Not even worth showing off as a party trick. Unless you have a medical condition, and it would be a life saver for some, walking to your car is, in #ElonSpeak, an order of magnitude faster. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hate getting wet. So, if it rains, I would love Smart Summon, if I were in the US.
But just yesterday I needed Summon, because somebody had parked so close to my car that I couldn't get in. I pulled out the phone and summoned the car. Very quick, convenient solution.
It also advertises Tesla, if somebody watches you.
Regular old AP1 "dumb" summon would do that with two presses of the keyfob that never left my pocket. Just sayin'.
Ok ok, we all know Smart Summon is one of the weaker features. So what? It uses the old AI/NN stack, which is very limited. At some point Tesla are almost certain to rework this to use the new FSD stack, at which point you can be pretty sure it will be far better.

it seems whenever I need summon it’s not available, but when I don’t need it it works.
like upstairs in my house it says ‘come to me’, but when I walk downstairs and am a few meters away from the car it chickens out or takes too long to connect.
I dont think you think it works the way it works. You would definitely get wet. The range is like 50ft.

Don’t ever use the “come to me” function. Use “go to target” and it works 99% of the time. I almost NEVER have an issue with smart summon and I use it every single day.
Thanks. I am also thinking that AP is that what you now get and if you want to improve it, you need to get FSD. They already had time to improve it.

We had our first "snow storm" (i.e. wet snow falling nothing sticks to the ground for about an hour and bookended by rain)
I did not want to walk with my kids across the cold wet parking lot and decided to use Summon to bring the car to the front of the building.
On first attempt the car backed out of the spot and signaled for every turn and parked right in front of the entrance.
I haven't used it in a while - my daughter even commented "hey look that Tesla looks identical to ours" until she realized it was ours and was like "oh yeah! that's really cool, you should use that more often".
I think people should give "smart" summon a try, especially if - like me - you have not used it in a while.
ps. and yes I drop a target pin, not "come to me"... it always worked better, so now it's a habit.

EXACTLY!!! The pin drop is the most effective and can be very useful in certain situations. I think a lot of people gave up on it after day 1 or 2 while using “come to me”, instead of “go to target”. Oh well lol

After the "snow storm" my kids just keep asking for it, so I've done it about once a day since then and it has been successful 100% of the time since the "snow storm".
All attempts were in shopping parking lots.

I care very much (what if it is my kids on the parking lot!)
So far none of the actions by the car, in my summon attempts, have made me abort the session.
