Tesla Door Unlock Issue: How to Fix Only Driver’s Door Opening

It sounds like Child Lock or Walk-Away Lock might be enabled on your Tesla, which could prevent the other doors from being opened.

Here are a few possible causes and solutions:

1. Child Lock Enabled

• Cause: The child lock feature restricts the rear doors from being opened from the inside or outside.
• How to Fix:
  1. Open the Tesla app or use the car’s touchscreen.
  2. Go to Controls > Locks.
  3. Disable the child lock for the rear doors.

2. Walk-Away Lock

• Cause: This feature locks the doors automatically when you walk away with the phone key, which could prevent some doors from unlocking when you return.
• How to Fix:
  1. In the car’s touchscreen, navigate to Controls > Locks.
  2. Ensure that Walk-Away Lock is either configured properly or turned off if you prefer manual locking/unlocking.

3. Door Unlock Mode

• Cause: Tesla has a setting to unlock only the driver’s door when the car is unlocked.
• How to Fix:
  1. On the touchscreen, go to Controls > Locks.
  2. Check the option for Driver Door Unlock Mode. If it’s on, switch it off to allow all doors to unlock when the driver’s door is unlocked.

Try these steps, and see if one resolves the issue!
