To your point about the start/stop button; would this not be an anti-theft / security feature? Otherwise, what would stop someone who broke in from just driving away with the vehicle?

You obviously have way more experience with various EVs than I do, but just curious your thoughts in that regard.

The same way any vehicle doesn’t let people just drive off… a key. Either in the form of a key fob/key card… Or a phone key paired to the vehicle.

this was also my thought. I don’t care what it’s designed to do - I want a goddamn off button for my car lol

  It won’t move without a proximity key/app.
