A grey Model Y boot accidentally left open parked in Cambridge park and ride. Happy to close it if you are not nearby and fine with it. Otherwise will be around for another 20-30 minutes. Hope you are on the forum and check your TMC posts so that you can remotely close.

Model Y boot open - Cambridge

Because of other reasons I overstayed in the car park and the owner came back in an hour. The boot wasn’t closed till she came back and it looked like she forgot to close the boot. She came back in a bike and then loaded the bike inside. It looked like she unloaded the bike and then forgot to close the boot as it was one of those fiddly adult bikes which normally distracts you from doing your other routines.
I think it is hit and miss. I know mine was once open (I have set all the notifications to on) but did not get any notification and my neighbour had to message me :-(
The reasons for that is understandable - you can walk away and if a dog / or something that is getting loaded/unloaded is stuck it can easily gets trapped or damage the boot door (There is no sensor like some of the other cars that stops the boot from being closed if it senses an object - of course, the main reason for this is to make car manufacturing simple but people like to call Elon’s strategy as cost cutting). The walk away lock can easily get enabled within 5 foot distance in some cases. I think the California 2K kids thought about that and that is refreshing but at the same time their notification setup needs some work.

I've done this before too. Car was in it's usual overnight spot in my communal garage so was semi safe I guess. But there's a few improvements Tesla could do:
1. Confirm boot open prompt if you're outside Bluetooth range. Would reduce the number accidental button pushes, especially with widgets. I think that's what happened to me
2. Notification if boot left open. They do it with windows, climate, etc. so why not boot?

You do get a notification when it’s left open for a certain amount of time. I’ve had it before but not sure it works 100%
Yes you are right. Don’t know how I missed that just like the 12v.

That’s good to know then, as it means mine mustn’t have been left open for longer than I thought. I must’ve accidentally clicked the button on the widget by accident and realised straight away.
