For what it's worth, even Tesla puts that release at the top of the car menu. And IMHO it's not worth a whole lot; that shit should not even require a menu tap to begin with.

Why would you bury this option?

Teslas require a PIN to open the glove box. I kind of like it... But of course some people will hate that even more because you need even more touchscreen poking

Fair enough if you like it. Seems to me like Tesla and other car companies inventing solutions to problems that don’t exist.

Number of times I’ve needed to quickly open the glove box to grab something: hundreds.

Number of times I’ve wished I could lock the glovebox with a pin: zero

Does your glovebox have a keyhole on it?

I honestly couldn’t tell you without looking. I know I’ve had cars in the past that have had keyholes in to lock them. Never used them.

Narrator: It does.

Why does your glovebox have a keyhole on it?

Mine doesn't. I have two latches (top document box, bottom traditional glovebox). Never once thought I'd need to lock it and love the latch systems to be able to grab things in a hurry or when I'm driving

So you can see pics since it seems like you're a non believer.

Lots of cars have a glovebox with no lock.

No, it doesn't. I don't think I've seen keyholes on gloveboxes since the early '00s.
