Red Button on FWD pushed into door & disappeared

[MyMidnight]

I just went to close the FWD and pressed the red button, that I have been doing for months now. The button literally pushed inside of the car door and completely disappeared. I can now only close the door from the screen now.

Patience is key with this car but this is ridiculous.

Why can’t u use the buttons in inside of door ?

Aren't those for when you are in the car and want to open or shut it? We don't let the kids (5&7) touch any buttons.

You can use for closing door as well from outside I personally just use key fob to close all doors

I press them all the time to close the door right before I hop in the front seat.

Just call tesla service and have it fixed under warranty. no big deal. Switches break, not really a tesla-exclusive thing.

yep I have been using these buttons as I prefer them to the red button. With child locks enabled (you can argue if this is actually safe or not tesla...) you can close them w/ the button but you can't open them. Idiotic kids can still close them, be too small for the sensors and then get their appendages crushed a little by the hungry FWD, but that's another story.

Short of it is that, yes, you can use those buttons to close the doors regardless of child safety lock enabled

Thanks for the info. I kinda pretend that those inside buttons don't exist. I was putting a friend's kid in the car and was adjusting the seat, and she pressed the button on me to close the doors. I only really use the red button when I'm home and in garage, emptying stuff and kids from the car.

I should use those other buttons. The red button is kinda annoying.


My husband called service who said the mobile unit will be calling me. Let's see when that happens.
