Ik heb moeite om dit diplomatiek te formuleren, maar "ga door de instellingen, begin met vergrendelen. Het is daar ergens" veroorzaakt bij mij allerlei geloofwaardigheidsalarmen. Ik heb het vermoeden dat die poster tot de verkeerde conclusie is gekomen door het observeren van de functie "opnieuw vergrendelen bij nadering wanneer deuren niet worden geopend".

Af en toe word ik afgeleid als ik mijn garage verlaat en weet ik niet helemaal zeker of ik heb gewacht om te zien of de garagedeur daadwerkelijk dichtging (soms wordt de veiligheidssensor verkeerd uitgelijnd en begint hij te sluiten, maar springt hij weer open voordat hij klaar is). . Ik draai me onderaan de heuvel om, rijd weer naar boven en bevestig visueel de staat van de garagedeur vanaf de oprit.

Als de garage een functie had zoals de Taycan, zou die poging om te controleren of de garagedeur open was of niet ervoor zorgen dat deze daadwerkelijk zou sluiten . Als er geen ondubbelzinnige manier was om van een afstand te observeren of de auto op slot is, denk ik niet dat het mogelijk zou zijn om onderscheid te maken tussen "was niet (en is niet) daadwerkelijk op slot, maar zal een minuut nadat je loopt weer weg na de eerste keer gecontroleerd te hebben" en "zichzelf automatisch vergrendeld". Als je er een tweede keer op terugkomt, zou hij op slot zijn geweest, maar nu de sleutel weer dichtbij genoeg is, ontgrendelt hij zichzelf.

Alleen al het proberen de status van het slot te achterhalen kan deze onder bepaalde omstandigheden veranderen, wat de belangrijkste reden is dat ik het met mijn SA eens ben dat het gemoedsrust geeft als de spiegels automatisch worden ingeklapt bij het vergrendelen.

Je porsche app geeft duidelijk aan of je auto gelsoten is. Dus daar is je antwoord.?

I don’t have the comfort access option but do have the folding mirrors. I note when I use the app to lock the car, the mirrors don’t fold automatically as they do when I use the key.
I must admit I had not known that but checked mine and you are right...not sure if that is an oversight on Porsche's part or an example of German logic that I do not currently understand!

Unlocks when key is near, will not auto lock again.

I’m ok with this - I’m tired of all the new EVs trying to automate everything. I want the start/stop button. I want to control when my car locks and unlocks.

Porsche technology is not so advanced. Maybe 2028 model year. ?‍♂
Boy, people have been spoiled by the likes of Tesla and BMW. We gotta give Porsche time to catch up, they still haven't figured out how to make the current locking/unlocking work reliably, or how to produce a reliable heater. Adding automatic locking to the mix would just overload their engineering team. ?‍♂

I'm still hoping they can eventually get it right on my 2023 Taycan - on second set of door handles already and still about 10% of the time the driver's door handle lock dent just doesn't work at all so I have to go to the back door handle to lock the car. Also the new handles were supposed to fix the car unlocking itself right after locking, but it happened to me once already since handles were replaced (after locking with fob, the car just unlocked itself, have a video from garage security camera because I wanted to make sure I didn't touch something by accident, I didn't). In the past the self-unlocking happened mostly in cold weather and we've had a warm winter so far, so we'll see it starts happening more often again next week when it gets cold. Hoping for no?, though now that it's happened once, the trust is lost. I can never just hit lock and walk away, always have to wait a few seconds to make sure it didn't unlock itself.

In 2020, the Taycan locked automatically when you were far enough away. My wife was then no longer able to get out of the car. That must have been an earlier function because my Taycan no longer has it. Unfortunately, the side mirrors no longer fold in when you have been close to the car for a short time and it locks again automatically. That bothers me, otherwise everything is fine.

Got the GTS few days ago. My BMW had a feature where the car would unlock when approaching and lock when leaving. On the Taycan it unlocks when approaching, is there a feature that locks the car automatically when leaving the car? Couldn't find anything in settings.
I agree, can't tell you how many times I forgot as the Tesla I had for over 7 years did it automatically, seems a simple fix but legacy automakers generally like to include new features with new cars not with cars already sold.

2024 GTS ST, mine auto locks if I walk away after about a minute or two. Put the key in the house and walked out to test it after the car beeped and it’s intact locked. (I have the comfort access option)

Do you mean after it was already locked? Specifically, you lock the car, get near it again with the key so it unlocks, don't open anything, walk away, and the car auto-locks (signaled by a beep) after a minute? If so, that is the expected behavior and the same as mine with comfort access.

This is exactly why auto-lock is a bad idea. The car can’t detect if someone is still inside. (Front passenger seat does have a pressure sensor, not sure about the rear ones.) To solve that reliably, a camera would be needed, trained to distinguish between a person and, say, 40kg of ballast on a seat. Which, of course, invites other issues, of both ethical and techn(olog)ical nature.

I sense, among especially the Tesla “expats”, a constant disappointment with Porsche’s inability to read their minds/guess their intentions. (Some attribute it to poor software skills.) I park my car in a garage both at work and at home. In both cases, I walk away from it taking the key with me. I wouldn’t want the car to guess when to lock or not, just as I wouldn’t want it to support, say, location-based profiles (lock at work, but not at my friend’s). I couldn’t be bothered to fiddle with settings to enable and configure this behavior, but I would find it aggravating if it guessed wrong. All of these specific issues are trivially solvable and denote, if anything, a conscious UX choice rather than a measure of one’s software prowess. IMO that is the correct behavior, even if it was more about cost cutting or an attempt to keep it simple.

I can leave my Chevy with my son in it and it will lock automatically. If he needs to get out, he simply opens the door. If Porsche can't figure out something that simple, that's pretty sad.
