This car has a unique feature - your children will no longer wake up in the middle of a journey.
Those who have children know this. Car journeys are never a bed of roses. Unless you succumb to the lure of screens, which, like alcohol for adults, should be consumed in moderation by children, it's difficult to travel in peace. It must be said that young children aren't made to sit around doing nothing and can quickly become bored. For parents, the only moment of respite comes when they fall asleep. Unfortunately, these precious moments never last long enough.
The fault lies with the various noises that can occur at any moment on the road and wake our toddlers. New technologies in modern vehicles to increase passenger comfort and safety don't help. The beeping of sensors and the endless audible warnings to signal a new speed limit, a lane departure, or an overspeeding do nothing to improve peace and quiet in the car. Much to the chagrin of parents who sometimes rely on car journeys to help their children catch up on a few hours of lost sleep...
One car manufacturer, and not just any car manufacturer, has understood the importance of the issue before others. Tesla, owned by the much-maligned American billionaire Elon Musk, has recently been equipping its cars with a feature that prevents children from waking up during long journeys. To do this, simply activate "Joe Mode," a reference to the name of Joe Modzeleski, the brand's vehicle safety manager. This allows you to significantly reduce the volume and intensity of all unnecessary audible alerts.
Safety features remain active, but their notifications become more subtle so as not to disturb the sleep of sleeping passengers. The "Joe Mode" function is accessible via the vehicle's touchscreen. It allows you to keep the many driver aids in place while making them more gentle. A real treat for families, but not only. Some Tesla drivers, tired of the incessant alerts that punctuate their journeys, even use it when they're alone in the car.
