Hopefully they do something that smart? Not assuming they are that smart, considering how dumb this problem is.

Plaid center console light turns off when fully opened?

Yep, it’s actually fixed for me.That's interesting! Is it actually fixed now? I assumed it was a software bug because they all do it. Although, if they do swap it in software later, then your car is going to be backwards again....

Were you able watch what the technician did? Just wondering if this is simple enough to do ourselves.
Unfortunately not. It was a contactless drop off. Picked it up a few days later.

My car was in service for 10 days for another issue. The invoice ($0) said normal light operation. I called up before coming in, someone with a brain knew if the issue in general, didn’t understand why they blew it off, and put my car back into service. The estimate is 2 days, so they’ll either wait for a new one and swap (guess) or repair. I’ll update when I get new invoice. Stupidly, mine said customer states light goes out closed, and on when open. Um, yeah, that would be great!

minor update - the service chat indicated, "We did confirm the issue and are working on a fix now. We need to inspect some wiring but we also need to remove the console to get into that area."
interesting - that tells me 1) they're doing the 2 hour rewire/repair and 2) this will likely squeak more than a mouse.
let's see if they damage it, hopefully not.
what's interesting, is my neighbor brought his plaid in (same day for other stuff) but they had ordered his console January 7, and it's still backordered. I wonder why they don't just do the same wire job on his?
also they wrote back and confirmed that my research is correct - either a 2 hour wire job, or console replacement. i also quipped too bad not software, and they agreed, software would have been so much easier!
with any luck i'll get my baby back tomorrow.
for anyone interested, i had it for 17 days. tomorrow it will have been in the shop for 12 days. I hope i don't miss it's 30th day birthday

I picked up the car today. Turns out they apparently tried rewiring to no avail and have ordered a new console which should be here in a couple of weeks.
POSSIBLY a ranger can install it.
my neighbor's plaid has had a console on back order since January 7, mine is walnut, his is carbon fiber.

Yeah same here. I think they are all wrong? Except some people who have had the console hardware replaced?

My 2021 console works exactly as it should. I know a bunch of them here don't, but it feels like Tesla has standardized messing up a bunch of these for reasons unknown.

Well, good to know that at least some of them were right!
Was it delivered correctly or did you have to have it fixed?

If I were a betting man, I would wager the new console has the same issue. I'm holding off doing a service request until Tesla has a solid fix.

Since it cant be just re-wired, I would bet it was a supplier issue.
Whoever made the control board / switch assembly is at fault....
Could have even been caused by switching the supplier, earlier ones were ok but quite possibly had supply issues, Tesla moves to a new supplier and boom, a new problem is introduced.

Interesting. Mine is later. So, a problem they introduced...

At least one thing on your car works properly!
For whatever it’s worth, my car was built on the same day as yours. Mine is messed up also

Don't be silly! I also got the trunk covers, too! They were right there, in the car! Didn't even have to ask!
