They unlocked when I pulled on the handles...or hit the button to open the trunk.
But the car always connects to my phone via Bluetooth when I am in range regardless of the selected option

Good to know, thanks. So the only difference is that with "walk-up unlock" it might save you a second or two to open a door or get into the trunk?
Less than that...since the door unlock mechanism is automatic...it is nearly instant. Except the headlights don't turn on or the mirrors don't unfold till you open the door.

Good to know, I will also turn off walk up unlock.
With regards to the clicking and clunking, is it an issue that somehow affects the performance of the car or is it just what the model 3 EV does as a matter of course? Perhaps it is an issue that is normal and doesn't need to be fixed.
You could look all this stuff up in your new, revised Tesla released Owners Manual. If you had one. Call 'em up and tell them that as an owner of one of their new cars, you need and deserve one and expect it right now. As in last week.
I expected vampire drain to be high but it is suprsingly low...only a mile or two per day

The owner's manual is in your MyTesla account once you take delivery.
From my understanding walk up unlock is mostly useful when you have more people than just the driver wanting to get in the car, correct? Or do all 4 doors unlock when you pull on the respective handles?
All 4 doors unlock...the only thing that walk up unlock does is that it opens the mirror and turns on the headlights when you approach the car.
@K-MTG,
This is great news. Thanks for posting. How many days did you go unplugged and inside or outside? I.e. ambient temp/parameters?

The car is in the garage...60-70 degrees. I haven't charged the car since Monday..I had it charge to 70%. It is currently at 140 but I did drive it over the past few days. Will check how many miles I drove and subtract that with the current state and let you know.
K-MTG,
Since you got the car for several days now, I’m just curious on how satisfy are you on a scale of 1 - 10?

Most of my complaints are with the software...I would give it a 7.5/10 right now. With software refinements it can become a 9/10. Have many more videos on the way..

Washed and waxed mine today. Also heard the clicks and the constant 'awakening' during the wash and wax. Turned off the Bluetooth on the phone, and the clicks and pops continued but the awakening ceased. Strange.

I appreciate this thread and activity. It is particularly useful that previous owners are experiencing this and recognize it as different behavior. A non-Tesla owner might just assume that is what Tesla's do..... I hope we come to understand if this is "as designed" behavior or buggy software.....
To my knowledge, this is not so. Anyone with a car get one? From Tesla?
