The primary use case right now is pulling your car in and out of your own garage at your own house.
As a Model 3 owner, I also went and tested out the capabilities in a few parking lots, just for fun.

- eclipxe 7y agoI use summon every night to pull my car out and it works flawlessly. Based on that damage it’s not clear how that could be caused by anything in a garage.
- dragontamer 7y agoI think parking-lots make more sense than a garage. 1. Garage is full of tight spots. If something "goes wrong", you have to lift your finger off the cell-phone (capacitive sensor, so its innately laggy to a few dozen milliseconds), that signal then has to be trasmitted over the internet, to the car which then applies the brakes. 2. Or... you could be in the car itself... and directly connected to the accelerator / braking system. No delays if something goes wrong. ------ At least with a parking lot, you can argue that you didn't feel like walking (even if you need to keep the car within visual range). But in a garage + visual range, it means that you're giving up control for what amounts to a party trick. Its not like Electric vehicles give off fumes, so there's basically no disadvantage to getting in the car inside the garage instead.
