Today we went to the grocery store. When I came out to put a package in the Tesla 3 there was a notice on my phone that I had 30 seconds left on the remote start but after than I could push the button again. Curious. We knew nothing about the remote start or how it got started. We now have activated pin starting. Cheers,
