Teslas are the first (and so far, the only) cars that constantly improve themselves. Every time you get in your Tesla, there could be a pleasant surprise in store. What new useful (or whimsical) feature have Elon and his merry pranksters come up with this week?
The latest software update (2019.16.1) for Tesla’s vehicles comes with the ability to enable Sentry Mode using voice commands and, as a special bonus, it includes a fun plug for a classic scene from Rick and Morty.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk had a busy weekend on twitter, and a decent number of snippets of information emerged that will be of interest to current and future Tesla owners. Let’s dive in and review what we learned.
A Tesla Model 3 owner was lucky to have Sentry Mode looking out for his car when a construction crew attempting a 73 point turn bumped into the rear quarter panel of the car, leaving a dent. Thankfully, the bumping of the car triggered Sentry Mode to activate, sending a text to his phone and capturing the last minute of video from the car’s cameras on his USB stick.
Tesla’s recent software update will protect your pets and your car. First, its “Dog Mode” is designed to keep your pets safe. It’s another unusual innovation by the automaker that brought us “Teslatari.” Dog Mode enables Tesla owners to keep their pets safely locked inside the vehicle while they’re away.
