Walk-Away Mode Door only closes driver's door on my MX - why?

[G2019]

For some reason, the Walk-Away Door lock option only works if only the Driver's door is open. For example, when I park to have my family get out (Passenger or FWDs doors), and when we walk-away, no door are auto closed. Any idea why, please?

However, if/when the Driver Door is the only door that's open, it closes the Driver door when I Walk-Away with my fob to 15+ feet or so.

FYI, I have turned ON this feature via Controls > Vehicle > Walk-Away Door Lock.

I would assume it’s for safety since it’s monitoring key fob distance and doesn’t know if there are any passengers standing by the doors.

Walk Away Door LOCK is not the same as Auto-closing doors. It was only ever possible on the drivers door.

From page 127 of the manual, in the "Controls" section...

• Automatic Doors: If on, the driver's door opens whenever you approach Model X and the key is detected. The door also opens when you double-click the key and the passenger door opens with a subsequent double-click. If not enabled, the door (or doors) unlock, but you'll need to open the driver's door manually. See Opening and Closing Front Doors from Outside Model X on page 12).
  
  
• Close All With Key Fob: If on, all doors (and the rear trunk) close and lock when you single-click the key's lock/unlock button (if off, you must triple-click this button).
  
  
• Driver Door Unlock Mode: If on, only the driver's door unlocks when you shift Model X into Park. If off, all doors unlock.
  
  
• Walk-Away Door Lock: If on, doors automatically lock when you walk away from the vehicle, carrying your key with you (see Walk-Away Door Lock).

This is definitely working as designed on the Model X...only the Driver's side door closes when you walkaway, not all the others. It's always been that way. The other doors can all be closed at once by just clicking the center "roof" lock on the key fob. However, not just by walking away...

I forgot about the "close all" triple click!

Thank you all. I thought I read somewhere that it was possible on ALL doors including the trunk which will Auto-close itself after you walk-away from the MX. Was it always just the Driver's door that Auto Close or did Tesla reconfigured with one of their Firmware update?

Bought my X 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed.

Is it possible to close all doors using the brake pedal?

I'd rather it close all and not just the drivers door, instead of tapping the close all doors button on the screen.

Is it possible to close all doors using the brake pedal?

I think this would be dangerous because you could easily forget to give everyone time to get in/clear the fwd. I know I'm often in the car first and press the brake so I can enter the PIN and be ready to go. Or I'm in the car, fiercely guarding it, while my wife shops. As I see her approach, like a true gentleman, I press a button to open the door for her, then press the brake to enter the PIN while she's still getting in.

What happens if you have the Driver's and the Passenger Doors open and you walk away? Does it just close the Driver's side only? Or doesn't close either?

Hi Glr2019,

It will not close either door...
