I just watched the manual charge port unlock video posted and it seems the charge port did used to lock immediately when you plugged in. Anybody else notice this change? And I wonder why they added the delay?

My car was plugged in yesterday when i did the update. After the update completed I tried to unplug the wall connector but it wouldn’t release. I tried hitting the connector unlock both in the app and inside the car but to no avail. The light on the charging port showed as red and there were a few error messages on the screen in the car. I tried rebooting and powering off the car but that didn’t help. I finally used the manual release which is in the trunk ( there are videos on YouTube showing how to use it) and that allowed me to remove the charging cable. A couple minutes later the error messages on the screen went away. This all happened in my garage at temperatures well above freezing.

Ya. Same here. I have had zero issues. Stays locked when charging is complete.

Installed last night.
In garage. Temps outside ~ 35° overnight.
Charges fine.
No issues with charge port.
My car was garaged at 7°C and plugged in during the update. When it was time to leave, the charge cable could not be released using the regular means (button on handle, screen options, reboot etc). I had to use the manual release.
If this is an anomaly because of the upgrade process I'll let it go. Has this happened to people multiple times?
Not loving the 'improvements'.

Ok. I've been checking my charge cable every day since the update. It stayed locked until today. Now I can just pull it out. Garage is at +6C.

I was unable to remove the EVSE handle from the port today. Fiddling with the manual release did not allow me to remove the handle but after watching the above movie I think I was going about it wrong. I kept trying to pull the handle when the port light was white. It eventually came out when I pulled the manual release and disengaged the handle on the RED light.
My memory may be wrong that typical use lets me pull the plug when the port light is white but there is no doubt that removal using the manual release happens when the port light is red.

So every time I walk by the car I try and remove the charge cord. This morning it wasn't locked. This evening it's locked. Car isn't charging. Seems random.

Can't say that I've experienced any of these issues myself....yet anyway. I tested a couple times when plugging in at work. the port locks with the car. I normally unlock it from the app when walking out of my office and haven't had any issues.
For those experiencing issues, please make sure you submit bug reports and call support to let them know what is happening.

Long press the right scroll wheel or press the microphone icon on your center screen, then say "Bug report I am having a problem with...."
When you stop speaking, it will send.

Got this one and had no problems. Always loved computers and how identical looking machines could react so differently to the same update.
I think it might be a good idea to hold off on the update if you are not experiencing the issues that the update was supposed to fix. That is what I am going with, for now anyways. There seem to be too many issues coming from the update. and I have not had any problems with the cold weather conditions so far. GlenM posted a great video about the emergency release for those that have their chargers stuck in the charging port. Hopefully the issues get resolved for everyone dealing with them.
Had to call roadside service about an hour ago. Got home from work and the car refused to lock in the charge cable.
Just a bunch of clicking noises and then a yellow T.
I had to take a hair dryer to the charge port to loosen up the little latch so the car would lock the cable.
Rediculous thing is that there was no moisture at all in the charge port.. was just -1C.
Pretty damn annoying!
And yes.. i have the 44.2 "improvements"

Weird, my cable never locks until the car starts charging. What cabin temperature do you run at?

I've finally experienced the car showing the "charge cable not properly inserted" error in the app and the J1772 adapter remaining unlocked before my scheduled charge time begins.
