The publication’s Ethan Douglas went so far as to accuse Tesla of “beta-testing its cars on the general public,” and pointed out the multiple incidents where owners’ Smart Summon use led to minor collisions. It also noted that the NHTSA was looking into the feature for potential problems.

We’ve asked Tesla for comment, although CR didn’t get answers after “repeatedly” inquiring with the automaker.

We wouldn’t count on a warm response. Tesla has disputed CR‘s conclusions more than once, accusing it of using flawed methodology or ignoring subsequent fixes in later production lines and software updates. However, it’s safe to say that Smart Summon’s introduction hasn’t gone as smoothly as Tesla might like, even if it’s poised to improve over time.

NHTSA told the news organization: “We are in ongoing contact with the company and we continue to gather information. Safety is NHTSA’s top priority and the agency will not hesitate to act if it finds evidence of a safety-related defect.”

The agency revealed that it’s keeping an eye on Tesla just as company chief Elon Musk tweeted that the feature was used over 550,000 times in its first few days. His company rolled out Smart Summon with a software update last week, allowing owners to drive their car to where they’re standing simply by touching a button on the Tesla app.

While the feature has the ability to stop the vehicle if it detects an obstacle, it’s still supposed to work with human input. The company told its users to use the feature only if they’re standing around 200 feet from the vehicle and have a clear line of sight. It also warned them to monitor their car and its surroundings at all times and to be “especially careful around quick moving people, bicycles and cars.” In case they do notice an obstacle, they can lift their finger from the Summon button and stop their car from moving before it causes any accident.

You’ll be able to kick back and watch a movie or TV on a Model S, Model X, and Model 3 through the Tesla Theater. You can connect your Netflix, YouTube or Hulu account (including Live TV on the latter), or iQiyi and Tencent Video if you’re in China. You’ll only be able to use those via the screen while your car’s parked, and Tesla plans to add support for more streaming services down the line.

If you’d rather play games, Cuphead is making its way to Tesla Arcade at long last. You can play the devilishly difficult run-and-gun game with USB controllers in either solo or co-op mode, again while you’re parked.

When you’re on the road, you might want to listen to tunes and podcasts from a Spotify Premium account, and you’ll be able to do that through Tesla’s system too (Slacker Radio and TuneIn were already available). In China, Tesla’s adding support for Ximalaya’s podcast and audiobook service. That’s not all though, as there’s a “Caraoke” (groan) mode with a “massive library of music and song lyrics, with support for multiple languages,” Tesla says.

Where have you parked your Tesla?

But also, who cares?

Beyond the new entertainment options, Tesla is adding a number of other new features. If you have the enhanced autopilot or full self-driving option, you can use the Smart Summon function to make your car come to you, as long as it’s in your line of sight. You’ll have more control over your car from the mobile app in other ways: you might open and close your garage door with HomeLink, remotely control Model 3 and Model X windows or turn up the heat to defrost the cabin at max temperature.

Video captured while your car’s in sentry mode will be stored in a separate folder on your USB drive. The system will delete older clips to make way for new footage if your storage is running low.

You don’t know what to do. You don’t know what to eat.

You trust the opinion of strangers, but you don’t want to talk to them.

If you’re looking for something to eat or do, navigation features called I’m Feeling Lucky and I’m Feeling Hungry can guide you to somewhere new within your car’s range. Tesla has updated its maps software to sort search results by distance. You can view business ratings, start a call or get directions to a place of interest with a tap.

Elsewhere, Tesla is opening up browser access on Model 3 standard range and standard range plus models, along with Spotify, TuneIn and Slacker Radio streaming (you’ll need to be parked and connected to WiFi though). The update includes UI and options changes, including reduced volume for certain alerts.

The feature has Tesla’s cars automatically navigate toward you in the parking lot. You wouldn’t have to park toward the front of a store just to avoid a lengthy walk.

Whether or not Tesla makes that target window isn’t clear. Remember, Musk said in November 2018 that Enhanced Summon was coming in six weeks. Release estimates aren’t Tesla’s strong suit, to put it mildly. If this does arrive as promised, though, it could help buyers feel better about a package thatso far hasn’t lived up to its name.
