Tesla Model 3 Owners Locked Out of Cars Thanks to App Outage

The Tesla Model 3 is the budget offering in Tesla’s lineup, but it’s still jam-packed with fancy technology like custom driver profiles, autonomous driving, and a top speed of 162 miles per hour. You can even control the car from the smartphone app. That app support is usually a selling point, but it was a big problem for some Tesla owners over the weekend. The company experienced an app outage that left some Model 3 owners unable to use their vehicles for hours

Unlike most cars, the Tesla Model 3 doesn’t have a key. In fact, you don’t even get a key fob with the car like other Teslas. Tesla has designed the experience around the smartphone app, which supports passive entry (the doors automatically unlock) and remote operation. The included key cards don’t do that, either. You have to physically tap the card on the door to open it and on the dash to start the car. Naturally, many Model 3 owners have gotten used to just relying on the phone to access their vehicles.

Yet, Spinner isn’t one to participate in “tribalism”.  That’s just for mouth breathers screaming about sleds and sports teams.

Ahh....to believe oneself an elitist now that fall is here.....

Tesla fan boi's are as bad as Apple fan boi's.

Insurance companies invest heavily in actuarial science and they have just as much data available to them as Tesla does if not more.  And where exactly would the Tesla vehicle sensor data help in the premium determination?  Its ability to supply parts at cost?

Under Insured Coverage - Nope

Liability - Nope

Medical - Nope

Comprehensive - Nope

Roadside - Nope

Collision - Here they would have a very small advantage IF they were to handle all parts replacement.  I hope they have an awesome logistics arm too.

 

I'll stick with Buffett's take...

The new employee I work with a lot ,worked at the Tesla body shop in the Burbs of Chicago for 3 years. It was owned and operated by Tesla. He has a lot of stories about Tesla. He speaks highly about the cars. Working for Tesla,not so good.
