Federal regulations force Tesla to nix automatic window closure and app control options from its cars

[Redaktion]

Tesla car owners would no longer be able to count on their windows closing automatically as they lock the vehicle and walk away from it, neither could they use the remote closure and Vent modes from the app. The culprit appears to be a new overzealous regulation change in Section 5 of the federal vehicle safety standard.

Call your local law makers and tell them that NHTSA has to go! This is the land of the free! #f***thespeedlimit

So, nhtsa is telling me that I can't have the Tesla that I paid for? They ignore lots of safety issues to allow the sale of trucks. Ever try to see around them? Are their headlights too high? No, ya gotta sell trucks.

This is absurd. Nothing like a little over-regulation.

Has anyone actually had this feature and then lost it via software update? It doesn't seem so based on all the forums I read. It seems like it's just not available on new car deliveries.
