Had an interesting issue with driver side window two days ago. It refused to go back up.
I also had a strange feeling that something was about to happen right before it happened.
As i pull into a parking spot at the tennis club, a lady knocks on my window and says, "nice car, is this a Tesla", i rolled down the window and talked to here a bit. At this time, i was thinking that i don't want to open the door, not out of fear of the lady , but some strange feeling about that window would not go back up with the door open. Then she said that her son wants to see it and i decided to open the door and get out.
Showed them the car and then tried to roll window back up. Woudn't you know it, my sixth sense was right on. Window refused to go up or down. totally dead.
Called road side "obliviance" , 7:00 pm EST, and all they could do was take my name down, leave a message for the service center, and, download me a new software. i was on 4.3 (1.25.31), the sent me (1.25.4..).
I rebooted everything i can think of and no dice.
AT this time i decided to drive home and let it download while driving.
An hour later, the download complete, installed it, no dice.
I removed any fuse that has to do with the door and replaced it, including F39 which is the left front window motor fuse. No dice.
I gave up. went to sleep, a bit disturbed. It is still cold around here and my Monday is booked, soonest i can take to service is tuesday.
I did not tell my wife that night on purpose. I did not want questions and doubts about the car, i just want to go to sleep.
In the morning, (saturday) no sooner i tell her about it, i minimize it, turn my back and go get dressed, she is down in the garage tinkering. I have no idea she is doing so.
She comes back to report that the car claims that it does not sense a key fob in the car. Message on the dash "No key....". I actually thought she was reporting an earlier message.
I go in the garage, sure enough, she was tinkering but, i noticed the window lower than i left it. I go in, i see the No Key fob message. Does not even recognize my key fob either. I reset both consoles and, all of the sudden the window is operational.
One more problem left. While it goes up and down with the switch. It also goes down automatically when you open the door but not UP when you close it. Open the door and close it multiple times and the window goes down further and further. This makes me think that the door should autodrop only in the very top position, which it does under normal circumstances but, what state was it in that leads to this behavior?
That is good enough for me, i reach over from passenger side and I raise it, no issue, I can wait until Tuesday. I take my son to soccer. "Fail to Auto-raise" issue persisted through soccer game and lunch.
Later the same afternoon, Auto raising decided to work, did not do anything special.
I will take to service, this post serves as documentation for the incident.
What do you guys think,
something mechanical to came loose overnight?
Tesla did something during the night?
Multiple reboots to care of it?
Hardware or software?
Thanks.
