2022 Model S long range. Anyone else noticed this? 99% of the time when I approach my car when no climate is on in the car, the handles present immediately upon approach. But if I've enabled the climate to cool the car before I get to it or have Dog mode on, when I approach the car. Takes maybe 15-20 seconds for the car to recognize my phonekey and I have to actually physically touch the handle to get them to extend. Anyone else notice this?
 
So this issue remains. Not limited to dog mode and it happens in my S and my wife’s Y. If I use the feature to leave the heat on when I leave the car? When returning back to the vehicle, it either won’t unlock when I get close to it or it takes may be up to 30 seconds to recognize that the phone is nearby. I often end up having to open the app on the phone and then manually unlock the car . Anyone else?
