Confirmed - 1hr hot weather (pet) mode

[Ravensfan1996]

Also the shut off time reverts back to on, everytime to you turn off the car, so youll need to do that each time.

Also remember this isnt a true pet mode since you have no way of knowing the temp in the car, or if it shut off by mistake. Tesla app shows the temp in the car on their app.

You may want to place a sign in the window stating the air conditioner is running and the dog is comfortable. Otherwise, someone will report you and may try to break into the vehicle.

Not a bad idea. The instrument cluster is on with or cars vs a Tesla. It’s more obvious that the car is running.

This instructive image is important because you also want to turn off the rear occupant alert if you leave your fur baby in the back seat. For additional safety, you can use the app to lock the doors remotely.

I live in sunny and hot AZ. I remote start the car when it is triple digits outside to cool down before I get to it

If only Ford would just make this a feature ?. It seems so simple. Competitors have had it for YEARS.

Let's get real here. Other than Tesla, how has pet mode and how long have they had it?

Yep. Rivian introduced it ONE year ago. Lucid a month ago.

Does it do the obnoxious double honk when you do this?

Pressing the bottom 2 buttons on the door pillar simultaneously locks the car without the honk. I use it all the time because I frequently get home from work after midnight.

Have you tested that it doesn’t honk while the car is still on?

 

[SeattleSteveMe]

No, I haven't tried that.

It honks too quickly for me to even put my fingers on the door panel. Like when I’m literally standing right next to the door!

Does anyone happen to know roughly how much power it takes to leave the car on with A/C running?
