Only those who are foolish (anywhere) and law-breaking (in many jurisdictions). Don't leave kids or pets in the car. Period.
It isn't a matter of being foolish. It's about how our brains are wired to do routine tasks without conscious input from us and how a confluence of a bunch of factors can coalesce into an incredibly tragic accident by short circuiting our brains. There are some excellent articles and studies available online about the phenomenon.
I hope not. I think of it as more of a milestone.Hands-on AP is a ... temporary millstone on the path to full autonomy.
Do you have 8.0 installed? Is Nav okay now? That's not the reports I'm hearing. Same with MP. All these nagging issues would be solved with CarPlay and leave Tesla's development team free for other things.
And one new feature I really dig is ability to listen to podcasts from the 17" screen
All I get from Tesla's 8.0 page is a button to "experience 8.0" that leads to a page to schedule a test drive. Not useful.
Can you elaborate on this capability? Is there a way to access the podcasts already on my phone? Can I download to the car?
I haven't used V8 yet so I cannot answer your question. Have you used V8?
No he looks more like an early Dan lover maybe Bodhisattva or Boston Rag from Countdown to Ecstacy.Clearly not Aja -- he doesn't look chill enough for that
Is this an "always on" thing, or does it have to be enabled? One may waste your battery for nothing, the other requires about as much work as the existing mechanism (chances are you're not leaving your dog or kids alone in the car for hours, and the existing mechanism works for 30 minutes). Either way, using this feature and leaving a child or dog in the car is going to put you at high risk of having your windows smashed in by a passer-by.
For the safety concious and forgetfullness of parents it is better to be on as a default. I will see if it eats much battery and decide whether to turn it off or not. For now i'll leave it on. As crazy as it sounds parents do forget their child is in the car, I have seen it happen and often dog owners may not realize how hot a cars interior can get.Also the cabin overheat protection thing is on by default. I feel it shouldn't be. I don't mind the car overheating if nobody is inside, but I do mind it chewing up batteries. There should be an option, controllable by phone, "Keep car at 76F for the next 2 hours" .. etc.
I have 8.0 installed. Nav is working great for me.
And one new feature I really dig is ability to listen to podcasts from the 17" screen. So instead of subscribing to them on my phone, remembering to download them, now I can just .. well . listen to them in my car, over freebie internet.
Also, I am sure when Tesla decides to implement carplay, Apple would enforce conditions on Tesla.
- Licensing ($) - so it may not be a free update.
- Apple may request Tesla that carplay be the only mechanism, i.e. Tesla cannot run autopilot software in parallel to carplay.
My point is, there are probably some very good reasons why carplay hasn't been implemented, I think Elon knows we want carplay.
Sans carplay, if as a free update, we got screen mirroring, media browsing from phone, notification integration, and "send address to car" - I'd be happy.

If anything, this sounds more like a feature designed solely to grab headlines than an actual useful feature. In my opinion, anyway. And I have both kids and dogs.
What existing mechanism? When I get out of the car, even while supercharging, climate control shuts off and interior temp starts climbing. I have seen people post complicated means of keeping it on - sit in passenger seat and press climate button, leave door only partially closed, etc., but how an you passively get 30 minutes of AC?
I have this exact same experience. I have always assumed that it's like this for everyone, but from some of the other posts in this thread, maybe I'm wrong. Do others find that simply resting their hands comfortably on the bottom of the wheel is sufficient to avoid the "Hold Steering Wheel" prompt or to dismiss it when it appears?
For me, even though I'm always holding the wheel, I still get the prompt on every curve, and I have to "jiggle" the wheel to make it go away.
