Not sure why they called this new feature "Joe Mode". Who is this Joe? An employee? Why not call it quiet mode?


I may be incorrect, but I recall it being about someone on Twitter had sent a message to Elon asking if they could turn down the volume of the alerts because it would wake up their kids while they were driving. His name was Joe. So Tesla implemented “Joe Mode”.



They wouldn’t say this, but I’m guessing it’s a sly reference to Sleepy Joe (Biden).
