Hi Everyone,
I just noticed an issue with my right-rear door handle of my 2015 P85DL. Unfortunately it no longer consistently actuates the electronic door latch from outside of the car – the handle presents itself as expected when unlocked, but nothing happens when I pull on the handle. The rear door doesn’t get used much, and I believe the issue started a week ago (when a friend had difficulty opening it, but at the time I thought he simply didn’t know what he was doing).
I had an interesting finding this morning. If I unlock the car and open the door from the inside of the car, it actuates the electronic door latch and the door opens as expected. Oddly enough, in this state (with the car still unlocked and the door handles still presented) I can continue to open/close the door as many times as I like without issue; however, as soon as I lock the car again, then the car returns to its problematic state until I once again open the door from the inside.
Some diagnostic notes:

Some diagnostic notes:
- The handle presents itself when the car is unlocked and hides itself when locked – there’s no problem with this
- The car still has all of its original door handles
- The lights integrated into the handles on the right side of the car (both front and rear) do not come on when the car is unlocked and I’m not sure when this issue started
- I just updated the software last night to the most recent build (but I suspect that the issue started last week)
