  Except in the article here, they are counting on a driver connecting their phone to the wifi and logging in with Tesla credentials.

  In this instance you don’t need to disable anything in the car.

  Requiring email of phone numbers isn’t always something virtuous like stopping spam. It’s also often about first party data acquisition. Even if some people use burner accounts, most won’t, and that means more data to share with advertisers.

  Sometimes I like to think about the logistical challenges with a switch to metric. The one that always gives me pause is highway signs. Thinking about the monumental task of replacing every speed sign, distance sign, and mile marker across the country in any timely period makes my head hurt.

  It could certainly be done, and is probably easier than I think with all the state DoTs working independently on it especially over time. We have a lot of road with a lot of signs.
