Walk away walk up lock for model s

[Rosemary]

I have 2021 model s. Use the walk away and walk up but I have seen the Tesla unlock when a stranger walks up. This will not do. How do I fix this. Unlocks when I walk up without the key or phone.

To my knowledge, the locking system of the car does not sense a person or dog walking up, but Sentry would. Try disabling Sentry and see if the problem goes away.

Without key or phone it simply should not unlock, no matter what settings. Is there a spare key in the car maybe?

... or key card

The car can’t automatically unlock unless it detects a phone key or key fob. The car doesn’t detect people approaching the car in order to unlock. Maybe you’re confusing the headlight flashing of Sentry Mode for unlocking. In any case, if you can open the car without any type of key, the car wasn’t locked.
