my car still let me in, and i drove it despite the network being down. if i had deleted my app, i'd have to take the painful task of putting my key up to the door. some folks forgot to carry their key after deleting their app today

not being able to drive your car because of a cloud outage is just an edge case, so don't worry about it. when you think about it, people who were locked out of their own property because someone else's computer broke are the real morons

dude i answered your questions earlier. i was washing the car.

you can't drive it while in theater mode: thats games, netflix, youtube, etc. theater mode wasn't a thing back when i had that oh poo poo moment.

as long as there's a butt on the driver's seat, and a phone registered as a key inside, you can drive the car. there's no on/off or whatever. this isn't a thing unique to tesla any more, i know the taycan does this now too. it's neat except when you have kids playing with the controls.

real carmakers put a toggle button somewhere that disables keyless entry and ignition, if only for battery preservation

why is there not a hardware interlock that differentiates between "screen on" mode and "car will move" mode, like the ACC position in a regular car?

they say in the post you're quoting that you have to press the break pedal too but if their three year old can reach the pedals at their seat settings Tori may have some competition for the canonicalaly shortest poster

I would just put my headphones in and sleep at my desk, seems a lot more comfortable than it would be to have to idle a car just to run heat or ac for 30/60 minutes.

most of the folks at the big 3 china tech companies I've been to have cots at their desk for a siesta after lunch which sounds great until you realize they all work 12+ hour days 6-7 days a week.

I mean this is completely independent from the whole Teslas being deathtraps discourse but you just plain shouldn't allow your kid in the driver's seat until you're teaching them to drive

Invariably the kid is going to want to act like their parents and play with all the fun knobs and levers

as a kid who did just this: at one point i got into my dad's toyota pickup and put it in neutral (it was a manual) and it started rolling slowly

kids will absolutely do this sort of thing

Yeah same when I was about, idk 8 maybe, I put my dad's car in reverse with the engine running. I didn't use the clutch at all so it lunged backwards a bit and then promptly stalled. Luckily nothing or nobody was in the way.

I learned this the hard way with my Dad's friend's boat when I was 6 years old

He showed me how the throttle worked, and operated it while the engine was off to show how it moved. It looked like harmless fun! So when they went to bring some coolers into the cabin I went to play with the fun slidey lever

Thank god the boat was tied off. I got more than a scolding for that one.

Kids are fuckin' dumb and anyone who trusts them alone with heavy machinery is 10 times dumber
