R2 Charge port door

[cthelan]

Does R2 have a reminder to close the charge port door if it’s left open. Seems like it would be fairly critical on a manual door. Haven’t seen anyone check on test drives yet.

You could look in the side mirror and see if it's open

Likely programmable and will probably be added to software in 1-4 years, depending on reddit anecdotes or upvotes.

Why not just close it after unplugging like literally everything else ever?

Honestly this is one of the cost cuts I actually am fine with. I get so annoyed washing my Tesla and the freaking charge port door always opens. Doesn’t like to be manually shut either, have to use the app. It’s just doesn’t need to be powered IMO. Give me a manual charge port door like a gasoline vehicle!

I’ve got no problem with it being manual. Honestly surprised the R1 doors have held up as well as they have. Just curious if they built in a minder on R2 when you put it into gear, so it’s not left flapping in the wind when it inevitably gets left open or not latched properly, or someone decides to play with it while your car is parked.

or in two Tesla household, I hit the button on the charge handle to plug in wife's Y and my Cybertruck charge port opens

I agree, but the R2 charge port door looks kind of flimsy compared to the gas tank flap on a typical ice vehicle, in my opinion.

BTW you can put the Tesla in car wash mode and it will keep the charge port door from opening and protect the vehicle from water intrusion, if I’m not mistaken.

Interesting. So it must have the ability to lock.
