I can try right now but let me know what was the issue and how I can try to replicate?
I had the same issue with my P3D here in Denver just after an update. Had to use the manual release to get the plug out. Also had a clicking noise from the port like it was trying to engage even after I unplugged. Took it to the service center this morning without an appointment. They tried their supercharger and had the same issue. They put it in the fast lane and replaced the charge port in about an hour.
That isn't what emergency means. This is why people with emergencies are also waiting 20-30 minutes on hold.
Directly from Tesla, they add VIN to the list to receive a particular firmware version. If you're not on the list, no amount of rebooting or throwing chicken bones is going to cause you to get the update. Parking the car and plugging it into your charger causes the car to begin uploading data to Tesla and checking for any updates, so you don't have to keep rebooting. Finally, the car wakes itself up occasionally to check, so you can just wait for the car to get it. It'll check at least once a day if it's plugged in.
Ok, so that's basically that then.
No need to hear the whole story if all he's going to do is schedule something for you.
Seems likely.
Right, but if there's no update to apply even, then they won't be able to resolve it with software. Even if it was a software problem. So, the sensible thing is to put you on the schedule before all the other spots fill up. And in the mean time, if there's software available that addresses charge ports staying locked and erroring, they'll push that and maybe it'll fix your issue.
44.2 is when the winter update came. 46.2 is a follow on release which has added no further release notes, meaning it likely fixed bugs.
Two anecdotes don't count as data, though. That's the point.
You don't have to worry about an arc. The battery is fully disconnected from the charge port unless it is actively charging.
Neither EAP nor auto wipers require a connection to Tesla. They use the onboard systems to drive and identify precipitation on the window to be wiped.
My car both times were not plugged in and just on wifi and got the update. Just an FYI.

My dashcam is working again.
I've kept my usb stick plugged in despite it being unable to record anything after maybe a day or so of working. With the lastest update, I can confirm that it's now back to recording. Let's see how long this lasts.

First of all, most of the time you will get 5 different answers from 5 different people at Tesla, so “directly from Tesla” means dick.
Second, nobody is saying you’re going to get the update until the system pushes it out. But there have been numerous documented situations whereby people can’t get updates because their car is having connectivity issues getting back to Tesla. My only point was the rebooting your car can sometimes resolve those connectivity issues. But since you’ve got it all figured out you just do whatever you want.
Basically the sound system bass is almost non existent in the rear seats and in the front the bass sounds muddy (like subwoofer is off, there’s no low end).
Also some have said that even the mid range sounds less crisp/clear prior to the 42/44 series updates...
Easiest way to test is to sit in rear seats and play a couple of songs with notable bass... try turning bass up and down on EQ to see if you notice any change. Should be pretty obvious (ie no need to listen carefully... )
Same here. I don’t plug it in at home. It’s the only time while on WiFi and I’ve been continually getting updates. On 46.2 now and the car hasn’t seen a 110V outlet since August lol
I solely charge at work.

Yes this. No updates from anyone who has the update as to whether this is fixed or not?
No. Unless you're close enough with a phone that's set up as a key (& the car senses it). Otherwise you have to either unlock the car will a card key or unlock either the car or the charge port with the app.

More importantly, are the reindeer back? They disappeared a long time ago on the Ho Ho Ho easter egg. 'Tis the season after all.

Like @Garlan Garner, I also indicated this was an emergency. An emergency is a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action. While this was not a dangerous situation, it was unexpected and required immediate action. My car was locked to the wall and I had places I needed to be. The car was disabled and in the moment I could not remember the manual release. Emergency support could have walked me through the manual release and my issue would have been temporarily resolved and I would have been on my way. Later that day when I called regular support, the technician that said he would diagnose the situation over the phone rudely cut me off a few words into my sentence. Don't ask me to explain my situation then cut me of like you don't care.
Tesla Service did contact me yesterday. They asked me to explain my situation and after hearing I was on 46.2 they said they were not going to replace the charge port. They said they are forwarding this to Tesla Virtual Service. Apparently there were other similar situations they are dealing with as well. More than two anecdotes. I don't want them to replace my charge port, wasting my time and their resources, if it is software.
I have not had the issue since. I'll post back once Tesla finally comes up with a solution.

I admit to a couple of things...
1) I'm an idiot when it comes to anything software oriented.
2) I'm not the most patient person.
I just went from 42.2 to 46.2. Haven't had a chance to really check it out yet. Can anybody give an old, half deaf, overweight, lazy, well meaning guy a short synopsis of what should be different? That, or you can tell me and I'll pass it on to him. LOL!
