I've recently become an owner of a used Model S 2017. According to my preferences, I've setup the car with:
I get there's no traditional start/stop action for the car. But if I've already started the car but then have to quickly get out of the car for a second (e.g. I forgot to grab something from the trunk) then the car turns off. When I get back into the car, the car has turned "off". To turn it back on, I have to unlock the car via the fob or the Tesla app, both of which seem a faff. Just wanted to find out what the best way is in that situation (in summary: car is on, you get out of the driver seat for a moment but do not want the car to turn off).
- PIN to drive: enabled
- Auto present door handles: disabled
