The sheriff said Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped the investigation by having the truck unlocked after it auto-locked in the blast and giving investigators video of the suspect at charging stations along its route from Colorado to Las Vegas.
What if this hadn’t been purposeful but an accidental blast… and the doors auto-locked someone inside? Do you need Musk’s personal cell number to be able to get out alive? What even is this?
Seriously, how are Tesla’s not widely considered dangerous deathtraps at this point.
Teslas always are, not even joking. It’s supposed to ensure the drivers are “attentive”, but it is angled to record the entire interior/ “cabin”.

I hope taping over them does not turn off the car
Obstructing the cabin camera will cause the car to periodically “nag” the driver to apply torque to the steering wheel while the automatic steering system is engaged, depending on the vehicle’s speed
Ahh, ye fair enough. I think that’s a better indicator of the driver being awake than a camera.
If I have learned anything about safety features. They probably do.
If that’s the case, I wonder how tesla is going to defend knowingly selling a vehicle that leads to innattention
