I though the issue was that you could leave a phone in the car so was within range but summon it with another

Ah, the good old days!

A few years ago I was in California & saw a Smart Summon M3 crawling in jerky slow motion between rows of parked cars.

A driver in another car was concentrating so hard on avoiding it that he knocked over a shopping trolley, spilling its contents all over the grocery store parking lot in front of the driverless Tesla. The lady who had been pushing the trolley inmmediately went incandescent with rage, meanwhile the M3 had politely stopped as it couldn't proceed, flashed its lights & sat there diagonal & motionless.

All three people directly involved were having a hell of a row (shopper blaming driver, driver blaming Tesla owner, lots of others giving opinions). People were laughing or shaking their heads in disapproval at the 'toy' & a real car parked randomly beside the wreckage.

Smart Summon looked useless to me at the speed it was actually moving - embarrassing & something I most definitely wouldn't want.
