That really doesn’t explain the defensive, aggressive nastiness of some of the replies I got. I LOVE this tweak that Tesla made. I feel badly that there are people who would never feel safe leaving their cars unlocked even in their own garage. But for those same people to think, “Because I can’t imagine leaving MY car unlocked at home, you shouldn’t need it either unless you’re an entitled, dissatisfied whiner,” is not only narrow minded, but supremely unhelpful to furthering a productive discussion. I wasn’t asking for a vote on whether or not this feature would be useful to 100% of M3 drivers. I was merely saying that I would’ve liked it to have been a more flexible app, like Sentry mode, in the hopes that others who felt the same might influence Tesla to reconsider the rigidity of Walk away lock.
Thankfully, the engineers at Tesla DID feel it a worthy improvement, and I couldn’t be happier.
