the other models are precisely the same, except with a lever or a pull to trip a switch. This is just removing the lever from the equation. Zero tesla vehicles (excluding OG roadster, which I have not seen in person) have a way to mechanically unlatch the door from outside of the car. They could all have the same failure.
Dude, any button can fail.
It gets more use, maybe some of them were parked with that side pointed south before a resin set, maybe people don't notice the other doors failing, maybe it's just random chance.
But those are more protected from the elements.
I suspect the driver door switch problem is a hardware issue. This switch gets used much more than the other doors.
Can you open from the app?
Yeah, that sounds like a glue issue. Something isn't glued down right so as you have thermal expansion or less humidity it stops sensing.
Was your old washer Stainless Steel?
You can unlock the truck from the app, but not open the driver and passenger doors, unlike the frunk which can be opened from the app.
Naw, but underneath the plastic buttons it uses an old style open air varistor keypad. Electrically, these are kind of a forerunner of today's electro capacitance buttons, since they're a doped silicone rubber they build up capacitance and stop giving the right reading, crossing with the neighboring buttons, Capacitance buttons are looking at even smaller amounts of current - the amount of change when you touch an object in different places - and can get fouled up when that object is misaligned or not firmly affixed.
Check for an “unlatch” option
Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
What was the final fix? Mine just did the same thing and my service appointment is 2 weeks out
