Read this article this morning and thought some of the ideas presented and made available in these Chevys would be nice to have in our Tesla’s.

Buckle to Drive: Chevrolet has a new way to get teen drivers to wear a seat belt

You mean like this?

Going a step further than its ‘valet mode’, Tesla is now letting owners limit the speed of their cars with a new mobile app update alongside a vehicle software update.

Tesla owners with vehicle software version “2018.24 or above” and the latest mobile app update (Version 3.4.1) can now access a new speed limiter feature.

The automaker describes the feature in the update:

“Limit vehicle speed and acceleration with speed limit mode. Maximum vehicle speed can be set between 50-90 mph (80-145 km/h).”
Tesla could easily OTA the seat belt update, but it would need to be modified since the Tesla does not have a 'start' vs 'shift out of park' event.
