"Summon"
Great word - evokes both magic and privilege in one fell swoop.
They just nail the language in their communications.
- untog 11y agoJust seems like a straightforward use of language to me. What other word is even applicable?
- thinkingkong 11y agoIts easy to dismiss things as obvious when theyre done well.
- untog 11y agoIt's also easy to praise things because you like the person saying them.

- Eldarrion 11y agoWhy would you request, beg or plead when it is your personal car that is coming to you? Call maybe... but summon kind of rolls off the tongue better... never mind when you consider how gaming is developing and how you'd run into that particular word in pretty much any game that involves magic and 'calling' things to you.

- untog 11y agoOut of those, Direct, Mobilize, Greet, Recall and Whistle are far, far more ambiguous (with multiple meanings) than Summon. Hail is associated with taxis. If you put them all in a list it would take all of five seconds to realise that Summon is the best option.
- TheBiv 11y agoThat's assuming that someone would be looking at a list like that and not doing what Microsoft or other companies do where they make up their own term for features/products

- drewrv 11y agoTesla Recall would be a terrible name. Car recalls are associated with saftey failures. Meanwhile people need to be convinced this feature is safe. There's so much more to it than using a thesaurus!
- kemayo 11y agoMy favorite comment I saw on Twitter about this was just "Accio Tesla!", but I suspect the licensing fees would be a bit outrageous. :)
