Hi, I had a lock-out incident today (late 2021 build Model Y) and need some help remote-diagnosing as I am not entirely sure it got resolved. We drove from our home (with about 170 miles of range remaining) to my 1.5 yr old's doctor office about 15 minutes away- no issues. I parked, got out/closed driver door, and went to rear passenger to take my kid and realized the door wouldn't open despite yanking the handle handle multiple times. I tried other door handles immediately - including the driver. Nothing worked. I immediately tried to lock/unlock with the app and while it indicated the car getting locked/unlocked (and mirrors moved out and in) I still couldn't open the handle. I switched on the a/c immediately so my kid doesn't get hot (it was 80 degrees) and the app indicated the A/C was on. I then used my key card to try and "unlock" but in the second try the driver's door unlocked. I immediately just reached in between the seats, grabbed my kid as we were already late for the appt, left the driver's door ajar a little and went to the appt. When I came back in 25 minutes, I first locked the driver door (which I had left open) then locked the car and then unlocked it to test if everything was OK. It seemed fine afterward.
What could have happened? Reading forums some indicate a 12V battery being dead. How can I check for it? Is this a Tesla service thing as I have two kids and really would prefer not to be locked out or have children inside a hot car (enough episodes have happened across the country). Finally, we also have a ATT outage (intermittent) but I believe this shouldn't be an issue as I have phone-as a key set up as well as the key card which should have theoretically worked. Thanks in advance!!!!
