A humorous prank in a Tesla is causing a stir on the Internet. A young woman’s boyfriend put the vehicle into “dog mode” while she was napping.
Hugrun Hannesdottir, a 27-year-old Icelandic woman who now lives in the United States, amused millions of internet users when she posted on the social media platform TikTok how her boyfriend left her sleeping in the car. As she explained to Newsweek, the whole thing was meant as a joke.
The video shows Hannesdottir waking up in a dark car. The dashboard screen showed a cartoon dog and a safety message: “My driver will be back soon. Don’t worry! The heating is on and it’s 20 degrees Celsius.” The young woman commented, laughing: “He put me in dog mode.”
According to Tesla, the “Dog Mode” they introduced is designed to alert passersby that a dog left in a locked car is safe and at a comfortable temperature. However, Elon Musk’s company points out that this feature is not suitable for humans.
Hannesdottir told Newsweek that her boyfriend told her he wanted to make sure the air quality and temperature in the car were comfortable. The video has been viewed more than 3.7 million times and has received over 900,000 likes. Users’ reactions to the video were extremely positive, with many praising the young woman’s boyfriend as “husband material.”
