Tesla Model X: Stopping or Canceling Summon

Tesla Model X 2015-2024 Owner's Manual / Autopilot / Summon / Stopping or Canceling Summon

Stop Model X at any time while Summon is active by using the mobile app or by pressing any button on the key fob. Summon also cancels when:

  • A door handle is engaged or a door is opened.
  • You interact with the steering yoke, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, or shift.
  • Model X detects an obstacle.
  • Summon has moved Model X the maximum distance of approximately 39 feet (12 meters).
  • Your phone enters sleep mode or loses connectivity to Model X.

Limitations

Summon is unlikely to operate as intended in the following types of situations:

  • The driving path is sloped. Summon is designed to operate on flat roads only (up to 10% grade).
  • A raised concrete edge is detected. Summon does not move Model X over an edge that is higher than approximately 1 in (2.5 cm).
  • One or more of the ultrasonic sensors or cameras is damaged, dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow, or by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating, etc.).
  • Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering with sensor operation.
  • The sensors are affected by other electrical equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
  • Model X is in Trailer Mode or an accessory is attached.

NOTE: Summon is disabled if Model X is in Valet mode (see Valet Mode).

WARNING: The list above does not represent an exhaustive list of situations that may interfere with proper operation of Summon. It is the driver's responsibility to remain in control of Model X at all times. Pay close attention whenever Summon is actively moving Model X and stay prepared to take immediate action. Failure to do so can result in serious property damage, injury or death.
