Intoxalock on Tesla Retest Lockout from software update while car was off and unoccupied
My Tesla software update triggered a rolling retest while I wasn’t even in the car. The data log shows the car was turned off, then hours later the retest violation occurred without the car ever being “started”. The tesla is always “on” like as if in a traditional car the key was turned once in the ignition so the radio would turn on (for example). To start the car you merely get in with your phone and press the break. Thus, I have to blow before hitting the break to start the car with the device but I can sit in the car with the radio on without it triggering the device.
The retest is only supposed to trigger after the car is started but somehow when the software installed, the device prompted for a retest. It doesn’t make sense bc the car was never started to trigger the retest requirement. I don’t understand how intoxalock can treat this as a violation when the car was never turned on (into a drivable mode) in the first place. Has anyone else dealt with this?
I think it’s fundamentally unfair for intoxalock to advertise as Tesla compatible if it can’t distinguish between software updates and starting the car. They are telling me they won’t invalidate the violation and it will be sent to the DMV who will be able to suspend my license at their discretion. I’m so upset I can’t believe this is happening when I literally did nothing wrong. Not to mention its already cost me $122.
