If only there were a key-like device that could serve as a failsafe emergency object to sideline these logistical conundrums.

And we have gone full meta with ‘Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day’

This turned into a writers room all of a sudden. Loved it.

One of my all time favorite episodes came out of Glenn’s shitty day with his Tesla lmaoooo

Then he pulled Elon musks heart out

Rob is so tickled by Glenn's quirks. Good friends

You know what would solve for this? KEYS

“For all we know,it’s still there”

"Dennis Gets His Fob Fixed"

How about sending the car back to Tesla, demanding a full refund and then never ever even looking at any of their products again? These companies just keep getting rewarded for pushing this stuff and never get any repercussions for selling expensive junk.

I was ecstatic to see this come together in the show!

Glenn found himself in one of those wacky Larry David situations. Nothing can be done and there is no planning. It just, happens. Become the zen. Or whatever.

What he described as humanity being helpful during his situation is a prelude to the future inevitably of humans vs machines

I watched this episode previously and laughed a lot. I have since watched the episode that this story inspired. Currently watching again and enjoying just as much or more

That story had little resolution… “my car got towed, in need to fix the fob” very funny.

Cool to see this after the ep, can see how they wrote it

The real lesson here is just don't buy a Tesla

Holy shit is this how the Dennis has a mental health day episode was written?????!!!!! Cool to see the process and hear the reality of a situation become an iconic episode

Just get a Range Rover…Glenn looks like a Range Rover kinda guy for some reason🤷

There’s a solution to all this….they’re called keys!

This is a small thing, but next time a call center rep says they need to transfer you, ask for a "warm transfer". That's where they call over to the other department, and explain the sitution for you. That should minimize the need to be transferred so often.

Listen to your heart

I FIGURED IT OUT. No one tell Glenn my solution to this real world sudoku. What you do is by a walkie talkie and use that to relay over to another person outside of the parking structure so that the phone has signal, i am just now realizing the problem with the fob and that's the thing, it's just a matter of figuring out how to conduct signals to that area to the vehicle. I solved it, not practically but an attempt was made.

He also probably has the place where he chip has to be placed wrapped with some blocker. There are multiple ways to do this.

Call a tow truck which has wheel jacks, push the vehicle out of the garage to where yo have reception and go about your day. Easy peasy!

...for I am the Golden Prince! Begone with you! This is a finisher car!

Glenn is thankfully so much nicer and chiller than Dennis, which isn’t saying he’s totally chill and not a bit bonkers and completely unalike Dennis, but you know, it’s a relief. Also I don’t know why but I was hoping he’d have gone off for lunch but at the end he’s like he didn’t eat all day, that’s not great for you mental acuity in a situation like that! As someone who has Crohns and does that I know from experience not eating doesn’t help the situation in any way

You only need Bluetooth to connect the app to a Tesla…..I think he never paired his phone to the car.

Why people think they needed to replace their car keys with a FOB is beyond me.

Dude they messed with Glenn howerton Elon musk what are you doing

Tesla is such a junky car

11:04 Dennis came out

There's a reason why they call it trouble...shooting

Sir YOU chose to park your car in a garage💅🏻

I love smart lights

The story is better than the show they came up with. Should have been true to the actual version of events. Would have been much more engaging in the same vein as the Seinfeld episode waiting to be seated at the Chinese restaurant.

For the record this stuff was not designed for your safety, they are designed to look cool, and so that Tesla can really own your car.🙄🙄🙄🙄

So, my 07' corolla is better than a Tesla model X. NICE

I thought you drove a Range Rover?

Per Tesla's website, your phone does not need internet connection once its registered with your car, as it does use bluetooth to unlock it.

You can call 911 and saiy there’s a bomb in the car in the garage. pick the car up from police impound the next day. But for Dennis, the police blow the car up into 1 million pieces.

10:45 Can't breathe.

I dont know what happened to Glenn but using a phone as a tesla key doesn't require an internet connection. Works over Bluetooth LE.

F TESLA

Who?

Sheesh plenty of cars where I live and my Subaru have tow hooks, I wouldn't offer to tow you somewhere but could have definitely gotten it out of the garage no problem. I dont live in the sticks but I guess in the city it's not that common.

For "thousands" of years light switches and car key's have worked just fine :P

Meanwhile in Africa…

I am never buying an EV. And that’s not some climate change denial “fuck you, got mine” gonna roll coal on my lifted F-150 statement. I’m never buying an EV (especially a Tesla) because they’re made stupidly, they break easily, they’re known to burst into flames for no reason (especially Teslas), and they have numerous extra features that I don’t need and don’t want that jack up the price and rely on software that is just going to be abandoned in 7 years anyway. And these goddamn touchscreens they insist on everything relying on are just gonna break in within a decade anyways. And that’s the thing, they (the car companies *cough **_Tesla_** cough* , the tech/software companies, their shareholders) WANT them to break soon, they WANT the old apps and features to eventually become incompatible with newer tech because that forces you to buy the new versions. Not to mention how EVs are NOT the solution to climate change, trains and other mass transit are. And now here’s a tumblr post that sums up what I was trying to say much more succinctly: “‘smart appliances’ fuck u i want them dumb as a brick and incidentally as sturdy and enduring ‘it has an LCD and an app!’ that will be so fun in 7 years when everything still works except the dead screen and the abandoned software. ‘so many extra features’ so that's why it costs 3x more and has 1/5th the lifespan of the old model. ‘4 year extended warranty’ buddy where I'm from the dishwasher is a family heirloom and the washing machine helped raise us “ -@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses on tumblr Nov 18, 2023

And there is war going on

Thanks for the clip. Tried giving it a shot a few times and I loved the show but they are just too disconnected from normal life now I can’t relate. 👎 from me

This is why you drive a vehicle with a key generations are just becoming lazier and lazier
