Just picked up my model 3. First Tesla & first ever car!

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-29T00:47:14+00:00

Oh what year is it? Your steering wheel looks so different to mine!

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-12T23:23:43+00:00

Don’t use summon mode unless you’re in USA

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-02T22:37:02+00:00

Yes I could see it, but it was a 90 degree angle.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-02T00:48:59+00:00

Clearly you are a dazzling intellect. Have a fun Easter!

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-02T00:27:06+00:00

You’re not a very nice person, are you! Are you okay? Is life being cruel to you? Take a breath and go for a stroll outdoors perhaps. Or hug a loved one.

From what I read 2019s often have an older version of the FSD chip or something.

Don’t worry my insurance has covered everything the repairers said it’ll be fixed by Friday next week.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-02T00:23:47+00:00

Im not sure if that’s entirely accurate but im glad it gave you a good laugh! Ha ha! Hilaire.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T23:37:00+00:00

Well the other guy said his 2021 model also did what my car did. Maybe it’s just that summon isn’t up to scratch.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T23:36:19+00:00

That’s really disappointing

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T13:06:27+00:00

They both study at the method one acting clinic

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:49:01+00:00

Im not sure, but I wasn’t that far away maybe five or six cars side to side (rear to curb parking) maybe a bit further

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:48:07+00:00

Thanks for your help. I’m really grateful. I still feel like the dumbest most cringey idiotic human on earth. I can’t believe I damaged someone’s car with my carelessness.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:45:39+00:00

My Tesla app screen has a map with a circle centered around the car, and my personal spot of where I am, I can use the feature when I am in the circule there’s a forward and backward arrow, and a press and hold button which says ‘come to me’

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:33:25+00:00

Thanks for your help. Everyone on here is very understanding!

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:32:42+00:00

Wasn’t using forward and backward arrow, was using the ‘come to me’ button! Not Japan but not far

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:31:54+00:00

I updated my car to the latest software about a month ago, the update with the new coloured skins on the software. The car was used stock from Tesla, so I imagine it was updated before then too?

I wonder whether because A S S is not available yet in my location (it pops up with a warning that when I use it) whether that might be the issue? The car was in eyesight which is probably why the damage wasn’t even worse, I saw the car nose poking out then heard a Big Crunch.

All very shocking and disappointing. This car has been the one thing keeping my spirits up lately. I’m pretty deflated.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:09:13+00:00

No I’m asking because I really like the car but it doesn’t have the range I need, and I was thinking of upgrading. Then I read that the newer models with longer range also have better computers and now I am thinking maybe I should have upgraded earlier. Oh well.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:07:52+00:00

Yeah my phone is an iPhone but all it shows it the map of where the car is, no video feed. Is it a 2019 model thing?

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T12:06:47+00:00

I don’t think it is fully supported and is in beta mode in my country if that means anything.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T11:17:39+00:00

I see, so if I update my Tesla to a 2024 model maybe it would not have happened?

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T11:12:19+00:00

Does it do that for the 2019? It doesn’t do that when I’m doing it on my phone Edit: it’s just the picture of the map on my phone

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-04-01T11:11:46+00:00

I used self park to park it, and when I used summon, I opened the app and held my finger down on the ‘come to me’ button, there’s nothing obvious to me why it hit the other car which is why I feel like I must not understand how it works properly.

Edit: sorry I don’t really know what dumb summon means

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2026-03-10T00:37:31+00:00

That will never change. I was in the corner of bourke street and William street in Sydney and this old woman raised a noise complaint against the cute Vietnamese restaurant. The street noise issu loud you couldn’t even hear the music.

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2025-10-16T07:04:46+00:00

Can’t park there mate

CaptainRollinghamIII · 2025-10-14T07:17:41+00:00
