☑️ TRANSCRIPT ☑️
So for those of you who don’t know, Tesla Dog mode is a climate control feature that maintains a safe and comfortable temperature for your pet when you need to leave them in the car for a short period of time. For example if you are traveling around town with your pet and need to run a few errands, you can turn dog mode on and leave them in the car while you pick up groceries. Tesla Dog Mode was first introduced back in late 2018 after someone tweeted @elonmusk requesting that this pet-friendly feature be added to Teslas. In response to the tweet by John Atchley on October 18th Elon Musk simply replied "Yes". And just like that Dog Mode was born and since then it has been added to all Tesla vehicles via a software update. To access Dog Mode you simply go to the climate control settings by selecting the fan icon on the Tesla display and then choosing "Dog". In addition to keeping the climate safe and comfortable for your pet, Dog Mode also changes the Tesla screen to display a fun little message that says "My owner will be back soon. Don't worry! The AC/Heater is on and it's XX inside the car. This screen automatically shows up when you exit your Tesla and shut the door. This is a great addition because it helps to notify passerby's that your pet will not overheat in the summer for example or freeze in the winter. It is important to note that it specifically states on the Tesla display that Tesla Dog Mode is “For Pets” and to “Never leave a child unattended”. Another nice feature is that you can see that Dog Mode is active from your Tesla App, and it will even notify you if your car battery drops to 20%. I’ve found that running Dog Mode by itself will only drain about 2-3 miles of range for every half hour of use, and hopefully you aren’t leaving your pet in the car for long amount of time, so battery life shouldn’t be a concern. Dog Mode is just another example of how Tesla puts the consumer first and are always innovating to provide the best possible customer experience for their products. By the way, if you are interested in the awesome LED light harness for dogs I will leave a link in the description below. It can be changed to various colors and is great for walking your dog at night!

😀Love this feature! Use it all the time. I take my dog everywhere now! She loves getting out of the house and watching people go by.

The single reason I might buy one. Mine wants to go everywhere

Our Norwich terrier loves dog mode as well as your Norfolk seems to!

Does Dog mode lock the window switches so the dog can't accidently roll down the windows?

Had to like so Bodhi could get a carrot

Thanks for this video. Chewy has some cool light up LED leashes and collars too. I got some for my dachshunds, but I might get one of these harnesses too! My young and wild one likes to be all fancy. :)

Can you play your calm doggy playlist on Spotify while in Dog Mode ?

I love dog mode. I would never buy a non Tesla if it doesn’t have dog mode. Me and my pup use it all the time it’s an essential feature, a requirement for any car I own.

7.37am Monday April 2025. I am a pensioner in Australia. I would like to have my dog in the car if I do a quick shop. Can I purchase the Dog Model in Australia for my older car that is not a Tesla. I'm sure many people would purchase this Dog Model if available. Thankyou

What kind of dog is that? Is he hypoallergenic? Thanks

[petermcintosh]

How can I adjust the temperature of dog mode?

[penguinwithwifi]

With my luck, some dipwad would still smash my windows out.
