Strange startup issue

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Every now and then my 2016 model S acts strange when I "start it up". When I approach the car the handles come out and the radio and displays turn on. All is normal when I get in and sit down. Immediately when I shut the door both displays go black, and the radio and AC go off. It all comes back normal after about 2 seconds. Almost as if it is doing an extremely fast reboot.

Has anybody else seen this?
 
Yep, you might want to contact Tesla Service. Looks like you might have a bad MCU. I haven't experienced anything like that personally and I don't recall hearing about this issue before.

Seeing that it only happens at start up and only on occasion I assume it's a bug of some sort. Not too worried about it but if it becomes worse I'll contact them.
