Why no enhance Summon feature on latest update?

[MrTeaUSA]

I have my car for about a month now, I have couple update software to the latest 2019.1.1. I do purchased the FSD option. I still do not see enhance summon on my phone app. Just the same forward and backward option. Anyone know how to get this feature added on my car?

Three months maybe, definitely six. The feature clearly doesn't work yet, it's not getting pushed to anyone except the EAP folks, and even then I'm not even sure how many updates they are seeing with it.

Elon tweeted awhile back that it's been delayed to make it better.

I’d be happy with ANY Summon that worked, Enhanced or no. Hasn’t worked in 10 months on many releases, still doesn’t on 12.1.1.

The normal basic summon is stopped working for me in the lastest 2019.12.1.1 for me too. Mobile app or keyfob all failed.

Use it every day, but not at 2019.12.1.1 yet...... Surprised to hear that, especially 10months of not working (see SC soon).

old |v2019.8.5|AP2,MCU1,PUP|
new |v2019.8.6|AP2,MCU1,PUP|

I did software QA once and one reason for poor quality software that didn't pass was that the code hadn't been written at all and the developers hadn't figured out how to do it.

My bad, not Enhanced I've been using all along.

Yay, test-driven development done wrong.

Videos have been posted by customers online demonstrating Enhanced Summon - so the software does appear to exist, at least for a few customers, likely in the Early Access program (though by posting the videos online, Tesla could drop them from Early Access - what happens in Fight Club - Stays in Fight Club).

So this isn't the case of software not existing.

What's more likely is that the software isn't ready for wide distribution - they may have found situations where the software didn't perform as expected, which they'll address before sending the feature out to everyone.

The challenge with all of these driver assist and FSD features is handling real-world conditions, which are difficult to simulate. And we shouldn't be surprised if it takes longer than Tesla (Musk) believes to get new features operating well enough to use in the real world...
