Enhanced Autopilot, Smart Summon & Autopark testing in Australia

In this video, I look at the Enhanced Autopilot feature on the Tesla Model 3.
I bought the feature for 48 hours to try it out, and I'm going to show you what it's like and share my thoughts on it in this video.
Enhanced Autopilot includes several features, including:
Lane Change Assist: This feature automatically changes lanes for you.
Summon: This feature allows you to summon your car to you from a parking spot or other location.
Navigate on Autopilot: This feature takes control of your car on highways, including changing lanes, navigating interchanges, and taking exits.
Autopark: This feature automatically parks your car in parallel or perpendicular parking spots.
I'll go over each of these features in more detail in the video and share my thoughts on how well they work. I'll also talk about whether or not I think Enhanced Autopilot is worth the money.

You were standing in the way of the car so it turned to avoid you as soon as it could without hitting the side of the garage door! If you had been standing to the side of the driveway a reasonable distance down the driveway your sensational but non-threatening turn would not have occurred. Perhaps it was a setup?

[@Lens_Addict]

That could be it honestly, was literally the first time I used it.

[@masseffectist]

You just saved me $5000. Thank you mate

[@banethor]

Thanks for the video it was quite informative!

[@Lens_Addict]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know if there's anything else you would like me to test as I'm thinking about getting full self driving just to try it out. currently in Australia All that ads is stop sign detection, roundabout, traffic light detection etc

[@user-mh9hs8ru8k]

The car following you around in the dark is quite eerie!

[@Lens_Addict]

LOL yes it is! Especially because you can see that there's no one driving for sure in the interior

[@rolandrohde]

Smart Summon appears to work a lot better in Australia than it does in Germany where you have to be right next to the car at all times and then it will only drive 10m or so... And I agree in terms of Autoparking...my 2016 Skoda did better at that than the 2021 Model 3

[@Lens_Addict]

that sucks you have to be next to the car the whole time for the german version :( Yes so many cars have better auto park than tesla tbh.

[@Shkvarka]

Nice review! thank you, best regards from Ukraine!

[@Lens_Addict]

Thanks for watching!

[@kientran2462]

Thanks, great testing! You are very brave for jumping in front of the car :D must have very good faith in the Tesla engineers.

[@Lens_Addict]

TBH I had low faith lol, thats why I jumped in front, I wanted to see if it would react properly in the day it did but in night it didnt react as quick as I would like.

[@Mc12Demonkiller]

@@Lens_Addictremember your quickly trying to get in front of it last second. Me personally I wish the law was set for if people do that we should be allowed to run someone over. If your not wearing anything bright either the camera can’t see you at night.

[@franklytart]

Please can you do a video on the Astra auto park? I have an Astra myself, would be interesting!

[@Lens_Addict]

I can do that, I currently don't have a holden astra right now, I sold mine but if I get my hands on one again I can certainly make some videos on it.

[@bikersydney5653]

Nice review with Australian perspective 👍. I have a similar vintage M3LR (Nov 2021) with single reverse light 😂. Just ordered a 2023 MY RWD , it comes with 90 day EA….. will be keen to give it a try. Interesting how your experience of Auto lane change didn’t work….. some reviews said it was the best EA feature 🤔

[@Lens_Addict]

haha single reverse light crew! Enjoy the model Y I was disappointed with the auto lane change, its too hesitant on dual lane country roads.

[@Trad.Burner]

Sounds like your “coming” around the 11th minute mark haha 😛

[@Lens_Addict]

lol. I WAS RUNNING AROUND

[@bobdunne8270]

I thought summon was a gimmick when I bought my MYP but comes in very handy when I just need to move the car a few metres which happens quite often for various reasons.

[@Lens_Addict]

Every now and again it’s handy but not 5k handy

[@carultch]

Summon could be illegal in your state. There was a case where a driver in Quebec had a malfunctioning summon command that caused an accident, and neither Tesla nor the insurance company would take responsibility for the damages. The car owner had to pay out of pocket to cover damages to the other car.

[@franklytart]

Great video, really interesting. Always wondered how this worked in real life. If it crashes while in autopilot, does Tesla reimburse you for damages?

[@Lens_Addict]

Thank you! If it crashes from what I have seen tesla uses its lawyers to dodge responsibility. I wouldn't trust it fully.

[@zeldacuz]

Since autopilot is only SAE International Level 2 vehicle automation the driver is still fully responsible. Tesla probably won't be legally responsible for crashes until level 5.

[@kaitoudark22]

I think it swerved on the first time when reversing summon was because of the pole you have on the other side.

