To put it into neutral you have to go completely expressionless, let your tongue hang out a little bit, and make sure your face is centered in front of the driver monitoring system
The employees often work in the wilderness doing things like trail maintenance, and they're often young free-thinkers. Dropping acid and going swimming like the author recounts does not sound out of the ordinary.
They may be at slightly higher risk than the average family of four, and they rack up dozens of visits every season.
It's not that simple, though. Even if we can't eliminate them, we can do a lot to minimize the risks involved in fun, dangerous activities.
Look at people like Ayrton Senna. Died doing what he loved, but he didn't have to, and the changes that his death inspired made F1 racing much safer without sacrificing the hair-raising speed. He also probably would have lived if the sport's governing body had learned from a prior serious crash on the ultimately fatal corner.
Personally, I still feel bad about deaths like that.
Didn't Senna also have some religious thing that led home to believe he might die that day, but still chose to race? If it the safety upgrades were so easily identifiable, then why didn't people demand them sooner?
The solutions implemented where only discovered/developed because of the crash. We can go back in time and see how many people would have been saved by seatbelts and airbags. I would guess there are additional future safety stuff that future people could look back on us the same way. It's just reality and I don't feel bad about that.
Multiple containers in different locations is a good idea, soft pouches can be more durable in some situations.
I once went bikepacking, and took a fall on a patch of soft sand partway to the campsite. When I got there, as the sun was setting off a dirt track in the desert, I opened my bag to find that my hard water bottle had ruptured and soaked the bag's contents. Without a camelback and silicone canteen which survived the fall, I might have had to use the SOS button.
Even more fortunately, I had organized most of my food/laundry/etc in large ziplock bags, which kept them dry. That was another useful lesson.
TBF, most automatic transmissions do this, and I think that Teslas only have one gear anyways.
Unless...please tell me they don't guess whether you want Park, Drive, Neutral, or Reverse?
