Love the remote Honk on the Tesla app

[Intohouse]

So I’ve now decided one of the best features of the Tesla is the ability to honk the horn remotely using the app.

I realise this might sound ridiculous, but you need to understand the context.

My kids love sitting in my car playing Atari games, while I am going into various stores (drug, coffee, etc). So after about 10mins, I casually pull up the app, and press “Honk”....it scares them silly + everyone in the parking lot thinks there nuts...especially when you honk a few times.

Thanks Tesla for allowing me another fantastic bonding experience with my kids

Now your kids can hate you for a reason none of the poor kids can

I can never remember where I parked when I go to Costco so I use the remote horn feature to find my car.

Wish there was a remote fart button on the app

Our college-age son was staying at our house last summer while we were away. It was fun to honk the horn in the garage to freak him out by remote control.

I used to do that with my 2004 Mazda 3 by using the key fob button. Unfortunately, the Tesla key fob has no such button and my cell phone is not a smart phone. It's unfortunate that Tesla assumes that everyone has or will get a smart phone; I do not want one!

They usually make those phones obsolete as technology grows and force you get a smartphone. In 5 years everyone will be on a 5G network, like China since 2016.

That is a pretty unusual combination to own a high tech Tesla and not have a smart phone. I don’t think there are lot of you out there. In fact, you might literally be the only one.

Horn???? I didn't hear a horn.

no smart phone, but you bought a smart phone on wheels? That’s interesting to me. You’re a unicorn.

You can use the Location feature to find the car. It's accurate to about 10 feet...
