Charging Port door closes immediately after opening

Sounds easy enough so long as its applicable to MYLR.

No reason it shouldn’t be. I’d guess it’s applicable to all models to be honest as it’s just a full power cycle rather than the Ctrl-Alt-Delete of pushing both steering wheel buttons. Either way, it worked which is what matters.

Something happened over night on ours too. This morning the door was fully open and not half closed on the charging cable. Must have pushed an update to the cars...?

Well that didn’t last long…charging door still not opening and staying open….still closing on cable. smh

This just happenend to me. Turned off Bluetooth on both phones, locked car with keycard. Went for a run, when I came back, opened car with the keycard and did a soft restart. Now issue resolved.

What is the significance of "Power Off" in safety menu?

The other steps of removing USB and whatnot seem like avoiding distractions to a quick perfect sleep.

2 and 2, it goes looking for any updates as the last thing before sleeping?

This is happening to me too, few days after an update to 2024.14.8. I had charged OK a few times, but then I failed to start a charge (on a Blink charger - it's always problematic) and then it started open/close. None of the advice above has helped so far.

Happened to me. I have a J1772 charger with the NACS adapter on it. I normally press the physical disconnect charger button on the handle and then quickly re-engage it and pull out the entire handle plus adapter in the small window of time this creates. However, for some reason this time the port did not unlock. I think it may have been due to the Bluetooth key somehow not being seen by the car.

At any rate, this is when the port door simply would not open, even tho I was able to unlock the adapter from the in car console. I had to manually pull the door open to put the charger back in, and the door continually tried to close regardless of the charger being in and would not stay open, etc.

Luckily, I simply went to sleep on it and the problem appeared to have resolved itself in the morning. Definitely a software bug of some sort. I suspect fiddling with the charger while the car and Bluetooth key thought they were not in proximity caused the issue.

It's very possible that you simply have a faulty charging port door.

I put up with an erratic port door behavior for a while.. thinking it was just some occasional programming bug or whatever. But I had the SC center replace it under warranty and everything is back to expectation. Much better quality of life than putting up with this weirdness.

Update: Tesla confirmed known issue. Mine is fixed after 2nd software update. I waited 10 days and then cancelled my mobile service appointment.
