Does anyone know if the Tesla/Rivian pet mode have phone app telemetry? I mean, it would be super cool (no pun intended) to leave the car and know your doggies are being air conditioned,
Tesla lets you use the interior camera while in dog mode to look at your dog. I think it also shows it is in dog mode and the current temperature in the app.

Rivian tells you it is in dog mode via the app and the current temp. (same for “hold” mode for the HVAC), but doesn’t let you look at the interior camera.

I never thought about a scenario where one could use an interior camera to monitor your mutt (in pet mode). That’s really cool, and smart 🧠. Thanks for sharing
