How Does Dog Mode Work On The Tesla Model 3?
Tesla is the only car manufacturer that offers this facility for owners of pets, specifically to keep them safe from excessive heat or cold inside the car.
Well first you need a pet, so today I managed to borrow a lovely dog named Solo for the film shoot - not named after the Man From Uncle, by the way!
For dog fans Solo is a 16 week-old, super friendly Cocker Spaniel. He’s inquisitive, downright nosey at times and a complete goofball. He loves his squeaky pig toy, squabbling with the cat and sniffing out snails. His favourite movie is Return of the Jedi, mainly because of the Ewoks, although he has yet to view the latest Star Wars films. Oh, and he's recently developed a liking for flip-flops. He’s a frequent subject of discussion on the Camera Shake Podcast, available on all major podcast platforms as well as on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2EoMS5C
So back to the car and Dog Mode is as an extension of Tesla’s Cabin Overheat Protection Mode, which automatically cools the cabin if it reaches a high temperature in order to keep babies or pets safe, according to Musk. Dog Mode is a more proactive setting that the owner can refine. It automatically keeps the interior temperature cool and puts a message on the car’s touchscreen to tell passersby that the dogs are okay, and that their “owner will be back soon.”
To activate dog mode you go into your Air Conditioning Settings and you have the following options: On / Off / Dog Mode / Camp Mode
Set the temperature range - somewhere between 19 -25 centigrade is best. This will give a broad range to keep your pet cool or warm depending on the environment. After setting that,
turn on Dog Mode and exit car. The screen will tell everyone who looks in that your pet is safe and there is no need to break a window to let air in. That's the key feature.
