Leave keys in ICE car?

[Bigjohn892]

Has anyone else left their ICE car running and the keys inside?
It has happened to me three times since we bought our Model 3.

Actually my problem is the opposite as I dock my phone in the 3 and walk off leaving the 3 on and unlocked.

I’ve done the same. Not good.

All the time when we rent.

Really? I mean, it's a basic part of getting in and out of a car. Tesla or not.

Now, if the question was - 'Has anyone repeatedly turned on the wipers when trying to put car in drive or reverse?" Then I would admittedly be guilty of this.

Honestly, I haven't had keys, even in an ICE for awhile. Keyless entry and ignition

I just had an ICE loaner while my M3 was getting tint and wrap...I just left the keys in it hoping someone would unburdened me with that dino burning POS

No. But I have turned on the wiper blades multiple times trying to shift into drive

On our Lexus 450h, have forgot several times to push the off button since it’s quiet
when not moving, and key fob stays in my pocket

I would put an ICE car in park and get out. Then remember I need to hit the start button to turn off the car as I closed the door. The motor noise gives it away.

I think the car would evtnually turn off though once the key was out of range.

yeah. that. I did that with our ICE SUV three times the first year I had a Tesla. Apparently, it doesn't turn off when the key is out of range, only when it runs out of gas. Many times coming out the next morning to wonder, "who started my car this morning?"
