Update 2019.40.50.1 - Release Notes

Smart Summon is designed to allow your car to drive to you (using your phone's GPS as a target destination) or a location of your choosing, maneuvering around and stopping for objects as necessary. Like Summon, Smart Summon is only intended for use in private parking lots and driveways. You are still responsible for your car and must monitor it and its surroundings at all times within your line of sight because it may not detect all obstacles. Be especially careful around quick moving people, bicycles, and cars.

To access the feature in your Tesla mobile app, tap Summon then tap the Smart Summon icon. To activate Smart Summon, press and hold the COME TO ME button. Alternatively, tap the target icon, set the target destination of your choice by adjusting the map, and then press and hold the GO TO TARGET button. You can stop your car from driving at any time by releasing the button.

Note: Smart Summon requires the Tesla mobile app version 3.10.2 or later. Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional details about this feature.

Due to requirements local regulators have chosen to impose, Smart Summon in some countries is limited in functionality. Your phone must be within six meters of the vehicle at all times and your car will only travel up to 20 meters for each summon drive. If the maximum travelling distance is reached, Smart Summon will become unavailable and require the vehicle be driven manually to reset.

Also, your phone must be actively connected to your car via Bluetooth to use Smart Summon — similar to how you would connect to make phone calls or stream media from your phone. To pair your phone, tap the Bluetooth icon on the status bar at the top of your touchscreen.

Note: Smart Summon requires the Tesla mobile app version 3.10.3 or later. Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional details about this feature.

Navigate on Autopilot intelligently suggests lane changes to keep you on your route, and makes adjustments so you don’t get stuck behind slow cars or trucks.

Enable Navigate on Autopilot by going to Controls > Autopilot and first enabling Autosteer. For each route where the feature is available, you have the option of enabling or disabling it by pressing the NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT button located in your Navigation turn list. You can also enable Navigate on Autopilot at the start of each route where the feature is available by setting ENABLE AT START OF EVERY TRIP to YES

Once enabled for your route, Navigate on Autopilot can be activated on controlled-access roads by pulling the cruise stalk toward you twice in quick succession. While activated, a single blue line will indicate the path ahead, keeping your car in the lane. Gray lines may appear to indicate upcoming lane changes based on your route or to suggest opportunities for you to move to a faster lane. When active, Navigate on Autopilot will also guide your car toward highway interchanges and exits based on your destination.

Once enabled for your route, Navigate on Autopilot can be activated on controlled-access roads by moving the gear lever fully down twice in quick succession. While activated, a single blue line will indicate the path ahead, keeping your car in the lane. Gray lines may appear to indicate upcoming lane changes based on your route or to suggest opportunities for you to move to a faster lane. When active, Navigate on Autopilot will also guide your car toward highway interchanges and exits based on your destination.

Adjust how aggressive Navigate on Autopilot makes lane changes to keep your car at the set speed by changing the SPEED BASED LANE CHANGES setting which can be found in Controls > Autopilot > CUSTOMIZE NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT.

The driving visualization can now display additional objects which include stop lights, stop signs and select road markings. The stop sign and stop light visualizations are not a substitute for an attentive driver and will not stop the car. To see these additional objects in your driving visualization, tap Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview.

When your vehicle is moving at a significantly faster speed than vehicles in neighboring lanes, Autopilot now automatically reduces your driving speed. This is helpful in heavy traffic situations or when there is a long line of vehicles merging into a different lane or exiting onto an off-ramp. When your vehicle detects that adjacent lane traffic is significantly slower, the lane is highlighted with arrows and its vehicles are highlighted gray in the driving visualization. This speed adjustment can be temporarily overridden by pressing the accelerator pedal.

Voice commands have been rebuilt to understand natural language. For this initial release, we focused on commands that minimize having to touch the screen so you can keep your eyes on the road. A few areas and examples of what you can say are:

• Climate: "Set the temperature to 70", "Turn on the passenger seat heater"

• Vehicle: "Adjust my right mirror", "Open the glovebox"

• Navigation: "Let's go to work", "Where are the nearby supercharging stations"

• Media: "Play the Beatles", "Search for Joe Rogan podcast"

• Communication: "Call David Lewis", "Send a text message to Evan"

• Other: "Show me the rear camera", "Open Autopilot settings"

Anonymized voice commands will be captured to further train and improve the system in future software updates.

You can now read and respond to text messages using your right scroll wheel button.

Once enabled you can also choose to play a chime whenever a new text message is received by enabling "Chime on New Message".

Additionally, if you have favorite phone contacts on your device, you can now easily access them from the Favorites tab of the Phone app.

Note: Notifications need to be enabled on your device from the phone's Bluetooth settings to send and receive text messages. Due to the limitations of Bluetooth support from your device, you will not be able to send group messages. As usual, Bluetooth behavior may depend on make and model of your device.

Adaptive Suspension Damping now has three tailored modes: COMFORT, AUTO, SPORT. COMFORT is a new mode to provide a gentler ride and a more relaxed driving experience.
