I've been a little unhappy with the walk-away locking function because I thought it took too long to lock; not that anyone would steal the car, but I believe they could steal something I left on the seat - and I didn't particularly like having the re-load the Tesla app to lock it. Since then, I've learned from these forums that if I hit the lock icon after opening my door, it will automatically lock when I close the door, and I'm happy with that. I had been searching to a way to decrease the distance to the walk-away lock function, which it seems one can't do, but I found an alternate solution. Good.
Then I discovered something unexpected: I was sitting outside the car about 3' from the front bumper, waiting on the Home Depot team to deliver me my correct on-line order (with the back seat window open) -- then suddenly the car closed its windows, folded in its mirrors, and locked itself. I had thought the auto lock was determined on distance I would walk from the car, but now I'm wondering if it's based on time, instead. Or is this some other feature that I don't know about, that will lock the car if left "unattended"?
