Yes! It’s a Tesla Model 3 with Full Self-Driving Capability. So happy to be one of the first people who reserved and ordered a Tesla Model 3 in Germany.
I got it delivered last in March (2019).
People mostly ask,
how could I be so brave to order a car which I never saw in real?
To sum it up in 3 main points:
- it is an exclusive, sexy, fast electric car
- it is an intelligent self driving car
- it is an evolving car with an unique ecosystem
It’s totally beyond belief, am %99 confident cuz experiencing it every single day; there is no competition to Tesla and its technology now, and won’t be for a loooong time.
Although, I could write about the points above pages long texts, I need to stay focused and write down the main reason of this post.
It is the ‘Smart Summon’ feature and its practical use in Europe.
Teslas (Models S/3/X/Y) which are equipped with Full Self-Driving Capability, with the proper hardware (driving computers of v2.5 or v3) have this feature.
Basically the driver can call the car to the feet by using the ‘Smart Summon’ or ‘Come To Me’ options inside the Tesla iOS/Android apps.
Smart Summon’ing
Frankly; extremely strict, European car industry backed up regulations are making the feature almost useless.
If you watch videos recorded about Smart Summon in US or Canada. You can see that driver can call their car from a distance of 61 meters, where as this limit in EU around 20 meters. While using the feature in US or Canada, your phone and car needs to be connected to the Internet, in addition to this, in Europe your phone needs to be connected to your car as well. This connection is provided over the bluetooth protocol, the distance to call the car drops down to 10 meters.
