Elon Musk vows to fix 'dog mode' in Teslas after cooling system almost cost a dog's life
On Wednesday, Unikrn CEO Rahul Sood revealed in a tweet that he had left his pooch inside his Tesla while he temporarily stepped out in Seattle when the car’s “Dog Mode” unexpectedly malfunctioned.
“@elonmusk @Tesla warning about dog mode… It’s hot as all hell in Seattle,” Sood, 46, wrote. “Today I used dog mode and luckily I kept the app open, to my horror the car was 85 degrees and climbing!”It's hot as all hell in Seattle.
According to Teslarati, “Dog Mode” was developed as a result of hundreds of dogs suffering from heat strokes while their owners left them in a car to do a “quick errand.” To make things even more convenient, “Dog Mode” will notify passersby of the pup’s safety by displaying a large message on the center touch screen that reads “My owner will be back soon. Don’t worry! The A/C/heater is on and it’s [temperature].”In April, Musk released an auto-tuned rap tribute to the late gorilla Harambe in a short song uploaded to his SoundCloud account. The two-minute track was uploaded to the site under the faux label Emo G Records and shared to Musk’s Twitter.
