SUMMON when weight is detected in the seats.

Whilst i agree that the op was careless, this does not mean there is not an issue. 'Used as intended' cannot be wielded to stop your feelings being hurt. There are many features, called safety, that prevent stupid things being done but we still expect them to err on side of safety. Eg. You cannot drive while charging, that's because the it would be a stupid thing to do but you can bet it would happen all the time.

Dog mode should remain enabled until manually disabled.

Humans will always do stupid stuff, it's in our nature.

I disagree. I can imagine a case where you park, enable Dog Mode, get out, realize you should have parked a few feet further back in the space, summon the car backwards, and then walk away.

It would have never occurred to me that Dog Mode would have been disabled.

Simple fix
Disable summon if dog mode is enabled.

I don’t want my dog injured with a spinning steering wheel or sudden stuttering start stops anyway.

I agree, summon is a nice to have. Disabling would bfr reasonable.

Things that are not the same, partial list: "Summon", "Smart Summon". If regular Summon also disables Dog Mode, I would agree that is a design flaw that should be corrected. But as others have pointed out, Smart Summon is meant to bring the car to you so that you can immediately get in and drive away. Dog Mode is irrelevant here.

This is exactly what happened to me. Moved the car a few feet in friends large driveway to let another car move, it didn't occur to me that dog mode would be disabled.

I would like to add to my original post: m
Pardon my ignorance, I was under the impression any summoning is now considered smart summon. That said when I moved my car a few feet it was in the summon screen, backwards and forwards. I did not go into "smart summon".

Isn't it a separate button?

Yes, regular summon disables dog mode!

There's the answer to your "bug fix" request. Disable summing when dog mode is enabled. imagine using summon and your dog sits on the accelerator pedal? People just don't think!

 

[UKNOWINVU2]

We just need a feature that cancels stupid. It would cut down on a lot of these posts.

Seriously, how did you exist in this world before Tesla?

It's stupid that I had to move my car a few feet with dog mode enabled and by doing so it cancels dog mode? I would argue that the stupid thing would have been not to check my cabin temp after doing so knowing that tech isn't perfect. I posted this as a simple FYI to others, just in case!

Enabling the accelerator during summon would be a much bigger bug than cancelling dog mode.

Yes, regular summon disables dog mode!

You should have said that in the first place

While I agree it seems unnecessary for Dog Mode to stay enabled after using Smart Summon I do agree that it should stay enabled after doing a regular Summon.

Sorry, I don't see that as a bug. That is how I would expect it to work.

Dog mode should only disable on a door opening event. No other action can change the presence of a pet in the vehicle.

I don’t think you should be able to summon at all in dog mode or with weight on seats. It would cut down on the stupid videos.

It’s just a matter of time before this feature gets crushed because people continue to act irresponsibly.

If you truly needed to just move it a couple of feet...get back in the car and move it.
