I mean, if Tesla thinks the guy is the owner, then he should be able to know where it is and control it. If he was no longer the owner, they should have updated that with Tesla.
Yeah sounds like a simple case
It’s not about who is the owner. They both were. It’s about the fact that Tesla only supports having 1 owner, and the husband set himself up as the owner and added the wife as an additional driver.
Honestly, I don’t see a good way out of this without adding a feature that only the profile that unlocked the car last being able to see where it is. That’s not a feature they have, nor are legally required to provide.
The honor system nature of restraining orders allowed the abusive husband to break the restraining order. They just make it extra illegal when the restrained person goes ahead and commits whatever crime they were going to commit anyway.
Wait a minute. The cars can barely drive, and now you want them to enforce the law???
That is the most insane shit I’ve ever heard.
Imagine if your self driving car refused to take you to certain areas due to government orders.
And then crashed into a motorcycle because self driving cars don’t work and you were supposed to be paying attention even though it’s marketed as self driving.
Tesla told the woman that it could not remove her husband’s access to the car’s technology because his name remained on the vehicle’s title as a co-owner, along with hers, according to records she filed in her lawsuit.
This sounds like a problem courts needed to resolve, not Tesla. They don’t reasonably know which spouse has legal possession of the car.
