Yesterday, (after having owned my Tesla for a total of 18 hours), I put a suitcase in the front trunk (i know what it‘s called, but spell check is a PITA) that was too tall. When I went to close it, the right side latched but the left side didn’t. It seemed secure and the car would have been drivable at low speeds (an impossibility for new owners!)
The display showed it was still open. I couldn’t close it completely, nor open it (since car thought it was open), nor put car in drive.
Long story short, I called Tesla roadside and they suggested turning the car off (not screen reboot). When it turned on, the display showed trunk was closed, I was able to open trunk, and move the suitcase.
advice for newbies- unlearn years of forcing down trunks on oversized luggage
suggestion for future update??? allowing access to the “open” command on display when car thinks trunk is open (like pulling the trunk release in a regular car)
