    I was in the carwash this morning, and in the middle of the wash cycle, a message came up on my dashboard saying the charger door was open. The pressure from the water must have clicked it open. Next time I’ll be turning off the car and locking the doors so it can’t open. It freaked me out a bit.

    Thanks for sharing. Never would have guessed that the charger door was sensitive enough to be triggered by a car wash as I usually have to push twice on it to get it to open. :)

    Maybe the water stream was a just the perfect angle and it is unlikely to reoccur?

    I've been through a touchless wash twice with no issues, other than their discomfort having it go through unmanned.
