Tesla drivers say they have been locked out of their cars after an outage struck the carmaker’s app.

Dozens of owners posted on social media about seeing an error message on the mobile app that was preventing them from connecting to their vehicles.

This will happen to banks as well as more and more people have their credit cards on their phone.

Thanks I prefer cash it even works if there is no power.

Edit: I changed the title, the BBC implies that all or near all drivers couldn’t start their car but it’s just those who start it with the app.

    Why involve a phone at all? What’s wrong with a key? Or RFID? Or fingerprint scanner?

      I think what he meant was more about letting the user choose instead of imposing arbitrary proprietary standards that don’t have the user benefits in mind but the companies interests.

      Fewer things to carry around, I guess.
