First, my charge port door decided it wanted to stay open. After closing, it would open by itself. After manually closing it a couple of times, it decided it would stay closed, but the car still thought it was open and would indicate such on the screen.
The first night I could charge fine, so it was just an annoying nuisance. Then this happened, the car 'kind of' thought the door was open, so it would very briefly flash such on both the IP and 17" screen. This repeats every ~15 seconds.
Unfortunately for me, when I got home to charge, the car now refuses to accept the charging cable (no lights). Tesla Service thus far is unable to help remotely.
An electric car is great... until it refuses to allow you to charge it... now it is just a big paperweight.
