Wrong pin 3X

[MOE J]

I’m Wondering what happens when u enter the wrong pin to drive after 3 attempts?

Not sure how many attempts you get but the manual says

In the unlikely event that your touchscreen is unresponsive, you may be unable to enter the PIN. In this case, first try to restart the touchscreen (see Restarting the Touchscreen). If the touchscreen is still unresponsive, you can still bypass PIN to Drive by turning on Keyless Driving in the Tesla mobile app.

So if you forget your PIN, use the app to get around it I think. But writing down your PIN someplace like in a password manager or someplace secure probably not a bad idea.
