I was on the way to the store this morning driving in my 3 and about 60 seconds away from my home, the driver side door open mechanism triggered by itself! As if I had pressed the door open button, triggering the solenoid. However I had both my hands on the wheel.
Luckily I was pulling up to a stop sign and the door didn't completely open, it got stuck at the first latch stop. At the stop sign I opened the door and shut it and things seemed fine after that. I pulled my TeslaCam footage and you can see from the left repeater that the door opens a bit. In the Alerts it also showed that "Manual door release used, May cause damage to window trim", and then, "Driver's door open, Proceed with caution".
I have been wondering what could have caused that, and the only things I can think of is:
1) I washed the car yesterday (it hasn't been washed all summer, but is usually parked outside)
2) I was resting my left leg against the door, so there was some gentle pressure against the door from the inside.
Has this happened to anyone else? I will be reaching out to service as well.
