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 ?

[@FSDdriver]

It’s a pretty rough go

[@No_True_Scotsman]

Crazy how they have full self driving, but can't get this to work

[@FSDdriver]

I think it needs to have other things than just vision IMO

[@JustinAZ]

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.

[@GraphicalBoss]

I feel sorry for you 😢. But I thank you for sacrificing it to make this video to show us. From the videos I have seen FSD works excellent. I’m getting mine on August 🎉

[@richard1113]

It's videos like this that make me not even want to try Summon. I watched another video where summon failed all but the first try. I do get up the courage to try Summon, I'm definitely going with an empty parking lot like this. May be embarrassing but much safer. Hopefully this gets worked out in 12.5.

[@FSDdriver]

I don't wanna be that guy hitting parked cars

[@chadsway88]

Bro that’s nuts! And a huge liability, imagine it bust a pipe or hit someone. Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelholliday100]

I use summon everyday with no issue in busy Costco parking lots....

[@JifferRiffic]

Make videos of it

[@FSDdriver]

Can you show me

[@Wabston]

Absoulutely fantastic video. Great effort, what drone did you use to capture the birds eye view? Looks very stable and professional!

[@FSDdriver]

I used a DJI Air 2s. I’ve owned it for a long time but never really use it much. Figured I could mix in some footage with some testing.

[@allencrider]

The paint looks great.

[@robertw236]

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)

[@miseseconomics]

How long ago did Elon said you could summon your car from a different state? This didn’t look good….I thought it was better

[@FSDdriver]

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.

[@DerekDavis213]

Elmo has very little credibility. He says many things that are simply false.

[@miseseconomics]

@@FSDdriverhave you tried new updates? I see it doing impressive stuff on KZbin. I hope people aren’t editing those videos

[@FSDdriver]

@miseseconomics I’m stuck on version 12.3.6 Elon and Tesla hate me for showing people the truth.

[@DerekDavis213]

@@FSDdriver Your honesty is greatly appreciated! Nobody likes an Elan influencer that has nothing but praise for the buggy FSD software.

[@theavielashow3551]

even the autopilot when exiting the curve or exiting the parking lot going to road

[@MrFrmartin]

I don't even have the option to summon. got fsd on my 2024 model y.

[@FSDdriver]

Really? No summon you should post a pic of that. Is it enabled in the car?

[@JonesCollectiveMedia]

It said stopped due to unexpected error. I wonder what would be causing that.

[@FSDdriver]

No idea

[@GabrielGrant]

What version of FSD?

[@FSDdriver]

12.3.6

[@_IMNNO]

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.

[@FSDdriver]

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.

[@DerekDavis213]

Why is FSD a feature if it is very *undercooked* after 4 years in beta?

[@hugohom2280]

@@DerekDavis213 FSD works pretty well but summon doesnt. Really strange

[@DerekDavis213]

@@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.

[@ronmac1832]

If it can't summon, it would be hard to trust FSD. $8k? I'll pass.

[@FSDdriver]

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.

[@AndersonAguiarWeb]

summon is so fucking bad, my rims got fucked because of a kerb as well

[@FSDdriver]

FSD got me a couple of times this year… it’s so unfortunate. I understand why people buy those dumb looking rim guards now
