It's so easy to spend money just being on here as there's so many good builds and cool mods to chose from. You could always save some money and just plug in an LED nightlight to the 110 outlet to kill the ASS. That way you can spend that $100 on something else. :wink: Sounds like it time to name yours Money Pit 2. lol
I want to do this but I think my kids will hit the outlet cover and snap it off if it’s always open…

That single feature would make the app worthwhile. So, don't get your hopes up. :D
You'd think it would show your the locked status of the vehicle...I know you can always just hit lock on the app if you don't remember if you locked it or not but some visual aid would let you know right away

I think I remember my son telling me on a Tesla he had that when he brought it home from the dealer his battery range was the same as the extended batter range (which he didn't purchase), and after the first pushed update his battery range was down to what it was rated on the sticker.

So it makes me think a lot of electronic capabilities are in a lot of vehicles (cheaper to mass produce and quicker assembly (no custom build sheets), and services will be activated via an app.

So Holiday Splash screens (which Tesla does) are all pushed - along with who knows what - or worse yet - Who knows what data they are gathering and tracking. :bandit:

Kind of like enabling some FX4 features on a regular 4x4 such as trail control and terrain management. Just need to add the selector.

Like how Apple slows down older phones when the new version comes out.
