Smart Summon is SHOCKING... is it a Scam?! - Tesla Model 3 V11 Update 2023 

Would be nice if it would work at all. As per video, even sitting in the car it is crap.

Honestly I haven’t seen many good examples even in the US that isn’t in some super setup or favorable scenario… the distance part makes it 100% useless but even say in the car it can’t figure it out. Such a shame.

Agreed, however smart summon picked me up through the drop of line at my school with my cousin's model x perfectly. Must just be luck.@@TeslaDriver

UK is not in EU

It’s not the EU that regulates this! It is UNECE (part of United Nations).

Atm tesla slaps EAP on used certified cars sold on its website so it is unlikely tesla to remove such marketing tool as EAP.

​@@tatata1543Tesla was a leader in ADAS at the time when Mercedes did not even have a compelling EV. The EU rule probably slowed the autopilot development in EU just enough for competition to catch up as the gap was in years not decades so lobbying theory has some merit

Still EU has most anoying law that will be from jun 2024 but even now is implement in new cars,its that line keep and speed warning are default ON when you start a car EVERY TIME. I drived few new cars and is crazy annoying and to turn it off you got to navigate in menus in touch screen EVERY Time. So i dont thing i want new car in EU any more

Thank you! Hopefully positive update videos soon… 😅

Same over here, I can tell if a corner is too tight and have to rapidly reduce the speed manually otherwise it goes over the line and panics :/

I believe this is stipulated by the eu. Legislators need to catch up with the technology. In the usa they are using fsd with neural nets, which is superb. In Europe we are still using c++ coded autopiot/fsd. Hopefully it will be in Europe next year and you'll see a massive improvement.

Wait is this a real thing?! Never heard of it, so double tap park on the end of the stalk and choose a direction? Will see and let you know

@@TeslaDriver Yeah neither had I until a few weeks ago when another youtuber I watch in the states demonstrated it. I've not had the bottle to try it on mine yet in case it drives into a wall.

I took it to the highest point I could Tesla UK and they said it’s in the terms and conditions and they wouldn’t make any acceptions… even for referring over 100 cars, I was beyond pissed off

@@TeslaDriver wondering what condition exactly did you break? Honest describing? I bought a Tesla based on your honesty, to be honest

Exactly. EU is not regulating this - UNECE is.

Both are Europe based so easier to say EU rule, but yes full rule is a United Nations Economic Commission for Europe rule…

I’m embarrassed to use it truth be told 🫣

@@TeslaDriverThe worst part is when you take your finger off the forward button and it drives another 3 metres before stopping!

Either it won’t connect or if there’s anything in its path (even a good 10-20m away) it just says nope 😅

Had them replaced last month 😬

@@TeslaDriver fair enough 😂😂😂. Yeah I’d schedule another mobile appointment to see what else needs swapping

Please elaborate, smart summon and summon is used only via your phone so I’m not sure what you are talking about?? If your talking about normal auto park then yes you don’t use your phone for that (I’m not showing that in this video this is only about summon) but under the smart summon information it says it can park itself via smart summon aswell as un-park. Which instructions are you talking about or link me the RU-vid video that your talking about but I’m pretty sure your confusing standard auto park with smart summon 👍🏽

Yes and no… the most simple feature of going back and forth for example should work every time flawlessly as it’s very simple but sadly even that is 50/50 whether it will work properly. Like in the demonstration at the end of the video where it hits a curb and continues to reverse a few seconds after I have let go of the button. But the restrictions to distance is defo the regulators fault, however they seem to have done it for the correct reason as when I use the feature even in the vehicle it isn’t able to do the most simple of task…

@@TeslaDriver "Restriction to distance is defo the regulators fault" but the regulators need to be convinced something is safe before they allow it. I have never seen the summoned feature work flawlessly in the UK or US it is experimental. It has been promising rather than good and "promising" should not acceptable on public roads. The regulators don't have an interest in the car manufactures testing their wares out on the public road so therefore will and should restrict them until they can be convinced that they are safe. In this case they seem to be correct because any manufacturer should be ashamed of releasing this system and charging for it because it clearly does not work. If it is "because" of them having to use blutooth, or the the regulations that is no excuse. I am impressed at the advances that have been made in autonomous driving, but they are still nowhere near level 3 let alone level 5. It's lack of ability to adjust for snow and ice for example. If they keep developing they will get there but probably not for another couple of years. In the meantime regulations ensure the safety of non-Tesla customers who are not signed up members of the experiment. It is not much different to the drone regulations where unless there is line of sight a special license is required. Maybe try combining a drone with the summon feature, and have the drone guide the car? It is strange though that the summon feature works so poorly as is it not just a by-product of the self-driving, the same thing but with the driver outside the vehicle?

Rule 1 of robotics, the thief would just have to stand infront of it and that’s checkmate 😂

He’s seen other videos of mine and commented, never one showing something that isn’t working as advertised though 🤔

No doubt he sees all these videos, also the gazillion ones about the wipers that have gotten worse over time. He doesn't care as long as sales are high. Sad.

Btw, in have an S100D with HW3. I really miss the times the features were actually useful. Yes, we had Phantom brakes but at least we had somewhat working features....

What I also hate is that it very often turns the wheels while standing still... Yeah... Complete shiiit

I'm pretty sure here outside US we are at a insanely old version stack that isn't developed at all and only receives further restrictions when EU wants and Tesla doing the minimal to comply because it absolutely does not have their priority

Btw, smart summon never parks. Also not in the US

Yeh this is a feature I’d actually use if it worked like advertised… I can imagine in a S it being a lot tougher with the extra size of the car. The wheels turning while still also kills me inside!

It was touch and go for a bit, o thought it was going to give me a lil kiss! 😂
