Tesla Motors Club
Hi All,
I am waiting for my Model 3 to be delivered, but I want to know how good the security is. My Nissan Leaf can be started by sitting in it with the key in my pocket, but if it is in drive mode and I put the keys outside the car, I can still drive off. I don't know how far I could drive, but I got easily to the end of my road (400 yards) without the key. This makes it easy for carjackers! Has Tesla got any such issues? Is it possible to track the car at all times with the onboard GPS to a secure website? That would be useful for 2 things, one is making sure the wife has the dinner ready for when I get in (yeah, right!), and two, if some horrible little oik steals it somehow without the keys, then it would be really easy to track and retrieve.
I know this may be an affordable car, but it will still be the most money I have ever spent on anything apart from buying my house, so I want it to stay exactly where I leave it.
Any thoughts?
