It's not the seatbelt that makes the difference. It is whether you have your foot on the brakepedal or not when hitting the off button. In other words, if the car is in Park and you don't have your foot on the brake, the car will do one thing, but if you foot is pressing the foot brake, the car will do another.

I park in my garage and do this each time. Press start/stop, press hold radio button and everything turns off except ambient lights which time out. Actually most of the time just getting out does the trick but noticed once radio stayed on. I'm thinking maybe brake is the missing piece.

Because of all of these keyless systems now days people exit their cars with the engines still running and walk away without a minute's notice..

Hence why that annoying/embarrassing honk is there! I'm sure we've all done it at least once. It's happened to me when I've got into a store with someone still in the car.

But, I've never had to lock cars in my garage before, so I've gotten into the habit of getting things from/putting things in the cars just at random times throughout the day. I work from home so lots of times I'll go stuff drycleaning or a package or a shopping list or whatever in there that I know I'll need on my next trip. Or if I've just come back from a bunch of shopping/errands, I'll gradually unload through the day rather than all at once. Now, it's annoying when I wander out there and don't have a key on me. I've tried the radio button thing, but then everything just turns back on the next time I open a door. Yes, I could change my car loading/unloading habits. But I feel like a $90k vehicle should adapt to my needs, not the other way around. |

I have a 2019 M550i, before that a 2016 550i, and before that a 2013 550i.
They've all had this weird obsession with wanting to stay powered on after the car has been stopped and I have shut off the engine. 99.9999% of the time, I get in the car, turn it on, drive to where I'm going, shut the engine off, and then exit the vehicle. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but isn't this what most people do? Are other people really sitting in their car that frequently after shutting off the engine that this process is justified? Every so often, maybe once every few months, I might have a need or desire to sit in the car with the infotainment system on, but that is truly an exception and could easily be addressed by just hitting the Start/Stop button to turn on the infotainment system. It seems like a strange and incorrectly balanced tradeoff to have this overly complicated shutoff procedure in exchange for the "convenience" of that once a quarter situation where I might want to sit in the car with the radio on after I shut off the engine. |

Why change a good thing? You can't code a Tesla like we can. You can't even buy replacement parts from Tesla. It's too much of a closed system. #BMW4Life

Your own garage is probably a very US centric thing, I would imagine the lock the cars shuts everything off works for a lot people. Also look at the suburb here so many people park on driveway instead of garage for whatever reason

I follow a local Tesla group on Facebook. Setting aside the attitudes of many of the people in that group, it seems like there are still lots of quality issues with the cars - both fit/finish and actual mechanicals. Some of the most popular posts are suggestions for the best flatbed tow companies in the area...
As much as I love the grumble of a V8, I am looking forward to the EV market gaining competition and taking off. Tesla had a great role as a major disruptor, but they lack depth of experience in building lasting products and it shows. |

I'm an early adopter of most technology, but I have a strong desire to avoid brogrammer software issues or tent assembly mechanical problems during my lengthy and frequently sub-zero commute home. I am jealous, however, of what I perceive to be Tesla's more aggressive autonomous driving modes. |
