It turned out it is quite easy to do with iOS shortcut. Just use the Repeat shortcut to achieve that.

Not an issue if you are just doing honk and flashlight. Also, sentry sound can be disabled.

I didn't need to use it in my previous ICE car but I didn't need to sit and charge. Having panic alarm in my key fob gives me peace of mind even though I've been fortunate not to use it in my ICE car. Time has changed the last few years and the criminals get emboldened. Carjacking happened in...

I am trying to emulate panic alarm to be used remotely or while sitting in the car.

Currently, Tesla doesn't allow you to trigger the car alarm manually. But Tesla app provides shortcuts to do honk, flash light, etc. So I am wondering whether it is feasible to create a shortcut to repeat honk and flash light for X number of times to emulate the alarm. Has anyone done...

Then they will likely charge you. I replaced mine last month (3 years mark) and asked the SC to preemptively replace it. They said mine didn't have any battery warning message and will not be replaced for free under warranty.

I too had the same issue. I even asked the mobile technician whether Tesla app is sending a bunch of diagnostics data to Tesla server. I quit Tesla app and rebooted my phone after the service was performed.

Of course you can honk repeatedly. But my point is why not have one button to do it. And it allows you to call 911 while the alarm goes off. The alarm plays psychology effects on the bad guy whether you think people ignore car alarms or not. Otherwise, people won't be installing alarm for...

It can be used as a deterrent from inside the car or out of it. With Tesla mobile app, you can monitor remotely to look around your car and if you see suspicious activities, you can manually trigger the alarm. Today, the Tesla alarm will go off only if someone breaks the window. But usually...

Well, I think a panic alarm feature will be a great feature to have for security when you need to charge at supercharger at night in the area that isn't so safe. I charge at home normally but people have to use supercharger when traveling and you can't always tell how safe the area is.

Do people think Tesla software team consists of many young kids? Every car manufacturer has panic alarm feature for their car for security. And yet, Tesla software team spent their time on fart sound and light show that don't matter much to Tesla owners.

Probably efficiency.

Has anyone had experience with this wheel cover from Yeslak? I heard they are difficult to remove like other brands compared to the OEM cover. I do like the gun grey color which is unique. I know this cover is directional but it is hard to believe that it gains 15 miles. Is it possible?

Musk is too busy with twitter. That's why.

Take it to Elon directly on twitter.
