The other day my wife and I went shopping with our brand new Model 3. We both have phone keys. She opened and drove the car using hers and I joined in the passenger seat. At the mall parking lot, she left with her phone, driver's door open, leaving the car to me and my phone to park. As I sat on the driver seat trying to shift to Drive, it wouldn't let me: it requested, graphically, to authenticate with a key card on the internal card reader. I complied, but got no response at all from the car. I ended up having to exit the car, shut the door, lock with the card from the outside and then unlock with the same card. Only then could I complete the parking. All this to the dismay of fellow drivers having to wait me out.
Is this an issue with Model 3 locking and safety logic? Do I miss something? How can such a situation be avoided?
Thank you.
