Tesla calls this gadget “The Reacher” and packs it in a classy box. Basically, it is a pair of tongs that cleaning staff or senior citizens like to use. The purpose of “The Reacher” is that Tesla drivers can press buttons in the entrance to parking garages, for example, without having to leave their seat.
