First look at Tesla Model 3 Summon feature in action
A Tesla Model 3 owner has uploaded a video showcasing the compact electric car’s Summon feature in action. The video was shared on YouTube by electric car enthusiast Marc Benton, who filmed himself using the feature to park his red Tesla Model 3 in and out of his garage. In the video’s description, Benton noted that his compact electric car was running Tesla’s v8.1(2018.24.1) firmware.
Tesla’s recent over-the-air firmware update introduced several new functions to the Model 3, including Wi-FI connectivity, cabin overheat protection, and Summon. Following is the feature’s description, as written on the update’s release notes.
“Model 3 can now be summoned in and out of narrow parking spaces using the mobile app. To enable this feature, tap Controls > Autopilot > Summon. To learn how to initiate, cancel, and customize Summon, refer to the Owner’s Manual.”

Improvements to Tesla’s Summon features are set to be rolled out soon. In a recent tweet, Elon Musk noted that all Model 3, as well as Model S and Model X with HW2 Autopilot, would receive a more advanced form of Summon. The capabilities of “Advanced Summon” have not been revealed as of yet, but considering that Tesla is aiming to release software Version 9 around August, there is a good chance that the improved features would be related, at least in part, to Tesla’s “Smart Summon” capabilities mentioned in the company’s Full Self-Driving suite.
As noted in Tesla’s official page for its Full Self-Driving suite, Smart Summon would enable HW2 vehicles to navigate more complex environments and parking spaces. Once the feature is enabled, the Model S, Model X, and Model 3 would be able to maneuver around objects on its own to get to its target location.
Smart Summon is just the tip of the iceberg in Elon Musk’s vision for the feature, however. Musk, after all, has noted that in the future, Summon should work even if the vehicle is across the country. Until then, however, improvements in the feature, such as its rollout for the Model 3, are a step towards that goal.
