> The feature raises fresh questions about whether Tesla is compromising safety as it rushes to add new technologies.

> 'Not long after buying a Tesla Model 3 this summer, Vince Patton saw a YouTube clip - https://youtu.be/7ZZjF6ZUKCc - highlighting a feature that took him by surprise: three video games that can be played on the large touch screen mounted in front of the dashboard -- while driving down the road.

> “I thought surely that can’t be right,” Mr. Patton, a retiree in Lake Oswego, Ore.
> 
> But in a parking lot, he gave it a try, and he was able to play a solitaire game on the Model 3 while in motion. “I only did it for like five seconds and then turned it off,” he said. “I’m astonished. To me, it just seems inherently dangerous.”'
