Smart Summon
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 oncoming or side
traffic. Pay attention and be ready to
stop Model 3 at all times by releasing
the button on the mobile app.
WARNING: Always anticipate when
you need to stop Model 3. Depending
on the quality of the connectivity
between the phone and Model 3, there
may be a slight delay between when
you release the button and when the
car stops.
Smart Summon cancels, and requires you to
restart it, when:
Standby Mode
• A door handle is engaged or a door is
opened.
To keep Model 3 ready to Summon and
reduce the time it takes to warm up, turn on
Standby Mode. Touch Controls > Autopilot >
Customize Summon > Standby Mode. When
Standby Mode is turned on, you can conserve
Battery energy by disabling Standby Mode at
these locations:
• You interact with the steering wheel,
brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or drive
stalk.
• Model 3 is blocked by an obstacle.
• Smart Summon has moved Model 3 the
maximum distance of approximately 65
feet within a 20 foot (6 meter) radius of
the phone's location. To move further
than this distance, you must shift Model 3
into a driving gear (Drive or Reverse) and
then re-initiate a Smart Summon session.
• Exclude Home - Disables Standby Mode
at the location you set as Home in your
Favorites list.
• Exclude Work - Disables Standby Mode at
the location you set as Work in your
Favorites list.
• Your phone enters sleep mode or loses
connectivity to Model 3.
• Exclude Favorites - Disables Standby
Mode at any location in your Favorites list.
Limitations
NOTE: To conserve energy, Smart Summon
automatically exits Standby mode from
midnight to 6:00 am. During these hours, you
will experience a delay as Smart Summon
starts up.
Smart Summon is unlikely to operate as
intended in the following types of situations:
• GPS data is unavailable due to poor
cellular coverage.
NOTE: Additional battery power may be
consumed while Standby Mode is active.
• The driving path is sloped. Smart
Summon is designed to operate on flat
roads only (up to 10% grade).
NOTE: For details on how to designate a
location as Home, Work, or Favorites, see
Recent, Favorite, Home and Work
Destinations on page 170).
• A raised concrete edge is detected.
Depending on the height of the concrete
edge, Smart Summon may not move
Model 3 over it.
Stopping or Canceling Smart

cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed
