Help Needed! I got into the DynoTest mode to check my pack size and stats on my new Plaid, but I can't get out of the mode. Running 2021.32.5... Entered "Dynotest" mode per the following;
  1. Go to Car - Software - Hold down Trim
  2. Type in ‘dynotest’
Things I tried in order to get out of this mode, include;

1. First, I tapped the "Exit diagnostic mode" radio buttom, top center, Nothing
2. Swiped the window down and away; it disappeared, but the "DynoMode" RED across the screens still remains, as do the alerts
3. Scroll wheel reboot; still in Dyno Mode afterwards
4. Turned power off in the Safety/security screen; still in DynoMode afterward
5. Left the car, closed door, let it lock, then reentered with key; still in DynoMode afterward
6. Now waiting to see if having it go to sleep will do the trick.
7. Note: Can can not find a way to get back to the tabbed window that first came up when I entered "Dynotest" at the start.... Is there a way?

In the meantime, I reach out to the community

I feel like such a Dolt!
 
Update:

For prosperities sake, the fix ( per @teknoprep ) is as follows:


Exit service mode (#1in OP)
Restart car; meaning "put it in gear"
Exit car (and let it lock itself)
Enter car
Go for a drive (but first make sure you have power above 15 mpg)

Note: If you are Power limited (to 15 mph), the fix is to Park, exit car, put in gear. There's actually an Alert that tells you to do this!

I was able to get back in after a couple days. Got in, took pics, now I cannot get back in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had the same thing. I was able to get back in a second time just fine. But trying to get back in a third time is a no-go so far. Right now, as @Muzzman1 knows, my car is being left to sleep to try and balance cells (I predict a 1% chance of this working), - I can't test it again in the meantime, but it wouldn't surprise me if entering Dyno Mode is limited to once per time period, for whatever reason...
