Summon
Summon shifts Model Y into Drive or Reverse (based on
the direction you specified) and drives into or out of the
parking space. When parking is complete, or if an
obstacle is detected, Summon shifts Model Y into Park.
Summon shifts Model Y into Park when:
• Model Y detects an obstacle in its driving path
(within the Bumper Clearance setting that you
specified).
• Summon has moved Model Y the maximum distance
of 12 meters.
• You release the Forward or Reverse button.
• You press any button to manually stop Summon.
If you used Summon to park Model Y, you can then use
Summon to return Model Y back to its original position
(provided Model Y 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 Model
Y along the original path, provided no obstructions have
been introduced. If an obstacle is detected, Model Y
attempts to avoid the obstacle while staying very close
to its original path (Summon does not steer around
obstacles).
NOTE: To use Summon to move Model Y 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 Y a short
distance laterally to avoid an obstacle, it does not
attempt to steer around an obstacle to return Model Y to
its original driving path. Only Smart Summon (if
equipped) can steer Model Y around objects.
NOTE: Summon requires that Model Y can detect a valid
key nearby.
NOTE: Summon requires that Model Y can detect an
authenticated phone nearby.
WARNING: Model Y cannot detect obstacles that
are located lower than the bumper, are very
narrow, or are hanging from a ceiling (for example,
bicycles). 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 Y appropriately.
Therefore, you must continually monitor the
vehicle's movement and its surroundings and
remain prepared to stop Model Y at any time.
Stopping or Canceling Summon
Stop Model Y 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 shift.

• Model Y detects an obstacle.
• Summon has moved Model Y the maximum distance
of approximately 12 meters.
• Your phone enters sleep mode or loses connectivity
to Model Y.
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 does
not move Model Y over an edge that is higher than
approximately 2.5 cm.
• One or more of the ultrasonic sensors (if equipped)
or cameras 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 (if equipped) are affected by other
electrical equipment or devices that generate
ultrasonic waves.
NOTE: Summon is disabled if Model Y is in Valet mode
(see Valet Mode on page
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 Y at all
times. Pay close attention whenever Summon is
actively moving Model Y and stay prepared to take
immediate action. Failure to do so can result in
serious property damage, injury or death.
