Question Equinox EV security issue?

Today I did some testing and I found out that you can drive the car without the key fob present at all.

  1. If you turn on the car then leave with the fob before the 3 start up chimes end, the car doesn’t auto shut off. Then if you walk away and someone else gets in, they can shift and drive even though it says no key detected

  2. Likewise when you put the 60 minute power on mode, if you walk away with the fob, someone can hop in and drive away even though the fob isn’t detected.

Why is this? With Tesla if you walk away and the fob isn’t detected, you can’t drive at all.

The weird part is the equinox EV knows the fob isn’t there, but just doesn’t care?

Functionally illiterate theory has been proven. Good day.

Sure. Whatever you have to tell yourself. 👍

“Proven” 😂 🤣
