Bluetooth Radio Off Option

Closed

Description –

Offer an option to turn off Bluetooth.

Competitive/Pricing/Notes

There is a growing population of people who are experiencing the unintended consequence of RF technology who have become sensitive to RF exposure over time. This is documented in Sweden and Germany. Known as EHS (Electro Hyper Sensitivity). Symptoms include pressure headaches, nausea, fatigue, heart palpitations. There needs to be a feature in the menu that actually powers down all Bluetooth sources in the Tesla. Currently, you can only un-pair a device, but the Bluetooth radios remain ON. This would allow people who are sensitive to near-field RF to still be able to enjoy the benefits of owning and driving a Tesla.

Moderator: We are unaware of anyone being affected by Bluetooth. It’s an extremely low-level signal.

Status

We’re going to close this out as it’s our opinion that Bluetooth RF levels are so low relative to other RF signals as to be in the noise.
