Unlock charge plug without opening door...THANK YOU

[ZackAttack]

With the new update 2020.24.6.1 now that my car won’t automatically lock at home which is a great feature, you can now pull out the charge plug without having to wake up your car or open the door which is amazing! Thank you Tesla, it is the little things like this that make it so great!

This is one thing that annoys me whenever I have to do to unplug the charge plug before going to work, glad that's a thing now.

I just pushed the rear door handle in a ½", and that would be enough for me to release the charge plug. No big deal.

Oh that is great news! I’m downloading it now. Today marks the 1yr ownership of my car and I passed 18k miles!

Of course that assumes you have your cellphone or keycard on you every time you are in the garage. This is the only useful feature of this latest release and I love it. The stoplight crap is still crap but will probably be useful within 6 months or so.

totally agree. Nice addition, just another example of tesla changing their features to alleviate user pain points.

OOOHHH

This is why I swear we never had to do it when we first got the car. I'm pretty sure we didn't enable auto-lock until a few days later. How did I not think of that?!

Well, cool. Extra benefit to the feature I will absolutely be using.

 

[Zsysol]

Yeah I would usually pull open the trunk slightly to unlock the car.

I don’t know if I want to leave it unlocked at home though. Even If it is in the garage I’m not comfortable with doing that yet. Maybe I’ll come around to it.

I really like the new feature that allows you to park at home and walk away without locking the car. However... I have the “Stats” app installed on my iPhone. I like this app because it provides some interesting analysis and info. But, apparently this app also checks the car from time to time, and when it discovers that the car is unlocked (even though in the garage), the app LOCKS the car and sends me this notification on my iPhone....

Does anyone know how to deal with this, other than removing the Stats app?

 

[AdamVIP]

Awww yes. I need this in my life. I hate having to pop the door open to pull the cord.

 

[TraumaDoc]

I just press the unlock charge port button on my app as I'm walking to the car....

They need to allow me to schedule charging individuals days instead of 'weekday', 'weekend', etc. It's like those dumb thermostats that only have weekdays and weekends. we've moved beyond that.

I don't use this app, but since the "Don't Lock While at Home" feature is fairly new, I'd imagine that the app developer will have to add an update to accommodate this new feature. Maybe you can contact the app developer through your app store and let them know about it?

I’m so grateful for this improvement. It was so dumb to fiddle around with the app or door handles just to remove the damn charge cable.

Now if they give us a more granular charge scheduler things would be ideal.

Send the developer a message thru the app. He's very active, so I'm sure he'll fix this right away.

If you go in stats settings it’s the should lock car if unlocked and unoccupied toggle
