Summon
If you used Summon to park Model 3, you can
then use Summon to return Model 3 back to
its original position (provided the vehicle has
remained in Park), or to the maximum
Summon Distance that you have specified
(whichever comes first). Simply specify the
opposite direction on the mobile app and
Summon moves the vehicle along the original
path, provided no obstructions have been
introduced. If the ultrasonic sensors detect an
obstacle, Summon attempts to avoid the
obstacle while staying very close to its original
path (Summon does not steer around
obstacles).
Note: To move Summon multiple times in the
same direction (not to exceed the maximum
of 12 meters, cancel Summon and then restart
the parking process using the same direction.
Note: Although Summon can move Model 3 a
short distance laterally to avoid an obstacle, it
does not attempt to steer around an obstacle
to return the vehicle to its original driving
path.
Note: If you release the direction button on
the mobile app, Summon stops moving Model
3.
Note: Summon requires that Model 3 can
detect a valid key nearby.
Note: Summon requires that Model 3 can
detect an authenticated phone nearby.
Warning: Model 3 cannot detect
obstacles that are located lower than the
bumper, are very narrow (i.e. bicycles), or
are hanging from a ceiling. In addition,
many unforeseen circumstances can
impair Summon's ability to move in or out
of a parking space and, as a result,
Summon may not move Model 3
appropriately. Therefore, you must
continually monitor the vehicle's
movement and its surroundings and
remain prepared to stop Model 3 at any
time.
Stopping or Canceling Summon
You can stop Model 3 at any time while
Summon is active by using the mobile app or
by pressing any button on the key fob
accessory. Summon also cancels when:
• A door handle is engaged or a door is
opened.
• You interact with the steering wheel, brake
pedal, accelerator pedal, or gear stalk.
• Model 3 detects an obstacle.

• Summon has moved Model 3 the
maximum distance of approximately 12
meters.
• Your phone enters sleep mode or loses
connectivity to Model 3.
Limitations
Summon is unlikely to operate as intended in
the following types of situations:
• The driving path is sloped. Summon is
designed to operate on flat roads only (up
to 10% grade).
• A raised concrete edge is detected.
Summon will not move the vehicle over an
edge that is higher than approximately 2.5
cm.
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is
damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by
mud, ice, or snow, or by a vehicle bra,
excessive paint, or adhesive products such
as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).
• Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog,
or extremely hot or cold temperatures)
are interfering with sensor operation.
• The sensors are affected by other
electrical equipment or devices that
generate ultrasonic waves.
Note: Summon is disabled if Model 3 is in Valet
mode (see Valet Mode
Warning: The list above does not
represent an exhaustive list of situations
that may interfere with proper operation
of Summon. It is the driver's responsibility
to remain in control of Model 3 at all
times. Pay close attention whenever
Summon is actively moving Model 3 and
stay prepared to take immediate action.
Failure to do so can result in serious
property damage, injury or death.
