Closing charge port door is a pain -- Am I missing something?

[SeaGeo]

First, there is no reason to unplug it before you are ready to go somewhere. If the truck is secure at home (ie in a garage, then you have the option to leave it unlocked.
Finally, you have to unlock to unplug anyway (security feature). The charge port cover can be closed via the sensor on the wheel cover right next to the charge port….how is that too much trouble for you since you unlocked the vehicle to unplug it and the sensor is literally about 6” from the port cover?!

You don't have to unlock it to unplug it if it's done charging.

I wonder if there was a not advertised change in the latest update...We keep our R1S in the garage unlocked and charge it every 2-3 days. In the past I'd unplug Rosey and then open the driver's door to wake her up and then I could close the charging port (I don't like leaving it open because I'm afraid the charge port door will catch on something as I carry things past it). This morning when I unplugged her the light around the charging port stayed on and I was able to use the touch sensor to close the charging port door WITHOUT waking her up. I even went to the driver's side and looked in to confirm that I didn't wake her.

Anyone else notice a change like that? I'll be charging again tonight (big trip tomorrow so we'll charge to 90% instead of our usual 75%) and will pay attention when I unplug her in the morning. I did not have my phone or the fob with me when I was out there.

Mine has worked that way since I bought it in June.

That is what I do. I use Undor.

Interesting gadget. It's it really necessary? My garage door seems to close gently and snugly over the charge cord alone. Can the cord really sustain damage without this?

my charging cord has been fine in almost 2 years of being closed on by my garage door. No sign of damage or impact to charging speeds.

Is the charge port door supposed to close automatically after unpluggging from the charger? (2025 R1S Gen 2 on 2024.35.0).

No... if you get in without closing and put it in "D" drive, then it will close automatically before the car moves. Otherwise, it stays open until you close it manually by switch, center screen or phone app.

Appreciate you confirming!
