Bonnet/Frunk opening of its own accord

[Kenners]

My wife went out this morning and the bonnet on the Y was open. Bit weird so I checked the camera and it turns out it opened on its own in the middle of the prior afternoon. Never happened before, wondered if anyone had this happen? I have relocated the cables to the boot!

Do you have the optional key fob?

Nope, just use the phone as key

@Leejmoff Did you ever find out what caused your issue?

Bonnet keeps opening on its own

Yep, is anyone else getting this? happens about once or twice a week. I get a notification while at home that the bonnet has been left open. No one uses it. So somehow its opening up on its own, and it only appears to happen when the car is at home. Definitely not use accidentally opening it...

It is quite easy to "pocket dial" the Tesla app! A few years ago I accidentally turned on the HVAC, in the middle of winter. It used about 10% SoC before I discovered it on.
Now, I rarely use the Tesla app and close the window after use. I use TeslaFi, if I want to know the state of charge, etc.
Since making these changes, I haven't had any issues.
Also having a Tesla Wall connector means I don't have to use the app to unlock the charge port...

What I found odd was that neither of us got a notification saying it was open, or it that function just for the doors and windows?

It certainly alerts when the boot is open, haven't left the frunk open long enough to see.

It would only open from the app if you were in BT range.

Well....from what I remember it was my wife doing it. I took the boot opening shortcut off of her app and that stopped it happening.

It was either bugged or she somehow accidentally doing it. Personally I think it was a problem with the app because it would just randomly do it while we were sat watching tv in the evening.

Since changing the shortcuts, it hasn't happened. So maybe try that?

Not quite, it will only open without verification if in BT range. If further away it prompts with “Are you sure?”

But if pocket dialling it might hit that too
