Looks like that was a few months ago. When they steal the Tesla, I wonder if the owner of the Tesla took his phone with him. Since the phone acts as the key, I don't think they would have gotten very far as the phone would lose BT connection with the car.
so what happens if the car and phone are separated?
Haha!
Yeah it was like 3 months ago. For some reason it popped up in my YouTube recommendations last night too.
Same here! I thought it just happened. And I thought it was in Southern California until I couldn't recognize the town names.

I don't think the phone has to be inside. Of course I don't know tesla but when I test drove, they started and let me go. They said as long as I don't open the door, it will stay on. So no long drive that requires restroom break. When I got back, it stayed on a little bit more when I opened then wouldn't drive again.
These young Michael-Shumacher-wannabe punks inevitably think they can evade the police.....and they often do, for a while, but, almost inevitably, fate catches up to them.

I'm not sure what happens if you activate the car with the phone inside and then move the phone outside of the car, I can try it out. Maybe it does allow you to drive until you open the door - it could be a safety feature in the event your phone battery dies and can't be recharged that the car wouldn't stop driving. I'll try it and report back.
Just got done lowering a 19 Tiguan, not really my type of car but I have to admit with the drop and spacers it looks good. Way better than stock and since it's not a real SUV anyway the lower stance is a great vibe

Better than stock lol! Doesn't make any sense to be as high as it is stock when it's just a car style suspension/body with crazy wheel gap
It looks like it has a blown air suspension. I don’t particularly like crossovers as I prefer SUVs….but I do think they look good stock. IMO of course.

To lower a crossover or SUV, though, more or less defeats the whole purpose of it. The whole concept of crossovers, particularly with AWD, is to give you added ground-clearance over the typical sedan or coupe, without the stiff road-manners of most body-on-frame trucks.

Measured ground clearance is not great in one of these stock and it's what he wanted so whatever, ruined the already poor ride IMO.
Went from about 6.5 inches to about 4 inches clearance overall, worse than my air cars by over 2 inches for clearance. That's why I call it pointless since it doesn't actually give any more ground clearance
I still think it looks better if not outright cool. Like a large wagon now
Did a belt on this car after replacing the trans, owner for some reason thought that the car has a 100k belt interval. I'm glad I checked it.... Idler was seized solid and the belt was simply dragging over it. Not bad for 187k miles but this is why the dealership sucks, they don't replace anything other than the belt in many cases. Old All replaced now, wear wasn't too bad but the trans was having a first gear bearing noise so needed to be replaced. Almost make it to 200k though so not bad considering zero service
The point of a vehicle like that isn't ground clearance its flexible utility over a sedan.
And it still has all of that. None of those aspects were changed, it just is now lower/riding more appropriate for what it actually is. It just a normal car not a real suv

So you'll get a giggle out of this, my business partner's new Silverado ZR2 got rear ended a month or so ago, it went in the shop today. Enterprise gave him a Chevy Spark with 60,000 miles on it lol. Little bit of a difference...
