I was notified by Samsung that my new washing machine had a recall because the control module could overheat and a firmware fix would prevent any damage. It required me to download the Samsung Smart Things App to my phone, create a Samsung account, connect my washing machine to my WiFi using the app and wait for the washer to decide to download the firmware fix.
Connecting a washing machine to the WiFi/Internet made me feel slimy.
An emergency is a valid concern and I believe all cars, regardless of Tesla, that feature electronic (fancy) doors also feature physical escape latches. In the Model 3 you can pull up on a handle on the door to force the door open without the power required to first roll down the window to clear the weather seal this will also unlock the door as well.
From your own linked article:
> Juhta criticized the emergency protocol for Tesla’s electric cars, saying that it isn’t intuitive enough.
Which is kinda ironic to me considering anytime a new rider is in my car I make sure to tell them about pressing the small button to open the door because they seem to find that escape latch on their own and often think it's just a regular open door latch.
I know it's personal preference but I think a good number of people don't know they will be fine without 15 buttons on the steering wheel or 10 different buttons for climate control. I haven't missed any of that moving to a Model 3.
For anyone who doesn’t want to watch the video the key differences that made Gamers Nexus cables better than what Igor showed was GNs cables were 300V rated vs 150V and the solder joints where the cable meets the connector bus bar was higher quality.
