I did have it once. Left the family in the car for about 5-7 minutes. They decided to get out and go to the Hawaiian ice truck parked nearby... Made quite a scene with lots of folks around. Daughter was very embarrassed.Does it? I've never had this problem, but also haven't left passengers in the car often. I've always just told my daughter and/or her friends to touch the screen once I'm out of the car, and there's never been a problem.
I think this is the key. AFAIK it didn't used to activate the alarm if the driver got out while a passenger was still in the car. I guess that got added at some point.I
Of course software updates change features all the time... so...

This happened to me yesterday. I went to Target and left my girlfriend inside the car in the parking garage. I left her the key card and instructed her where to put it if the AC turned off while I was gone. I was gone around 30 minutes and at some point the car locked itself and the climate control shut off. She opened the door to get some air and all hell broke loose. She said she had tried presenting the key card on the reader with no success. I haven’t yet found the definitive answer to how to prevent this from happening. I shouldn’t have to give passengers Bluetooth cell phone access to my car to prevent this.
No, Tesla needs to properly recognize keys. When there is a key card in the car, why would it lock itself? Clearly it can recognize a key card because it can lock itself when you walk away. It happened to me too: keycard was in the car, all occupants left te car, doors closed, 10 seconds later the car locked itself! Luckily I had my phone with the Tesla app with me where I could unlock it, but locking a car with a key card inside is a big no-no.You needed to turn on camp mode (which I believe did not exist when this thread was created). I am all for searching for threads instead of creating new ones, but with that being said, any thread about software features from a year and half ago is no longer relevant as far as "how the car deals with X".

So it uses my phone to detect that I walk away, even though I only use my key card to open the car?Walk away lock doesnt work with a keycard.
Because there’s someone in the car…. Was this a serious question? The car is aware there’s someone in the seat so it shouldn’t activate. Seems like common sense to me.Why is it a glitch? You walked away the car is supposed to lock. You have to leave the key in a car to keep it on.

There are weight sensors in the front seat. I believe needed for airbags.How is the car aware of this?

Something similar happened when my wife stayed behind in the car, except she got Rap music. My wife is a non driver but when we picked up the car last month I had the Tesla rep make her phone a car key, just for this sort of situation, as she sometimes set off the alarm in my Honda. The rep thought it was a good idea.I think this is a bug/lack of sensing ability in the seats. I've had my GF stay in the car many times for up to an hour and it stayed awake with the screen on. She is kind of small and one time she didn't trigger the weight sensor. Car locked and she opened the door at some point, big mistake. Alarm went off and classic music blared at an amazing volume. I've never seen it since though.
