I have never understood people on this site hassling others for wanting a tweak, a feature or, in this case, an affordable hatchback. What skin is it on your back if you wouldn’t want such a thing to let others speak of their support?!? If you’re not interested, why do you imagine anyone cares?

I totally agree. Where am. Supposed to put my dogs, on the white pleather?

That really doesn’t explain the defensive, aggressive nastiness of some of the replies I got. I LOVE this tweak that Tesla made. I feel badly that there are people who would never feel safe leaving their cars unlocked even in their own garage. But for those same people to think, “Because I...

I’d been wondering the same thing since I made the OP. Such antagonism in defense of their god Elon. Sycophants you think?

I can’t say how excited I am that Tesla finally added the missing feature to exclude a home location from the walk away lock function, as I can with Sentry mode. And I’m sorry that there are so many who live in areas where they can’t even leave their car in their own garage, without fear of...

AND, they're walking on the wrong side of the road! Were you driving or in self drive mode? Because, if it was all you, great reflex!

Either I didn't notice when I took delivery or it has just become increasingly obvious. My M3 has a very textured appearance in the paint job. Anybody else notice this? It's hard to capture it directly, but you can really tell by the distortion in the reflected image.

It turns out you're right! My son is a cyber security specialist and does a lot of programming. He said writing a code to exclude certain locations from the walk away lock function (as they did for Sentry Mode recently) is a couple minutes work tops and über easy. Maybe Tesla should hire him?

Thanks for being so helpful.

Stellavator, thank you SO much for your analogy. You defined what I simply could not understand when I read some of the responses I got! For some reason, I stopped getting notified of posts to this thread (perhaps a blessing?), but when I saw the new Sentry Mode update allowing location...

Remembering to grab a card would be the same to me as remembering to grab my phone when I return to my car to unload more things. I've just disabled the function altogether for now.

While I'm walking away from my car, I fish my phone out of my purse, open the app on my phone and tap the lock icon. It usually takes more like 5 seconds for the app to engage.

It solves the issue of my car locking automatically, but not the need to be having to use my phone all the time. My thinking when I purchased the vehicle was that if the phone thing became too cumbersome, I'd get the fob. But I didn't realize that the fob was old school and that you have to...
