It would be nice when the car is out of sight it gives you access to all cameras to see the cars surroundings (as extra added safety)

Straight to the point. No bullshit or fillers. 👍🏾

i think you need to remain 100% still.. every time you started walking, the car would stutter or stop.

The summon works great on a open lot with no traffic … it’s more like a feature to show what the car is capable off doing without a driver

This was awesome. Thank you for taking the time to show the feature, man! :)

2:27 is a daily occurrence with summon lol

I have it also and have had similar experiences. It's a great party trick, but quite embarrassing when you need to go out in the middle of the land and rescue it :)

I have the same car. After watching your video, I’ll pass on using this feature. Thanks for making it.

Smart Summon seems very expensive for the very limited use cases. With most crowded parking lots, there is so much chaos that I would think it would be incredibly difficult for the car to process everything that is going on around it. I really can't believe anyone would pay for this feature right now. Maybe Tesla should call it a charitable donation so at least you could write it off. I would be embarrassed to admit I wasted the money.

Thank you for this demo ! I’ve been wondering how it works.

This video gave me anxiety 😂 I tried smart summon in a high traffic area as well, and I’ll NEVER do it again. Only in a low traffic area. I found regular summon a lot more useful

I really hope it'll work in the future. I've had FSD on my Tesla for almost 3 years and it's a love/hate situation.

Another feature that hasn't progressed much since its launch, I will stick to basic AP (EAP isn't worth it)

Ignoring the times the car has driven itself against a pole, smart summon is a pretty cool feature.

Ill give you props, you did it there are ppl around.

I love how you raise your voice everytime people walk by you so that they can hear that no one is driving the vehicle and show off lmao

and i thought, when i got remote start years ago, that it was all that… but this is amazing.

My anxiety would be through the roof trying this.

I had FSD for a month by subscription and I tested the summon MANY times but it always did this 2:30 Always ended up running to the car and shoving in all the grocery in to get out of traffic asap

This function is VERY useful in case your car is got "stuck" and you can't even open the door to get inside the car. I saw a real story in Hong Kong how a Model S owner spend hours managed to move his car from a JAMMED space.... Life will be MUCH easier if this function is available at that time ;-)

I love this test for smart summons. I'm an owner of an app. Technology, can only be at it's best with customer feedback, use, and proper data. It can only get better with these experiences. Awesome job! I can't wait to try this feature.

I can imagine how embarrassing it must feel when it behaves the way it did on your video but please keep using and keep in mind that Tedla continues to collect our data in situations like this to better improve.

They’ve had smart summon out for almost 2 years now…and up until now it hasn’t improved one bit and I still don’t see it functional on a daily use. They should prioritize updating this function to be more efficient. Hopefully, before the end of next year.

I think it takes safety Into consideration . When there are a bunch of diffrent things going on it takes safety first I think that is what's going on. All the cars and people moving around.

So scary 😧 thanks for sharing

“This was embarrassing”.. lol! Yes it was

I don't give a damn about self-driving features on the streets but this... this is pretty damn cool.

Smart summon works great only when you're further away from the car great video by the way but it defeats the purpose of summon when you was just walking behind the car but as I said great video

The summon almost always fails in my driveway. I have a ramp at the end of my long driveway. I always like to back up the car all the way to the front of my vacation home so that I don't have to walk up the driveway. Yet, the back camera almost always treats the ramp as a wall behind the Model X and the Model X just stops and cannot go any further as I intent it to .... lol So much for camera-based autopilot and summon. I call it features with sure limitations. Luckily, I did not pay for the FSD, I bought my Model X as pre-owned from Tesla website and it came with FSD and it was already $18,000 cheaper than a brand-new one without the FSD.

Yes because you kept moving jeezus Christ bro 😂

Last few summons were pretty bad. It stopped in the middle of the lanes and gone on the opposite lane for the other one 🤔

Me: "Is that Calgary?" *Fish creek library in the back* .... Yep lol

We aren’t far off from Knight Rider “KITT, come pick me up!” “Right away, Michael.”

It would be nice to summon a vehicle miles away to pick you up like an Uber. Maybe the vehicle should just zero in on your cellphone or key signal. Perhaps in the future.

Try set the target come to target. Come to me doesnt work bc gps is sometimes confused

Been playing with my smart summon on my model S and I got to say it's a little glitchy. Will probably just use regular summon to pull out of a parking space.

Has it gotten any better? Not sure I’d want to pay for or use this feature if this is how it works.

Questions: - what happens if you keep pressing the button and there's traffic in front of it? - can you not just press the button once and just wait? - have you tried using it in a make shift, dirt parking lot (e.g.: imagine you go out of town and there's just a makeshift parking lot with rows of cars and it's not really a road so it's not going to show up in Google Maps or something)

People need to stop making excuses for this $6000-$15000 feature that's far from ready. Way too dangerous to be out.

Here's our goal: with the windows obscured, observers can't tell if a person or the autopilot is driving. As a Tesla owner, I'm thinking it is ten years away. Really.

My biggest issue with Smart Summon is I don't think it has a reason for practical use . Normal Summon ( the one you use to get out of tight parking spaces) does have a practical use because that happens all the time. But Smart Summon I don't see having a need for it. If you think about it I think you're supposed to do it if it's raining or bad weather and you don't have to walk to the car. But if you have to have the car in view , most likely you have to be outside anyway to safely. So you're standing in the rain to observe the car coming. Which in the same amount of time you could have just walked to the car. Right now it just seems like it's a neat trick you can show people but that's all.

