Fantastic demo of ASS in action 😂 We just joined the Tesla family a week ago (Model Y) and absolutely love it. Having three paid off gas cars, and with the current incentives, we thought it was time to see what EV vehicles are all about. We experienced the FSD on the toll road the other day, and I genuinely flipped out when the Tesla signaled and changed lanes to get pass a slower driver - mind blowing! Just updated the car last night, and look forward to trying out the summon feature, definitely going to be fun. Technology is crazy, and so awesome 😃 Thanks for sharing this, you’ve earned a subscriber!
It is quite impressive however can you show how it works a rainy day and when the camera's are dirty? I live in Alaska and would like to see if this works in during our winter conditions.
As long as the cameras can see, rainy conditions don’t really affect Autopilot/FSD very much. Surprisingly, the first camera to give out in rainy conditions is usually the rear camera; while driving in rain or snow, the vacuum effect behind the car pulls in the water spray/salt/dirt and can make the rear camera useless in high speed driving. EV drivers commonly give the rear lens a quick wipe with their thumb :) Some EVs now come with little washer fluid sprayers to clean off the cameras. I’m sure something like that will have to be almost standard equipment to keep cameras clean.
This is cool but I do want to ask outside of what I’d use it for which would be for the rare occasions I’d get a large item from the store or not have an umbrella on a rainy day, what would be the use of this feature?
You definitely named 2 good use cases. Others might be… what if I were in a wheelchair, or on crutches? I could bring the car to me without having to go after it. Or maybe I just left a busy concert and called the car to come and pick me up instead of using a valet? Lots of ways this will be useful, especially when it’s basically a standard feature of most cars. Thanks for watching!
Isnt the purpose of having a car to get from point a to point b? So whats the point of an EMPTY car driving around??? People who do this just to distract others that are walking or using their car for its intended PURPOSE, should be fined.
Imagine if it’s raining, and you call your car to pick you up so you don’t have to walk through a rainy parking lot? Or imagine that you have your elderly grandparent with you and want to save them a long walk out to the car? Or you are on crutches or in a wheelchair? These are all great reasons why you might want your car to pick you up at the front of a store/school/work/etc. And in 20 years, this stuff won’t be just a party trick. It will be standard equipment on every car, same as seat belts and air conditioning.
I’ve not used it yet, still not ok with it driving with no one in it yet. I just imagine myself running across the parking lot as it gets stuck somewhere.
I underestimated how many folks would wave to or acknowledge the car without realizing there was nobody behind the wheel!

Thank you! And congrats on the new car!!
The main thing this shows is how people just wander wherever they feel like in car parks.
Nicely done!
Thank you! You never know what kinds of reactions you’ll get :)
It would be interesting to put a camera on the roof of the car to capture the surprised expressions of passers-by.😊
Will there be a day when the car drops you off and finds a parking spot ?
Absolutely!! And Tesla already has a name for that feature… “Reverse Summon” 😎 That will be coming in a software update, hopefully soon!
@ThisIsTeslaTrippin I will purchase my model y in December to see what the promotions are
Why have the screen went blank on 2:12 ?
I saw that too. Must have been a small software glitch of some sort.
great context to have software glitches

That's a pretty good prank😂. Peoples gotta know this Tesla
I did get some pretty fun reactions from folks! Thanks for watching
good stuff
So many Targets and missed them all.
Hahaha
"It’s fake" was my favorite reaction.
Yeah! The lady who said that eventually figured out that it was me controlling the car, but until then she was a little flipped out :)

Hey, I love your work! I want to edit a couple of videos for you for free, how can I contact you?
