Summon: "This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles manufactured as of approximately September 2023." - Tesla www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/mo...
At 1:19 Summon hit the curb? Seriously? After 4 years in beta, and 8 cameras, AI and Neural Nets. It Still cannot handle super simple driving in an empty parking Lot ?
So disappointing. I think the Summon feature just never got reworked to use the neural net AI like FSD and it shows. I truly hope they can make this "Banish" mode happen. I would love to let it go find it's own parking spot, but that will take a a huge amount of work.
It's pretty terrible. When I first got the car, I thought it was a cool party trick because I got it to pull into my garage two times. But when I was showing a friend, it drove right across my lawn for no reason, and that was over a year ago.
If another driver parks to close to your driver side door and you cannot get into the car on that side, then this feature could back the car out for you so that you can get into your car. Same for garages if the driver side is to closed to the wall. The older models had sensors to this feature, but in the new 2024 models those sensors are gone. I don't see this feature available in my Model 3 Highland. (2024)
Non-Tesla driver here. Why is this a feature if it’s undercooked? I get the whole Tesla mantra of beta testing / guinea pigs in the hopes of continual OTA software improvements. However, this seems pretty sketch.
I understand that Summon was Tesla's initial project, which eventually led to the idea of Full Self-Driving (FSD). However, it hasn't been actively developed since and is now included as an add-on feature to the FSD package. A little over a year ago, when I purchased my first Model Y, I tested out Smart Summon on the golf course, and the car ended up driving from the parking lot onto the course. I plan on trying to recreate that with permission from a course in my local area.
@@hugohom2280 FSD does not work pretty well. There are Interventions on any challenging drive. It has been demoted to 100 percent Supervised driving. That is not what people paid for.
I'm not sure why summon struggles, but FSD works flawlessly 98% of the time. I don't understand the disconnect between the two features. Hope Tesla can address it.
