So here’s how to use smart summoning for Tesla cars (in EU)
1) Open your app and activate smart summon
2) Walk towards your car until you are in range
3) Your car has now successfully smart summoned you.

This Tesla was like:
In America you summon Tesla
In Great Britian Tesla summon you

[Raaaphael]

It's like walking your Model 3 🤣🤣

Next update comes with a chair you can put on top of the car, so you are always in range.

[RubenKelevra]

So you have to stand so close with the phone that the car cannot summon because you're in the way. Brilliant regulations 😂

[sweiland]

When you summon your Tesla while you are in your Tesla, doesn't that cause a disruption in the space-time continuum?

[seb.]

what are you saying, smart summon worked : she got you to walk to her 😂
(Bluetooth isn't the limiter, definitely the Tesla implementation for EU)

Tried it out myself yesterday and came to almost the same conclusion.

The requirement to have your phone within maybe 1-3 meters of distance from your car defeats Smart Summon‘s whole purpose in my eyes. If I‘m already *that* close to my car I can walk up to the driver’s door and get into my car.

I'm so sorry for all those EU regulations! I am very impressed with the US version. When I go to the update, I went to a parking lot and it was actually amazing. stops at intersections put on the blinker and comes directly to come to me!

[ramenixsan]

Me : "Mum can we get a pet?"
Mum : "We already have a pet at home"
*The pet at home :*

That’s really too bad about the eu regulations it could be so much better

[joshuam]

The car is already creaking? Jesus Christ that build quality is -100

[ekrajb]

I have heard many places that this is a pure EU-regulation issue. They've basically rendered summon useless by a regulation that requires remote controlling to be within 6 meters of the vehicle (which is why you feel you have to walk next to it like it's on a leash). Which is kind of absurd for a feature such as summon, because why would you summon your car if you're right next to it?
Only really useful in the EU for that 'someone parked 5cm away from my cardoor'-situation.

To be clear, this is purely an EU-regulation issue, so NOT Teslas fault.

[sevinboralugoda]

So you have to stand close to the car to activate come to me?! What’s the point😂

[boggy]

After watching these, I won't think I"m missing anything not having a Tesla. These self-driving features require more effort and attention than just driving it yourself.

[lydenjaydenplaysroblox]

Just imagine his car can drive off without him 😂 I just love seeing Teslas electric cars.

[oliverloquens]

Man. That’s painful. I hope the next release has major improvements.

[michaelfink]

Hopefully in about a year, we will laugh at the early version of Smart Summon (instead of crying). By the way, perhaps think about replacing your phone screen protector and getting some WD 40 for your steering system.

[sebastianmoser]

These UN regulations make really a lot of sense🤦🤦

[DisleyDavid]

I’m actually quite happy that my car doesn’t do any of this. It goes where I tell it when I am behind the wheel. That seems entirely sufficient.
