I can’t say how excited I am that Tesla finally added the missing feature to exclude a home location from the walk away lock function, as I can with Sentry mode. And I’m sorry that there are so many who live in areas where they can’t even leave their car in their own garage, without fear of theft. I guess living on a remote country property has it’s advantages! I don’t have a garage, but feel safe having valuable merchandise left on my doorstep.

I love this feature. I realized I needed to add it to every profile though. After the update, it didn't work right until I rebooted and now its good.
I’d been wondering the same thing since I made the OP. Such antagonism in defense of their god Elon. Sycophants you think?
Actually, no, for the most part. It's the nature of social media, including this one. I am continually amazed at the number of people who get all worked up because someone's likes are different from theirs. Apparently in this Facebook world we are not allowed our own opinions even when they do not affect anyone else. It is quite amazing. And depressing.

Many things are said her that might be more tactfully put if said in person.
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.
