Some Tesla Owners Report Malfunctioning Dog Mode In New Updateinsideevs.com Be a little extra cautious when enabling Dog Mode in Tesla's recent software update.

Fun fact: Tesla's "Dog Mode" originally only held temperature to 40 degrees Celsius, which is the temperature a dog's internal organs start shutting down, because it wasn't intended to protect dogs at all but rather the car's shitty, non-automotive grade screen www.thedrive.com/tech/27989/t...

Tesla's Screen Saga Shows Why Automotive Grade Matterswww.thedrive.com Elon Musk bragged that the Model S's 17 inch screen isn't automotive grade, but now Tesla and its customers are mired in "replacement hell."

HOW DO THESE CARS KEEP GETTING WORSE

do you have any idea how many mouths Elon has to feed? no really, even he has lost count at this point...

Lmao but also can we talk about the starlink satellites and how we’re on the verge of total communication breakdown when they all crash into each other which is now inevitable

And destroying the ozone layer and making astronomy impossible, all for an internet service that can't operate profitably, to prop up a launch business that also can't operate profitably, all in the name of building a city on Mars that will never happen? Those satellites??

Reminds me of that hyper tunnel which was so clearly horseshit from the beginning

It’s grifts all the way down

How else can he literally help Putin win a war?! I’ll never understand how he got a dime of fed funding after that stunt

We really need to ask if these are employees or just members of the harem at this point.

well, he wouldn’t have to keep track if he just stuck to his naming scheme

anyone else think it’s weird that he named a startup, a model of car, twitter and his kid all the same thing?

“Brown Note” was pretty well debunked but I think if anyone can figure it out it’s Tesla

You actually think he pays child support?

the crappy screen thing was the first thing i read about teslas that made me go 'oh, okay, yeah...no'

it's a pretty dramatic blackpill... there's a reason I saved it for the last chapter of Ludicrous

I AM SCREAMING OUT LOUD CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME

At least with other vehicles you don’t have to specifically check every feature to make sure it won’t (under normal conditions) kill you or your loved ones. If it says dog mode, then I’d expect it to be safe for animals and people, not that I’d have to look up survival outcomes for heat stress.

It’s funny because the ridiculously large touch screen is the reason I don’t want a tesla or most EVs now that everyone is copying it. Just want a normal car with buttons that is powered by electricity. Is that so much to ask?

Niro EV

What will happen is China will sell us the cars we actually want.

BYD is also doing this, I’ll give them points for at least keeping the shifter.

So Dog Mode is an oven setting?

Elon should test it personally. It would make him look tough and cool!

I hate that you’re making me defend Tesla, but dog mode and cabin overheat protection have always been two very different and discrete funct

Jesus fuck

Tesla: I don't want one

😱

This company is a case study as to why and how meritocracy and capitalism are bullshit.

Fucking Teslas.

"What's this new button marked 'Kristi Noem' do?"

No! No!!

There's a lower setting called "Mitt Romney".

😬

The “Barack Obama” setting dispenses bbq sauce…

Ouch. My eye-rolling muscles.

I didn't even know there were any goats around here

OH GOD

Any mom would definitely push that button, amirite.

Overheard

yeah, considering what happened to Angela Chao, I sure wouldn't trust them with my dog.

jfc

Also drive mode, off road mode, not go on fire mode

Brakes mode not guaranteed.

Stop mode, go mode

maybe "please don't rely on tesla" is the more correct post.

Moral of the story: don’t trust the nazi with your dog’s life.

I'm a dog mom. Also a person mom. And the mother inside me is screaming top of my lungs don't do this, not with dogs, not with children!!!! #Screaming

So say we all!

I want to believe that dog mode allows your dog to drive, which would be one of the funnier outcomes of an actual functional self driving mode. Look over at the next car at a light- it's a labradoodle driving a Cybertruck At least you'd know to stay away. Let that Schnauzer merge if he wanna 🐕

hadn't fully caffeinated yet so i read this as "to keep your dog from driving" which tbh i also wouldn't trust it to do
