A firmware update shouldn't change how the charge port door opens and latches and such.
Your car is supposed to work properly NOW....right now..... However- if you accept their response....more power to ya.

Because they cost significantly more than the model 3 and, according to Tesla "Model S is our flagship, premium sedan with more range, acceleration, displays and customization options." Just like the S and the X both have smart preconditioning and the model 3 doesn't. As with every other car brand there are going to be differences between models, I'm just saying that some of these requested features may not be brought to all models.
That probably isn't cold enough, I'd expect it would have to be, at least, below 30 degrees F, probably even colder than that.

I understand what you are saying about the flagship concept, however its only software. They wouldn't lose out on any money by providing a software update that included a feature. Especially since the S & X are going to be following in the 3's gui footprint and design.
Lastly - The flagships are going to be incorporating the features of the "non-flagship" model 3. Looks like the shoe is actually turning out to be on the other foot concerning the 3 vs S & X.
The financial flagship is going to be the 3...if it isn't already.
It might not even be entirely a monetary decision, they may just do it so that there are still differentiating features between the models. Also, there is still the missed opportunity cost of someone not buying an S or X because they can get all the same features in a 3. Maybe not these specifically, but the total of all differences could easily sway someone who has the extra $ to the more expensive model.

Great points..
There should be a thread created.....What are the differences between the current S & X vs. 3 ( besides the heated steering wheel ).

Could just be a coincidence but after receiving the 2018.50 update last night I noticed my car pulling to the right this morning on my way to work. I quick google search returned some results saying this was a bug in the past but should have be fixed with a firmware update. I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this after getting this update or maybe it's a mechanical issue with my car and the timing is just a coincidence. Either way probably gonna schedule service for that and a couple other minor issues.
I'd be happy if the rear view camera was recording all the time like they did with the front cam.

Oh yeah...I heard about that.
This was a heavy update. The CPU is in the glovebox - which is on the right side of the car. The service center can unload the previous versions to lighten the load. LOL
JUST KIDDING !!!!! Geesh….don't be so serious everyone. JUST KIDDING !!!!! I put an LOL on it...good greif- I couldn't help myself.
Seriously though. A service call would easily resolve this issue.
Seriously. Is it really that hard for everyone to keep the thread on the rails?
I just left the service center yesterday asking about this (as that was one of the issues I took it in for). The tech told me that it is currently being worked on (and understood to be a problem) and is currently slated for being fixed in firmware version 52.X whenever that is released.
I can't guarantee it , but I have been testing the Web browser on the Model 3 ever since I got my car 11/10/2018 and this last update has made a very significant difference. Here is some proof :
2018.50 seems to have fixed the winter-tire limited-regen issue on RWD cars. My car with X-Ice XI3 tires is back to normal regen again.
This wasn't a significant issue for AWD cars or cars using the "performance" winter tires that Tesla sells. But, it was a major pain for those of us with RWD and real winter tires.

Yeah, should be done any minute now. Lots of 3’s with 2018.50 showing up on TeslaFi now, so it’s likely seeing a broader rollout.
Edit: Update completed after a little over 20 minutes. It is indeed 2018.50. I’ll put it through it’s paces during my morning commute tomorrow.
