You doubt an update would screw things up? IDK.

Wow. That’s… VERY different. The question is is that actually fixed, or is it now broken? Anyone else seeing the same? I really hope that’s what everyone is seeing, because that’s much less abusive on the ears than it used to be!
Thank you, good sir!

I'm thinking it could be broken. Maybe they used a 12v actuator in a 15v system.

I don’t know what to think. Hopefully someone on the same software can comment on this…
Model 3 and Y sound like this, so maybe it’s fixed?

It also won't do that second draw down if a window is open.

A second draw down on the hatch happens on my Feb 2022 MSLR only when the cabin is air tight. If a window is open there is no pressure created from a closing hatch and the hatch closes fully without the second draw down noise.

Nope. Mine doesn’t behave that way. It always has the second draw down even with all the windows down. June, 2022, build.

I’m on 2022.44.30.10

Can you take a video of this with window down vs up? And what software are you on? I’m getting a lot of mixed info here from people…

Ahhh, and the windows are all in vent position, as I wanted to check if the update killed the remote vent function.
I'll run out to check....hey I don't need to! Use the app...close the windows, then open tailgate.
Yep, sorry for @WilliamG , but with the windows closed the cinch is back...

Thanks. Hmmmm. So that’s two of you saying there’s no second draw closed with windows open, but with windows closed it cinches. Wonder what software version @zoomer0056 is on?

I have soft close on another car (actually changed the receivers out from "hard close"). If the door has enough energy (a running start), the latches will rotate passed the soft close portion and latch like a non-powered latch. If I gently bring the door down on the latch, it will rotate in a motorized fashion and soft close the door.
Perhaps what is happening here is that some rear deck seals are a little more compliant (and maybe the hinges a little free) so that the rear hatch has enough of a run at the latch to get past the soft close portion. In some cases, only when the windows are down as all "last" doors are easier to close when at least one window is down to let the cabin air out and not build pressure.
Just spit balling here.

My Feb 2022 MSLR is on 2023.2.12. This hatch closing has operated this since day one and not affected by software versions.

I’d wager there’s something wrong with yours, then.
