Why can my doors open when the key is out of range?

[Michael7S]

I'm sure this is a head-smack obvious issue. The other month I leaned against my '13 Model S doors and the handles presented. I figured my wife left a key in the garage.

Nope.

They keys were on the other side of the house, along with my phone, certainly more than 30 feet away.

It's repeatable, any time. I can go out there now, without any keys, or phone, and push the handles and they open.

So is there some mode or feature that allows this? I plan to turn off Passive Entry, but I think this is unrelated.

I missed something obvious, right?

do you have “don’t lock at home” selected?

That feature seemed elusive.

However I DID find "Walk Away Lock" was not set.

Surprising if that is default. Either way, problem solved and it was 'obvious'

Thanks for the help.

I’ve had this happen when one of the kids doesn’t fully close a door. Car won’t auto lock if one door is slightly ajar.
