Tesla is celebrating the 2nd year of the Dog Mode feature since they initially released it to enable owners to leave pets inside a vehicle and post a sign that it is safe for them to stay inside the vehicle despite the heat. The feature brings active airconditioning and maintains the cabin temperature to prevent suffocation and heating up under direct sunlight.
The anniversary of Dog Mode commemorates the ingenious suggestion of a user that asked for Tesla to create a software update that keeps the engine on idle and saves batteries while keeping a living creature cool inside. The suggestion was answered by Tesla by 2019 s introduction of the feature, which is animal-friendly and assists car owners.
