Tesla 發佈 「狗狗模式」 讓你的愛犬在車內保持涼快。
電動車的寧靜程度有時令人很難判斷是否在運行，如果剛巧狗狗在車內便可能令路過的愛狗之人擔心冷氣究竟有否在運作。Tesla 早於2016年已發佈了 「車箱過熱保護」 功能，保障兒童或寵物安全。 Tesla 在其 v8 軟體這樣描述該功能:
“In an industry-first safety measure, we’re also introducing Cabin Overheat Protect, focused on child (and pet) safety. This feature keeps the car at a safe temperature for hours, even when the car is off. This feature is only made possible by an electric vehicle with Tesla’s uniquely large battery packs.”
現在 Tesla 跟據車主去年在Twitter的建議，在這功能的基礎上打造了 「狗狗模式」 (Dog mode) ，並正逐步推送更新:
據了解，啟動「狗狗模式」後系統將設定一個令狗狗舒服的車廂溫度，同時在顯示屏顯示字句 "My owner will be back soon (我的主人很快便回來)" 及車廂內的溫度，讓途人不必擔心。以下是 Tesla「狗狗模式」的簡介:
Keep your dog comfortable in your car while letting people passing by know they don’t need to worry with Dog Mode. In addition to keeping the climate control on, the touchscreen will display the current cabin temperature. To enable Dog Mode, tap the fan icon at the bottom of the touchscreen when your car is parked. Set Keep Climate On to DOG, make adjustments within temperature limits, then leave knowing your pet will stay comfortable. Dog Mode will stay on after you leave your car. If you your battery reaches less than 20% charge, you will receive a notification on your mobile app.
Note: Check local laws for any restrictions on leaving pets unattended in your car.
另外，Tesla 亦將開始推送「哨兵模式」 (Sentry mode), 通過更新軟體防止闖入和盜竊。
