apparently this is now a feature in Firmware 6.1great idea! eventually the car locks up after you hit park, and to let people in, having to go to the controls and unlock takes a while... Just hitting the park button again on the stalk to toggle back to unlock, brilliant.
I wand to report that they did. All it takes now is to push Park, even if it's already in Park, and the door handles present. I hope the people who needed this have noticed it was done.
Tesla heard us. And they fixed it. Thanks, Tesla!
I have had this idea for a long time now - to use the (mechanical) park button push as a lock/unlock toggle switch when the car is in park. The button currently becomes useless once the car goes to park, having to go to the touch screen to lock/unlock is not as convenience as reaching the park button.
If only the idea could reach Elon's ears. If he likes it, I am sure it can be out in the next release
What I'd like to see in addition to this, is when transitioning from drive to park, the car does not unlock (but of course you can still pulling the inside handle to open the door). It is rare that I want someone to be able to get into the car when I press park, but when I do, it's just a matter of pressing park twice.
The hill assist only holds the brakes for 1 or 2 seconds, then lets go. That doesn't help at all when you are standing on a red light and have to keep your foot on the brake to make sure the car isn't rolling. VW has a very nice and convenient 'auto hold' feature that is much better than hill assist. When you slow down the car and come to a stop, it will hold the brakes for you once the car comes to a full stop. And it will release it again as soon as you hit the accelerator. It works all the time and 100%. It makes driving in a city so much nicer. You don't have to always keep the foot on the brake. It took me a little to get used to it and trust it, but then I just loved it and used it all the time. Of course it was an option that can be turned off. I believe the BMW i3 does it the same way.
I don't understand the need for this. What are you doing with your right foot that you can't keep it on the brake? One second is a long enough time to move one's foot from the brake to the accelerator. Is it a strength or fatigue issue??
You could say the same thing about cruise control. Is that a strength or fatigue issue? Neither, it's a convenience issue.I don't understand the need for this.

And yet, despite this assumption, valet mode is still one of the top requested missing features for Model S. Go figure. :wink:I like how Tesla assumes we have butlers at our houses and every night we go out to eat where a valet is in front of the restaurant.
