Does smart summon have a mechanism to avoid sleeping pets (or children) lying under the wheel base? Is that just the 'operator's responsibility?
Are you literally asking about how the feature performs if there is a child hiding under the car?

No one else will adopt Tesla's standard. You're avoiding the question rather than answering it. CCS charging providers allow Teslas to charge on their networks today. When will Tesla reciprocate and convert to CCS?

Because they've standardized on CCS. Tesla tried to set a standard and it failed. It's time to switch to the standard.
The European Tesla Model 3 comes with a CCS type 2 combo port, so there's no technical impediment to implementing CCS.

More adapters we don't need. Everyone else is CCS, why isn't Tesla? Why should everyone manufacture and carry around adapters when it's much easier for Tesla to just switch its superchargers to CCS.
> Are you seriously asking this?
Yes. If Tesla genuinely wants to "accelerate the advent of sustainable transport" then it's time to get onboard with a common charging standard.

A lot of them are the norm. These are the most common complaints amongst Tesla users and they’ve gone unaddressed for far too long.
How did you come to this conclusion? I’m an owner, and frequent various forums, and have never had these complaints, and can not recall seeing them. That’s not to say that they don’t exist, but I question your assertions here.
They pop up once in a while but not to the extent many people (often times from people don't even own one) claim.

Especially the "3" owners. There are so many cut-corners on the "3" yet the owners of this budget car will explain away it all.
The powertrain is more powerful and more efficient than any other in its class. A lot of people don't care about paint or trivial fit 'n finish stuff.
100% of Tesla 3 owners would get an "S" if only they could afford it.

If you have had a Z06 (like the person posted) then you're familiar with big torque. (It has 650lbft) Similarly with any literbike in the last 10 years or what not... Just roll the throttle and you'll overtake anything in any gear. I feel like the traffic jam stuff isn't about driving - that's about commuting. I can't imagine being in a dead silent car all the time. It's not like they're dead silent anyway - you hear…
Feels different: instant response, linear torque curve all the way to the top. In a Model 3 Performance, unending gobs of power. No vibration, no heartbeat, just effortless electromagnetic whoosh. To me the sound and vibration detract from the road. Let me hit the limits of visual stream processing without distraction, let me think when going slower. Also they waste most of the energy in gas.
Yeah - I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about that for enthusiast cars except maybe for a Viper ACR or other street legal race car...
I mean - half the appeal of getting something like a Hellcat is the sound itself.

In EU maybe. Tesla Superchargers are more prevalent in the North America. The real reason nobody wanted to adopt the Tesla network is because CCS is a standard created by competitors (Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche and Volkswagen) its bad optics for them if they do.
Also, have you experienced charging on a Tesla Supercharger compared to CCS stations? It's a night and day difference... No sane person would choose CCS:
Tesla: I just tap my charge port to open it and plug the connector. DONE. My credit card that's linked to my account is billed.
CCS: Take out my wallet, use a card or RFID, decipher the menu, press some buttons and only then can I start charging.
If you need instructions like the picture below, you already failed in usability:
I want a well-put-together electric car that's completely analog from the user's perspective . There's not a single user-facing digital feature I've ever seen on a car that I wanted, and in fact most of them make things worse. Obviously there's some non-user-facing stuff, i.e. all-wheel-drive, which computerization has revolutionized. But any user-facing stuff is just awful. I want an electric car, but I don't want t…
Tesla 3 owner here. Beyond tapping up / down temperature arrows I don't ever need to touch my A/C settings and it remembers my settings when I pick my profile (and soon it will recognize me automatically) so I think it's less annoying than analog setup personally.

Add Hyundai to the list: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/hyundai-kia-ionity-electr...
The reasons for CCS are irrelevant. The practical reality is CCS is the standard now. It's time for Tesla to get in the boat and row.

The Mercedes Me account works the same way across CCS charging networks for the Mercedes EQC.
Electrify America, ChargePoint, and EVgo have roaming agreements to allow the one account to be billed across all networks: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/evgo-electrify-america-ch...
When will Tesla start being a team player?

Don't know, my experience has directly contradicted this popular narrative. I think, perhaps, these experiences are less frequent than public outlets suggest.
Similar experience here. No issues with getting parts.
Bit of a bad look that the video clip showing Smart Summon shows the Tesla driving the wrong direction down a one-way lane... This might be a situation where Tesla Smart Summon works only when Tesla's are still rare. In areas where they are more common, I imagine a traffic jam of confused driverless Teslas trying to move past each other but get stuck in a small lane like the one in the video.
Look carefully, it isn't going the wrong way: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kennedy+Park+Pl,+Californi... It's just a really bad parking lot design. Regardless, Smart Summon doesn't currently care about things like directionality in a parking lot. This version doesn't try to do anything fancy like reading markings on the pavement. The app will show you on a satellite map the route that the car is planning to go,…
