 
Security: always just a touch away. The VDS (Visual Display System) gives you access to a host of security functions, including engaging Valet Mode and PIN lockout.

SecurityWhen you make an open roadster with eye-catching lines and jaw-dropping performance, security is a key concern. Here are the features we‘ve incorporated to safeguard both the vehicle and the driver. Customized PINEnter your unique PIN, and the car will start. Without it, the car won‘t budge. This simple detail means there‘s no way to hot-wire the car. Valet ModeWhen dropping off your Tesla Roadster at a hotel or restaurant, preventing joy rides is simple. Just tap on the on-board display to put the car into Valet Mode. Until you type in your PIN to release it, the security system limits the car‘s range, acceleration, and speed. Charging IntelligenceWe‘ve outfitted both the car and the charging unit with computers that talk to each other. No power will begin transferring unless both computers agree that the charging cable is correctly attached. If ever there is tension on the cord (from pets, kids, bicycles, and other items that may pass through your garage), the charger disengages immediately. Even the battery box is self-regulating and protecting. It‘s programmed to prevent overcharging, and will shut itself down should it ever become immersed in water, detect smoke, or if it senses that the car‘s airbags have deployed. | |
