NHTSA Closes Investigation on Tesla's Actually Smart Summon + My Top 3 Must-Have Accessories
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla owner or enthusiast like me, you've probably heard about Actually Smart Summon (ASS). Great news just dropped: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has closed its investigation into the feature. Let's break it down and talk accessories too!
Actually Smart Summon Gets a Green Light
According to the report, almost all reported crashes were minor property damage with zero injuries and zero fatalities. Out of a million summon sessions, only a fraction of 1% resulted in any incident. That's incredibly reassuring!
I've seen those viral clips of summons bumping poles or vehicles, and it made me hesitant. But these stats show it's extremely safe overall. If you use ASS regularly with your Tesla, drop a comment below—is it foolproof for you?
Real-World Use Cases
One killer scenario: It's pouring rain, you're loaded with bags at the store entrance, and your Tesla pulls right up to you. Can't wait for the reverse—Banish! Just send your car off to park itself while you shop. Game-changer ahead.
I need to test ASS more myself. It's cool tech, and this news has me excited to dive in.
Top 3 Tesla Accessories You Need Right Now
Congrats on your Tesla (or the one you're about to buy)! The real fun starts with accessories. There are tons out there, but here are my top three buckets:
- Phone Mounts
- All-Weather Floor Mats
- Center Consoles
#1 Recommendation: All-Weather Floor Mats
These are a must-have. Tesla floors get messy fast—rain, dirt, you name it. I categorize them as Good, Better, Best:
- Good: Affordable Amazon options.
- Better: Brands like Taptes (or similar mid-tier).
- Best: 3W Liners on our Model X and Model 3 Performance. Premium material at a competitive price—use my promo code from the description or our Best Deals Spreadsheet (Page 2)!
Phone Mounts & Center Consoles
- Jowua Phone Mount: We use these on all test cars. Rock-solid.
- Jowua Center Console: Tesla skips this stock—don't miss out!
