According to the Tesla Model 3 owner's manual, the "Summon" feature is intended exclusively for use in parking lots and driveways on private property and is programmed to remain inactive on public roads.

The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla’s “Actual Smart Summon” remote parking feature after several crash incidents were reported. NHTSA says it has received reports of 16 incidents involving Tesla’s smart summon feature in 2016-2025 Model S and X vehicles as well as 2017-2025 Model 3s and 2020-2025 Model Ys.

The “Actually Smart Summon” feature enables drivers to remotely summon or move their vehicles to them or another location via a mobile phone app.

Tesla stock has hit a rough patch in recent weeks, but top analysts still see big gains ahead for the EV maker's stock this year.

BofA Securities analyst John Murphy downgraded shares of electric-vehicle maker Tesla to Hold, but his new target price implies about 17% upside.

Tesla bounced back on Friday, closing up 8.2% on the day. As a reminder, a bull put spread is a defined risk strategy, so you always know the worst-case scenario in advance. This type of trade will profit if Tesla stock trades sideways or higher.
