Model 3 trunk beeping twice and stopping halfway?
- Thread starter dmc9817

Hi, this is a different issue. I had this happen on my 2021 M3 SR+ and was fixed by a mobile service appointment in less than 5 minutes. Since installing 2022.8.2 my trunk opens up halfway and beeps twice randomly. You can press the trunk button again and it will open up all the way. I now have 2022.8.3 and the issue persists. A future software update should fix it. At least it's not a mechanical issue.
You could say the same thing about Chlamydia, but people still keep giving it to others.
Chlamydia is better than v11.

Just for kicks I did make an appointment for the trunk issue. Someone called me to cancel my appointment and tell me it was a software issue.
I figure if we all make appointments it might show up on some service metric for Tesla and maybe they'll push a fix sooner rather than later (probably not, but one can hope).

You folks are thinking of this all wrong. This trunk thing is the latest GAME. A game of "will it open this time or not?", and it's way more fun than Sonic or Centipede. I play this game a good 3 or 4 times a day.

The game is even more fun when it's pouring down rain.
No software update will solve this. I had Tesla Mobile replace my motor strut on my trunk, but it made no difference. Still beeps twice at the top of most openings. I asked him about it when he was done with the fix and he just said, "No idea man. I'd bring it to your local service center." I just live with it.
I have a theory. The opener is now current limited to prevent deforming the hinge and fubar-ing the trunk.
Mine will not open fully like our 2021 model 3 did. I manually shove it higher - else I bend over. Tesla will bend over when it breaks under warranty.

If they replaced the hardware and the problem remained that would suggest to me it is a software issue.
The problem was introduced via a software update, it'll definitely be fixed by one.

This is happening recently with my 2021 Model 3 (delivered end of 2020) always when car is just waking up in morning and cold. Doesn't seem to happen when car has been on and warm. I am on 2022.8.2.
Like others if I press the button again, it opens the rest of the way. I haven't tried resetting the height. Maybe I will try that when I have the chance.

ever since I got to 2022.8.3 I had this half open stuck trunk happen on a made during fall of 2021 M3P
Even latest 2022.12.3.1 opened the trunk halfway
I have manually push trunk to height I need and held the button to set it again but it still does this once in a while
Very embarrassing and annoying
I see a 2022.12.3.5 come out but not widely pushed yet. Wonder if this is a quick fix for the trunk

It's clear the software folks at Tesla have never read the Joel 12... "fix bugs before writing new code".
Instead they seem to like introducing new bugs after introducing new bugs.
I'm still waiting for an explanation of why they touched the charge port door behavior and what caused the bug, and the same with the trunk. Now it sounds like the steering wheel is their next target.
It really sucks. I like the car, and don't feel like I have other options, but Tesla seems bent on actively ruining it, and I don't have any choice in the matter.

Interesting. I thought it might be a software change to how the car detects an obstruction to opening the trunk with camera or ultrasonic sensors. Only happens with opening trunk using button not from app or control screen. Happens in both our 2021 M3s starting after the same software update. For us it beeps once when it stops opening so possibly a different problem.
Just did an experiment. Couldn't reproduce the single beep problem but could easily reproduce the double beep behaviour by gently prevent boot from opening with a hand. So it seems like the double beep problem is a restricted boot opening or current overload in the boot opener and the single beep problem is something else.
I'll pay more attention going forward, but I'm pretty certain it's happened to me when opening the trunk from inside the car using the screen.
