Car not locked

[Lx2m3]

It’s happened to me a few times, walk away from the car but it doesn’t lock!
I usually listen for the honk as confirmation which I think is a good feature, but I wish it would send you an alert when you walk out of Bluetooth range but remains unlocked.
If I don’t slam the boot lid, then it doesn’t latch properly and therefore won’t lock.
This happened today, the offside passenger door wasn’t properly closed, and therefore didn’t lock. It’s interesting to note that the app doesn’t show this door on the graphic, so not an obvious cause, but indicates not locked and window not closed.
I realise that the alert I suggested would need some qualification e.g. seats not occupied, and maybe a service/wash mode.

Would be nice if it alerted you natively although until then you can use Teslafi to alert you if the car has been unlocked for a certain amount of time or if the windows have been down.

The walk-away lock should work more consistently, and this reply does not address that.

What I will say is that I have been much happier since de-activating walk-away door lock
1. No locking while in my garage
2. When out and about can either lock as I leave using the screen, or lock from the app using the iOS widget

If you don't lock it (in your garage) it won't sleep properly and will waste power

100% NOT true... where did you get that from???

Sentry mode will keep your car from sleeping.
There is some data (not sure if it is true) that cabin overheat protection can keep your car from sleeping on a hot day

But you can set sentry mode to be off when in a certain location - such as your own garage.

Don't assume that is the case. There are a number of situations where TeslaFi reports the car as sleeping when it is not, including a setting which if enabled, can indicate an offline car being sleeping when it is actually idle.

3+ days sleeping and counting is absolutely not the case. And that is without the advanced 'Show offline as asleep' setting being enabled.

Easily tested, when TeslaFi says its sleeping, open the Tesla app, if it says "waking up" at the bottom it was asleep.

Independent of TeslaFi, I can SEE the car is sleeping

• The light on the charge port is out
• Pressing the button on the charge "Wand" does nothing (it will not work until I wake up the car)

So one more time -- the car sleeps fine when left unlocked
