Exclude Home with Doors Auto Lock set

[TomServo]

If I have the Y configured to Auto Lock the doors when I walk away, can I “exclude home”?

I suspect its a check box selection right next to the Auto Lock option. That's how it is on the S.

The latest update allows you to exclude home.

Cool because I didn’t see that mentioned in the on-line version of the Owners Manual I downloaded.

@TomServo, its a very recent add. Would not be in the manual, yet. Probably in the next update.

Recent add not only the latest software. It’s in the release notes. Only been available something like a week.

Sweet, thanks for the info

Just got the latest update last night and I can attest that the "exclude home" works as advertised and it's wonderful!

All my GM's for the last few years have had this and I was going to miss it if Tesla hadn't implemented it.

I have a model S and have the "exclude" box checked for my home. But the door locks still lock. I have reset the home location and done a reset, still no luck. Any suggestions?

I suspect your car does not know its "home". Let's see, hmm, if I remember, to set "home", you look under Navigate. Let the car find and set it. Let's see if that helps.

After you checked your "exclude home" box, have you driven your S out of your house and come back? If your car stayed at home all the time, just checking the box doesn't change anything. It goes into effect after your first out of house travel, upon your return back to home.

I have a Y and I checked exclude home but then the locks didn’t lock even though I was a few houses down from my home down the street?

does it take your home address or where you are when you parked?

I guess it's based on the GPS/LTE/Wi-Fi location (like iPhone, it might use a combination of all 3 for an accurate location) but must have a tolerance due to the noise, with a radius of a few lots? For your home location, I think it uses the address (because that's what you enter in the navigation page as home), then use Google map or something to find out what's the reference point for that street address (for example, my lot size is over 4 acres, so you still need a point (GPS coordinate) for my home address and you'll have to rely on a map like Google map (I heard that Tesla uses Google map for navigation). Worst case - if your reference point of the home address is far from the actual location of where the car is parked and if the tolerance is small, then the car might still be locked even when parked at home, so probably that's another reason why the tolerance can't be too small.
