AutoLock Doors When Driving?

[Brisket5652]

In most cars I've owned the doors auto-lock when starting to drive and achieving roughly 5mph, or at least there is an option to do so. I don't see this in my TM3P.

The lock icon stays in the unlocked position when I'm driving unless I manually press it to lock.

On our car the doors lock as soon as you shift to D. They'll unlock if you try to open a door when the car is stopped, or shift into P.

Reading manual and I don't see where it says. Can't imagine this not being offered since almost EVERY car has it. Most other cars offer an option to turn off/on. So in Tesla's they just lock by default/no menu toggle (fine as long as it does) as you drive off? So just not working for the OP or....?

I couldn't find it in the manual, but they definitely lock when you are driving. The manual states:
"To make it convenient to pick up passengers, you can also unlock all doors at any time by shifting into Park then pressing the Park button a second time" which implies the auto-lock, since you have to manually unlock the doors to pick up a passenger (I do this frequently picking my daughter up from school.)

Mine for sure don't lock when driving, or at least the lock icon shows "unlocked".

Can y'all please confirm that your lock icon shows "locked", as well?

Thanks

Thank you both. This helps me troubleshoot.

The car doesn’t make a “lock sound” unlike most cars. Mine does show the lock icon once moving.

I have an S, not a 3, but my doors autolock when driving. The lock/unlock icon on the display changes. I vaguely recall a setting for that in the menus somewhere. If so, it may have gotten turned off on your car for some reason.

When you stop without parking and someone gets out of the car, it will not lock automatically again. It only does that when going from park to drive then moving.
