Consumer Description

This incident happened as a result of the Smart Auto Summon feature failed in Tesla. I paid so much for the technology to work but it failed multiple times which is acceptable as I know the FSD and Auto Summon is in beta program but they way this incident happened, it definitely has to do something with either their Camer system, sensor or may be the hardware needs to be upgraded. Imagine if it had hit to some person. I activated the Auto Summon feature to call my Tesla in a parking lot. Regrettably, during the maneuver, my vehicle collided with a pole, damaging the car. It was a big pole. I have all the videos, and if needed, i can provide you with more details here ( Videos and Witnesses) . I have reached out to Tesla but looks like they are not even bothered about this incident and don't want to do anything and blame myself for this incident.
