Charge port release pull tab broke

[ninpb]

The pull tab inside the trunk used for a stuck charge adapter broke off while pulling on it. Luckily i was still able to release it by pulling on the cable with my finger tips. Hoping this is a quick fix that I can't just drop by service without and sppoappoint today.

Ooo, hope it’s fixed soon. Let us know.

We were at a Supercharger a week or so ago at night and approached by a female owner who had a stuck charge port door while charging. I had recently read on TMC that a release lever existed but wasn’t sure how to access it exactly, so a quick search online brought up a video. All of us got an education about that that night. Got her set, thankfully nothing broke while pulling it, did a bug report for her (fairly new owner), and strongly suggested while she was up in the bay area visiting that she head over to a SC and drop in for a quick look and hopefully a repair. Bad problem to have in general with charge port especially when hundreds of miles from home and stuck trying to charge to get home.

I guess I’ll have to be more careful when I pull the tab during a locked or stuck charger. It has happened to me once in my garage and the last two times at the Tesla supercharger. Not sure why it is happening

I'll one-up you. My pull tab and the 2 foot cable connecting it ripped right out of my trunk. I'm not especially strong. At least I was home, but that probably wouldn't have happened in the first place if i were using a wall connector or supercharger. The charger is still stuck.
