I've not done it myself but am told it is part of a. Newer firmware and you hold the rear hatch button down.
It seems a new firmware update has enabled charge port door opening via the car's fob. Anyone currently with a request in for a fob (over the past week or so as everything else has shipped) please check to see if this works for your car and let me know if you still want a fob.
Thanks,

Does the charge cable not release because your car is locked?
My car is not locked. I've tested that theory. Even when the car is unlocked, the long press on the key trunk button only seems to open the door. Doesn't seem to release handle.
--UPDATE--
Okay some testing and clarification.
(1) When the car is locked, as expected, there is no way to open the charge port, with the OE key fob.
(2) Walking up to the car, the car unlocks. Long-pressing the rear hatch button on the black car key fob (OE) will indeed open the charge port door.
(3) With car unlocked, plugged in, long-pressing same button has no affect on anything.
What is interesting is that I never realized the J1772 must have an internal switch inside (I always just thought you were pulling the handle off "hot"), because when I press the button on the J1772 handle, the circle goes from solid green to solid white on the car-side, and I'm able to pull everything out. HOWEVER, because I've pressed the J1772 button, I've also now mechanically disengaged the adapter from the handle, so it requires two-hands to grab the adapter "collar" and put it out at same time as the J1772 handle.
While this works, I see this as potentially bad first because it is cutting off power to the Tesla unexpectedly (I assume the OE Tesla charger unplugging may do so via RF, and it is the car that shuts off/disconnects). Secondly, the hassle of the two-handed collar-grab requirement. LOL's fob should, I assume, mimic the OE handle in that it will tell the car to "please stop power, and release"... and that is really the effect I'm going for, in a more native method.
But-- do others have J1772? Do they use a method that doesn't involve going in their car, or the key fob that lolachampcar is offering?
