Tesla’s “summmon” feature, which allows the vehicle to be moved/parked remotely from an app, does work in Europe.

However, it’s functionality is greatly reduced compared to the US version, and requires the operator to be standing nearby with a line of sight to the vehicle.

Oh, but does work and may work are two different beasts entirely, and Tesla specifically is notorious in disregard for the latter: "you could do this, but don't, wink wink wink."

as an owner of a model 3, this feature is not for the faint of heart and nothing I would dare use in a crowded parking lot if ever other than a party trick.

for me it just shows how far off autonomous driving really is, I swear a roomba could navigate a parking lot better and quicker. currently the driving features are best confined to limited access roads; interstates

Tesla uses OpenStreetMap data for Smart Summon. Some users have been able to improve its behaviour by mapping parking lots in OSM:
