Smart Summon
This feature may be temporarily limited or inactive until
it is enabled with a future software update for vehicles
manufactured as of approximately October 2022.
Before Using Smart Summon
• Download the latest version of the Tesla mobile app
to your phone, and ensure your phone has cellular
service and GPS enabled.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with Smart Summon,
or the feature may not operate exactly as described.
• Your phone must be connected to Model Y and
located within approximately 213 feet (65 meters).
• The vehicle's cameras must be fully calibrated (see
Drive to Calibrate Cameras on page 89).
Smart Summon is designed to allow you to move Model
Y to your location (using your phone's GPS as a target
destination) or to a location of your choice, maneuvering
around and stopping for objects as necessary. Smart
Summon works with the Tesla mobile app when your
phone is located within approximately 213 feet (65
meters) of Model Y. Smart Summon maneuvers Model Y
out of parking spaces and around corners. This is useful
for moving Model Y out of a tight parking spot, through
puddles, or helping you retrieve your car while carrying
packages. You must maintain a clear line of sight
between you and Model Y and closely monitor the
vehicle and its surroundings at all times.
• You must have a clear line of sight to Model Y.
• Model Y must be in Park, not charging, and all doors
and trunks must be closed.
Using Smart Summon
1. Open the Tesla mobile app, and press Summon.
2. Press the Smart Summon icon located in the center
of the image of your Model Y. It may take several
seconds for Smart Summon to start up.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras and sensors (if
equpped) are clean. Dirty cameras and sensors, as
well as environmental conditions such as rain and
faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot
performance.
NOTE: You can use Standby Mode to eliminate the
delay that occurs when Smart Summon is starting up
The mobile app displays a map with a blue circle,
which represents the maximum proximity of 213 feet
(65 meters) that you must maintain between your
phone and Model Y. The blue dot on the map
represents your location, and the red arrow
represents the location of Model Y.
WARNING: Smart Summon is designed and
intended for use only on parking lots and
driveways located on private property where the
surrounding area is familiar and predictable. Do
not use Smart Summon on public roads.
WARNING: Smart Summon must only be used on
paved surfaces.
3. Position yourself anywhere within the blue circle
where you have a clear line of sight to Model Y.
WARNING: Smart Summon is a BETA feature. You
must continually monitor the vehicle and its
surroundings and stay prepared to take immediate
action at any time. It is the driver's responsibility to
use Smart Summon safely, responsibly, and as
intended.
4. You can now operate Smart Summon using either of
these modes:
◦ Come to Me mode: Press and hold the Come to
Me button. Model Y moves to your GPS location.
As you move, Model Y follows you. When Model Y
reaches you, it stops and shifts into park.
WARNING: Smart Summon may not stop for all
objects (especially very low objects such as some
curbs, or very high objects such as a shelf) and
may not react to all traffic. Smart Summon does
not recognize the direction of traffic, does not
navigate around empty parking spaces, and may
not anticipate crossing traffic.
◦ Go to Target mode: Touch the crosshair icon then
drag the map to position the pin on a chosen
destination. Press and hold the Go to Target
button. Model Y moves to the destination. When
reaching the location, Model Y stops and shifts
into Park and the mobile app displays a message
indicating that Summon has completed.
WARNING: Smart Summon's performance
depends on the sensors (if equipped), the visibility
of the cameras, and the availability of an adequate
cellular signal and GPS data.
NOTE: To subsequently change the location, lift
your finger, reposition the map, then press and
hold Go to Target again.
WARNING: When using Smart Summon, you must
maintain a clear line of sight between you and
Model Y and stay prepared to stop the vehicle at
any time by releasing the button on the mobile
app.
To stop Model Y at any time, simply release the Come
to Me or Go to Target button.
The map's crosshair icon toggles between
Go to Target and Come to Me modes.
When Come to Me mode is selected, the
icon is blue.
