.... and when you pull over to take a picture of the beautiful
landscape, you discover you cannot restart your Tesla with your phone,
because you are out of cell phone coverage. :-(

Yup. And a lot easier to slip into your pocket, considering the ludicrous
size of today's tablets-masquerading-as-mobile-phones.
>From what I've read, you can own and drive Teslas and other EVs without
using a smartphone, though you might lose some features. (In some EVs, some
of the features may still be available from the car touchscreens.)
But every now and then I read about some new prototype EV where there are
few or no normal driving controls, with nearly everything controlled from
your smartphone that you slip into a holder on the instrument panel while
driving. Eh, no thanks.
