What is the purpose of setting addresses in your Tesla?
Your Tesla makes it easy to navigate to your home, work, and favorite addresses by setting up addresses in the vehicle.
Sentry Mode is sometimes not activated by Tesla owners at work or home to save battery life. As a result, by programming these addresses, Sentry Mode can be turned off automatically upon pulling into those (or any) specific addresses.
There are also Tesla drivers who prefer to leave their cars unlocked in a private garage. In order to allow you to personalize the settings of your Tesla, Tesla will use these programmed addresses.

The best way to leave the Tesla doors unlocked at home
In some Tesla owners’ homes, they park their vehicles in a secure location and do not lock them. It is possible to change the Tesla’s settings so that it remains unlocked at home when the driver walks away from the vehicle. The steps are as follows:
Note: According to Tesla, the vehicle will assume it is at the home address if parked within 32 feet (10 meters) of the address listed as home. Make sure the doors of any unsecured parking spaces near your home are locked if you park there sometimes.
In the garage of one of our EVehicle Pros, for instance, a Tesla is always parked. In some cases, however, he parks his Tesla on the road in front of his house if the garage is unavailable. Despite parking his Tesla in front of the address where he lives, the Tesla still assumes it’s parked there.
