Tesla Model 3 Smart Summon Vision Jet Crash
Tesla Smart Summon on compatible vehicles allows for a supervised 150-foot line-of-sight remote car retrieval using the smartphone app. Typically, the car is capable of navigating around obstacles, but this Model 3 owner decided to use it on a runway at Felts Field in Spokane, Washington during a Cirrus event. Let’s just say that things did not turn out as planned since the Smart Summon system only accounts for things at the level of the car.



At $3.5-million, the Cirrus Vision Jet, is basically a single-engine very light jet powered by a Williams FJ33 turbofan. This all-carbon fiber, low-wing, seven-seat private jet is fully pressurized and cruises at 345 mph (560 km/h) with a range of over 1,200 nmi (2,200 km). In case of disaster or emergency, it boasts a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute system. It may look small, but it’s definitely not smaller than the CriCri.

Tesla sensors check around for things at the level of the car. They don’t measure the height of overpass obstructions. (Yet. Seems like a useful fine tuning feature to add once all the basic functions are working solidly.) And I doubt the cost to repair the damage will be in the millions even though the plane costs that much,” said one reader.
