2022 S LR. It was a February delivery. When I close the sliding door on the center console to the half way position (so you can still see the cupholders), should the light inside that small compartment be on? On our X it turns off. Here is a picture. A bit hard to see through the gap, but the light is still on. Super annoying at night. The light does turn off if I push the tray underneath to open (to access the bigger, lower compartment).

Feb 2022 MSLR. Originally the lights operated opposite what you'd think. Using my camera in video mode showed light in main compartment turned on with main slide door closed. Light turned off with main slide door open. They replaced the whole console which included the rear screen. Long story short .... it works as it should now. The picture below shows both lower sliders closed, top slider halfway and light is off. Pushing top slider towards full open will turn on light. For the OP, can it be that the top slider needs its midpoint adjusted just a little? Test this by letting it close just a little bit more.

Feb 2022 Model S, same issue. I ended up just living with it. I had to many things replaced that this was on the bottom of the list. Now I just don't want to deal with it anymore, lol.
Did they give you the bigger rear screen with the replacement? I’m worried they are going to use that as the reason for not replacing mine as I have the smaller rear screen

This repair happened a few months ago before the bigger screen was out. I bet a repair today would result in a bigger screen.
The rear display does not get disturbed when they fix/replace the center console. The whole console can be removed and the rear display stays put.
I had to go to SC - they replaced to switch control module in the console. Some SCs replaced the Center console altogether.
Took my SC 3 days though, doesn’t seem like it’s something mobile service can do, quite invasive.
Copy that. I made an appointment and at first it had mobile service...then it changed to the SC. Oh well. We will see what all they end up replacing!

Same with me, whole console including back seat screen. This was done last year before the new thin bezzeled screen came out.

Initially I had a properly working console where the lights would come on when opened and off when closed, but I recently had the console replaced because the sliding door would grind when closed.
Now my lights are backwards and the under arm door is no longer magnetic since the magnets no longer line up with each other (I located the upper/lower magnets with a magnet) and found that they location offset are about 1" apart.
Needless to say new console is on order.

UPDATE:
The new center console came in, service day came, they installed the new one, all good. I go home and check it and it is working properly. Fast forward to a few days later, it is now not working properly, and backwards yet again. It is making me wonder if I was crazy when I checked it after first picking it up. Nonetheless, now it is still not working properly. I have another service appointment, this one a mobile, so we will see what they decide. The saga continues!

Lazy to search through posts to see what the problem is in your specific instance. Can you recount again what you're seeing in your particular case, thanks. Maybe a video. For inside a black console its best to put a white handkerchief in there during the video. No video, that's fine too.

Had mine fixed in the thread here. I wonder if a recent software update flipped the logic ?

Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?
I noticed in my new Model S Plaid the center console light turns off if you fully open the sliding lid. Is this expected behavior? Intuitively the light should turn off when the lid is fully closed, and light should turn on when half-closed or fully opened
