It should be the case. Here's a video of Bjorn summoning. He keeps his thumb on the button the entire time.

Except the 3 does not have touch sensors in the handle. It requires a push/pull in order for the car to know you're there.

Right, there's no touch sensor. What I had in mind was depressing the round part of the door handle, the same way you do to unlock the car with the phone key.

Looking forward to those test results!

I still won't configure auto close. Too dangerous.

I have to agree with @SoFlaModel3 on this one. The auto close feature works ONLY when you leave not when you pull into your garage. It closes the garage door when you are well clear and gives a tone (if checked in settings) when it sends the signal. I've never had a problem with it and just allow it to automate one more function to make life easier!

Summon with the phone app requires you hold the button down continuously while the car is rolling. Dropping the phone, moving your thumb or closing the app would stop the car immediately.

I used it today and there is the option for both. You can disable the continuous press. I did it both ways. When I had it going forward on its own into our garage my mom stepped in front of it and it immediately stopped. Here is the option screen on the summons. My husband is @apmowery and is out of town so I've done all the playing around with it this far, lol.

You rock - love that you are out there investigating and seeing how it works, learning and testing. Really love that you had your mom step out there in front of it. I could see if your husband had his "mother-in-law" step out, but you had your own mom. Tell her thanks for participating in the test and surviving.

In all honestly - sounds cool. I do hope that it rolls out strong soon, but doesn't seem to be much more activity beyond your car. Maybe one or two others reported around.

Thank you for posting a photo of the screen! I'm pretty sure this is the first time this has been seen

No prob!! With my husband being out of town and as anxiously as he's been awaiting this update I had to document everything! I even had to summon it in front of our security cameras for him to watch from his phone, lol. This is the screen that comes up when you disable the continuous press for anyone interested.

Even though I intellectually understand why there isn't a "give me the latest update, right now" button (yet), I still wish we had it…

Thanks for the pics. Do the release notes mention anything about connecting to wifi? I saw someone on reddit said that you can finally connect the Model 3 to Wifi networks (outside of the SC's wifi). Is this true? paging @apmowery too...to throw out a bigger net to catch some more answers of course.

Got my car back. They were not able to force the update. Looks like I’m waiting like the rest of you! But super excited, I hope it comes soon. Man I missed my car. It feels sooooo much lighter than a Model S 75.

Ooooh, wifi & Summon in one update is a biggie.

Is Summon still in "beta" on the Model X/S?

ps. And Cabin Overheat Protection? Wow

105 F? That seems low.

Nice. Sounds like a good. Update!

So this is it right? Last piece of EAP. This is what $5k gets us?

There should still be some improvements coming for EAP but exactly what remains to be seen.

Man, summon, overheat, speed control AND WiFi!? That's a darn fine update if I do say so. Can't wait to get that one in there and play with these new features. While summon is cool, I'm probably most happy about cabin overheat since I live in SW Florida and at this time of year if the car gets left in a parking lot for more than 30 minutes it gets to oven-level in there. It will be nice to have the car at least at a reasonable level if I forget to cool it down in advance with the app.

I think that's the last feature that the S and X had that the 3 did not. But hopefully Tesla continues to develop EAP. I'm curious to find out how they decide if features belong to EAP or FSD going forward.
