A CHEATING husband has shared his fears of being caught out by his car due to a fancy new feature.
The love rat took to social media to warn other unfaithful partners that a motor-related app could be their downfall.
A cheating husband has been left living in fear that is car could expose his infidelityReuters
Posting on Reddit, he complained that “cars are getting too damn smart these days”, putting his affair in jeopardy.
The cheater wrote: “If you’re interested in buying a Tesla, just be aware that your partner can see your location on the Tesla app, as well as how fast you’re driving.
“[It also shows] if you’re parked, where you’re parked and even where you are in the f****** car with heat map in case you’re hoping to turn up the temperature in the backseat.”
The app developed by the Elon Musk-led manufacturer has a wide array of features, including acting as the key to the car.
However, for those trying to go behind their spouse’s back some of these can cause real trouble.
The app can show you the motor’s location, track its journeys and even show how many passengers are inside, all at the push of a smartphone button.
It can even be used to put the car into “sentry mode”, activating both internal and external cameras.
The dishonest hubby, a man in his 40s, told The Daily Mail: “I can’t say I was surprised.
“It is seriously loaded with tech features, but made me think it may not work for someone who needs more discretion.”
He added that he hadn’t been caught yet but was putting out the warning to “make others aware” of the risks.
Commenters on his post, which appeared in a Reddit adultery forum, offered a range of possible solutions.
One suggested using a bus or taxi to get to illicit encounters, while another cheekily pointed out that electric charging facilities are often located near motorway services or hotels.
Although some went a bit further in suggesting trading the vehicle in for one with less potentially revealing tech – though that may be a hard one to explain at home.
Tesla has been contacted for comment.
It comes after the latest data heralded bad new for dangerous drivers, with the number of dashcam videos sent to cops rising by 77% in just two years.
Meanwhile, Brits were urged to “walk away” from used car deals if they don’t see a “critical document”.
