On the Model 3, I believe the rear doors will unlock if you are near the car. On my Volt all the doors have buttons and if I am near the car any of the buttons will unlock it. On my VW Golf only the front doors had the Kessy sensors (note that was a US limitation, the Euro version had sensors in all 4 handles) so only the front doors would unlock. I can't speak to Mercedes. My Volt will lock after a few seconds of me getting out and closing the drivers door, the VW required me to touch the handle, the Model 3 should auto lock when you walk away (again using phone key).Well that makes SOME sense, how do you unlock it to let child get something out of the rear opposite door? I now do that with the "button". Do you have to open the drivers door then shut it again? The key fob only lets me unlock the car if I'm standing next to the relevant door button I am in proximity to, this is to prevent people from randomly jumping in from elsewhere.
And how do you again lock the door? Do you have to move away from the car?
Should Tesla replace the key card with a fob the existing functionality should work the same, you would gain the ability to open the frunk (with a button press) that is currently missing on the 3.
