Okay, let’s get one thing straight: Summon is not a Harry Potter spell. It’s Tesla’s feature that lets you move your car forward or backward using the app—no driver inside. Yes, really. You stand there like a wizard, thumb on a phone, and watch two tons of metal creep toward you.
It sounds like magic. It feels like magic. But it’s also a little terrifying the first time. Because what if your thumb slips? What if the car decides it wants to hug a fire hydrant instead of you? (Spoiler: it usually behaves.)
Why the Model Y Is the Perfect Summon Subject
The Model Y is chunky but nimble—like a golden retriever that can parallel park itself. It’s tall, practical, and has those falcon-like cameras that see everything around it. This makes summoning it less of a gamble and more of a controlled miracle.
Plus, it’s the best-selling car in the world right now. So chances are, you’ve seen one in the wild. You might have even accidentally tried to unlock one. Don’t worry—I won’t tell anyone.