What really baffles me is the fact that our grandchildren will be laughing at us when they watch these videos and find out what we thought was cool back then😅.

Not bad, but feel it needs the full self driving software to be a little more effective. I am fearful to try it in a crowded area because of pissing people off or curbing a wheel =)

Imagine if it goes berserk lol

That was SCARY!!!!!

It crossed over the yellow line whereas it could HV gone a lil ahead and then took a left turn avoiding crossing over the yellow line

I have fsd and it acts so intelligently when it’s driving but when I use summon it’s like it’s drunk lol.

Beautiful car

Not sure how FSD will work if a simple summon doesn’t work. 😢 I haven’t tried it recently on my X, let me try it again if software has improved 😮

Has this feature improved with the new updates?

Imagine when the smart summon is finally refined, the price will be more than $6K.

I think a mix of tesla vision and uss would be perfect...

It follows your 📱 and is slow and does not take short cuts.

can it go to different floors?

Yes, it really is terrifying to use. But you have to keep using it.

Imagine it runs aways in high speed and disables tracking

Video was okay. Ideal would be to stand in one spot and summon the car. The constant moving made no sense.

Man I hope they get this figured out lol

I think the rain reflections were messing with it the behavior of the car almost looked way too cautious

They should have it to where the cameras display on your phone, the surroundings

How many damm Teslas this guy own?lol Every time I try to watch a video about Tesla, I see him with a different model.

Whole idea of self driving is good, I subscribe for it a week ago to test out $209 per month cancel after 5 days, what are bullshit. And now don’t know why my autopilot and cruz control stop working, schedule appointment for December 13 to fix it. Unbelievable shit

The Smart Summon has never work with me. It always stops in the middle of road and blocks the street and I need to run and get it.

So badass

Very very cool

I wasted 6k on this feature too. It worked good in 2019 but since they went to tesla vision it’s unusable. My car backed over a curb when all it had to do was drive forward 100 feet. Sad. Tesla claims it’s in beta but can’t figure why it’s not working

How far can the summon feature work?

Funny thing is it won’t let you use FSF in the rain but they promote using smart summon to get the car in the rain lol

its like you are calling your pet by food.

don't know why but whhy the windows down when its raining ? amazing video!!!

Is there a software update fix for it?

Top tip: if you press the break when the door’s open it closes

yeah that is dangerous AF

WOW that's the reason i want the tesla

It's all fun until It points itself to another city and starts going.. 😂

It would be much faster to just walk to it.

Thanks for the review. The summon doesnt work well!

Boy you kept moving lol it probably was confused

Use it only when there’s no traffic behind or people be pissed.

Yeah

Aye bro it's been a year, try smart summon now, if it dint work. I bet you 1million subs

Still work to do.

why did i feel like he was walking his dog in the beginning

My experience of Smart Summon is very similar: pretty darn embarassing.

Progress was definetely made. Smart Summon now compared to videos I've seen from 2-3 years ago, you can zee the diffrence. Autopilot is now more confident with backing up, it stops, and makes turns more confidentially as well rather than coming to complete stop cause someone passed behind it a Rolls-Royce length away.

70% of the god damn time it errors out when I try summon. Either there's no connection or it says bad connection.

Of that doesn’t work when people are around watching 😂

why do you keep walking away from it?

does every tesla have this?

Ok. So it’s not just my summon. Improvements are coming soon tho.

I'll pass on the feature I feel like its going crash I know it has camera but its on the wrong side of the road I think it need somewhat in proving.

I need that car

Drives like there is a student driver practicing.

Very cool. I wish I could afford one. I am currently driving a 2009 Nissan Versa which I bought with 100,000 miles on the odometer and it was in fantastic condition. It runs like new still and I’ve only had to do basic maintenance plus an exhaust repair. I bought it for $650. I’ve priced the Tesla’s that I’d like. Realistically, I’d have to spend somewhere between $30-50k to get a used Tesla with the features specs mileage condition that I want. So it’s going to cost me at least $29,350 more than what I spent on my little Nissan. Lol. I can’t complain about my Nissan. I got the deal of a lifetime on it and it drives very comfortably. Gas doesn’t cost me much. Repairs and maintenance for that vehicle is quite affordable. But it has zero options. Not even power locks or windows. And if I get in a crash, I’ll probably die. A Tesla would be infinitely more safe. I’ve been watching videos like these to see if the auto pilot or the full self drive modes are really worth the extra money. Does anybody know if I can upgrade to FSD AFTER I buy the car? Or does it have to come from the factory with that option installed?

Lol everyone saying I'll pass will eventually have to give in. This is the future. Starting in vegas Jan 2023 they are using fully automated lyfts and have a driver just in case a emergency. 8 months down the line they are gonna pull the drivers..then onto the next cities (LA ,NYC, mia) the cost will go down no need to pay drivers. I'm glad I was born in the 80s but I would sure love to be a 2 yr old right now and see what the technology world looks like when im 25. It's gonna be fun and scary.

Be extremely carefully on Teslas. I just heard a case that my friend parked his Tesla on the curside in a neighborhood. After leaving the car, it pulled itself and crashed in to the house at the end of the court. The car was totaled and he has to pay the damage to the house. Image that you are the owner of the house.

If the car was using FSD it’d be much more confident and reliable. Idk why Summon hasn’t taken advantage of FSD

Wow what a test a man walking with his baby into the store, it couldn't literally just decide to go full speed and ignore its technology wow

And id laugh if it just started driving off and went back home.

Yeah...thank you for the demo, but I ain't going to let a 6 figure iron steed run on its own without it's Master in it
