Guys do you know if the rear seats on 2022 Model S get locked when you exit the car? As some of you may know quarter window break-ins are skyrocketing in NorCal.

Literally just burst out laughing. Though jokes aside, now I think of it, that's probably the most valuable thing that can be removed relatively easily.
lolll! They are looking into the trunk & then breaking the rear big window to steal things like golf sets or laptops. I lost a golf set to this quarter window theft on my 2017 Model S.

Just curious: How do they unlock the doors through the quarter window? Are the door handles still active? Maybe need to enable child protection lock.

I tested with the car locked and rear passenger door window down. 2021 MSLR. I was able to reach in and unlatch the seat. I was also able to open the door by pushing the interior release button. Tried again with child protection enabled and was still able to unlatch the seat but not open the door.
Easy solution -- don't leave things like that in plain view. Plus, I'm not sure how having the rear seats locked would prevent a thief from simply reaching overtop the seats and taking whatever is in the hatch.
Without anything on the rear seat or the top hatch, they are still breaking the quarter window, dropping the rear seat hoping to find something valuable in the trunk.
