Another summon issue here, too—on day 3 of owning! :crying:
I tested mine probably a dozen times over the first 48 hours to see how it worked (I have a pretty tight garage opening). Some fits and starts, but generally got it to work no problem and the car seemed overly cautious, which I actually appreciated. Then came this morning.
I opened the garage door (it's manual, since it's an old-school tiny SF garage), and walked outside to summon my Tesla out. Important note, too: I'd summoned it IN to the garage the previous evening, so didn't expect any real issues. The car starts backing out per usual, but then instead of correcting to stay centered in the opening, ends up far too close to the left side. As it's summoning I'm walking around the back of the vehicle to keep an eye on it. Just when I get in eyeshot of the driver's side view mirror I see it's too close and push "stop" in the mobile app, but not soon enough. *Crunch*... The car left a deep scratch in the mirror (which was folded) because it didn't leave enough space.
Needless to say, kind of ruined my Friday, BUT the service center manager was great and offered to fix it as a "one time show of goodwill" since it was out of my control. Needless to say, lesson learned. From here on out I'm doing it myself or measuring the gaps before I summon.
In this case it feels like "beta" is more like "alpha" so proceed with caution. Thankfully Tesla seems willing to work with folks who end up on the unlucky side of summon's kinks.