[@Lens_Addict]

Maybe, but it’s still nerve wrecking

[@annoymousxlalal4758]

Have you tried shopping centers? How do they go?

[@Lens_Addict]

I have tried them, it was kinda nerve wracking, had to supervise it too much to film, it does work underground where gps doesn't work which I thought is cool

[@dcheard2]

What year is your Model 3? No ultra sonics?

[@Lens_Addict]

2021 in this video, it has ultrasonic

[@FearTec]

What software version are you using?

[@Lens_Addict]

Whatever was the latest of the time of video posting. I have not seen any improvements on later versions so far.

[@pkerry12]

Does it work on roundabouts enhanced autopilot?

[@Lens_Addict]

Nope it just tries to drive over the middle or throws a take over now screen

[@samgrover2171]

11:15 - Now the things got scary

[@PrinceZiim]

To be fair, I’m not slouch on my parallel parking but why would u want to be that close at the end example, I wouldn’t do it either tbh, just would be a hassle

[@Lens_Addict]

Bahaha yeah it’s pretty close, that’s how you get a nail in your tire if you do it a lot

[@ZZYDDD]

I got fsd but cant find summon in app

[@Lens_Addict]

That’s strange! Have you tried contacting Tesla support and uninstalling/reinstalling the Tesla app?

[@ZZYDDD]

@@Lens_Addict no, i just thought sydney doesn't have it yet

[@Lens_Addict]

On my model 3 definitely finding that summon is working

[@Lens_Addict]

Maybe you have to turn it on on the car first under autopilot settings

[@ezekielchariot]

Is there an app function to get it to stop looking like a Mazda on it's own ?

[@Lens_Addict]

I'm not totally sure that I understand your question

[@Mc12Demonkiller]

Quickly walking in front of it and it doesn’t slow down immediately and takes a second is or for the course. To be honest without insane reflex people can’t even do that and being in the blind spot and do that isn’t poor form as you are saying m8.

[@Lens_Addict]

Shouldn't we be aiming for better than human behaviour? What part of the video are you referring to?

[@Lens_Addict]

11:48 seconds it clearly drives right towards me while I am standing still and brakes very last minute.

[@Lens_Addict]

I think people would understand the context of a pedestrian crossing & the pedestrian having right of way, it should have waited for me to cross at the marked crossing instead of going right through & ignoring me.

[@Mc12Demonkiller]

@@Lens_Addict it started to turn and registered you wherent walking and still standing there. The auto summons function while you are in a position where it turns it is attempting to pull up to the side of you…my argument still stands and still is valid.

[@Mc12Demonkiller]

@@Lens_Addict we are aiming for better then human behavior and it is a lot better then most human behaviors. I’m talking about 12:15 when you it was going and you tried speed walking in front of it. It registers faster then people but it still can only go so fast at the moment. It’s all about the codes it has to run. Currently it is faster then humans. At night time could affect it based of attire. What you should’ve done is the smart summons with a friend there to have it nav around them. With you it sees you as the end goal and will attempt to position its self next to you. It’s akin to holding to mikes next to each other and getting that loud feedback. It handled better then people would’ve but you have to understand when your the flag post. Most the video was good but that part should’ve had another person to test it.

[@AndreICBAS]

It works better if you just get out of the way

[@Lens_Addict]

Totally agree! Sometimes we just need to chill and let things happen without overthinking or overcomplicating them.

[@ThePantheons]

I'm 35 and a boss in the company, how the hell do i afford an EV and how did you get one at your age :'''-) help meee (i have a 700K+ mortgage taking a lot of the funds away tbf!!)

[@Lens_Addict]

If you want one cheaper, get them used :D

[@vc8160]

Thanks for letting us know your the boss, but at 35, if you can’t afford a Tesla, I would say find a new job. Get comfortable being uncomfortable in your life.

[@ThePantheons]

@@vc8160 all good, MY24 coming this year :D

[@Spooms1961]

Your standing behind the car when it’s reversing upset it. It’s not buggy. ALSO, if you intend to make these KZbin videos more than just a hobby, stop looking at yourself in the video and look at the camera lens. Maybe you didn’t review this video before you posted it. But be aware you look a bit weird by not seeming to look at the viewer but yourself.

[@Lens_Addict]

Aha tbh I just do it as a hobby, it’s just fun for me, thank you for the feedback, I will look at the lens more.

[@mananpatel4952]

You garage is too smaall

[@Lens_Addict]

A small garage is a more valid use case of summon than a big one.

[@mananpatel4952]

@@Lens_Addict you are right actually 😬

[@rajeshn765]

It’s like training a dumb dog

Dumb expensive dog..
