A car owner recently managed to prevent his car from being towed even though he was out of town, all thanks to the Tesla app. The interaction, reposted on TikTok by analicialosoya, shows the owner using their Ring camera and remote car controls to coordinate with a construction worker. The video reached over 2.3 million views and highlights how useful modern vehicle apps can be in certain situations. However, since this is a repost, other details aren’t available.
The video starts with the construction worker approaching the door camera. He seemed ready to argue, but the owner, speaking through the camera, quickly explained his predicament. He told the worker, “Yeah… I’m not in Los Angeles, bro. But I unlocked the car. You guys can move it.” The worker was surprised, but the owner confirmed, “If you get in the car, you should be able to drive it. I don’t know if any of you know how to drive a Tesla, but I turned it on, and I unlocked it.”
