Tesla Motors Club

Hello All,

I picked up my M3 on June 10, 2018 and VIN is 24,xxx. Running version 44.2 software.

I am going to do my best to describe what I am experiencing. This has been like this since I got the vehicle.

I am fortunate enough to charge at home and at work using Level 2 chargers. Both use the J1772 plug and I attach the Tesla converter. All the charging works well.

At work, my procedure is to open the driver rear door (that wakes up the car) and I push the release button on top of the J1772 plug. That immediately stops the charging and unlocks the charging port. I then remove the charger, door closes, etc.

However, at home it doesn't work that way. At home, I again, open the driver rear door to wake up the car and when I push the release button on top of the J1772 plug, the charge port stays locked. I have to get in the car or use the mobile app to unlock the port.

I would really like my home charger to behave like the work charger does.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sincerley,

Vin
