Why you need to have an EV chat channel at work
A dedicated EV-owners chat channel isn't just a place for its members to complain about bugs in the Chargepoint app, or ICEd 1 charging spots. They also know about all of the quirks of every Tesla driver's vehicle–who has the Tesla with a battery that doesn't hold a charge, who has the Tesla whose auto pilot needs 90-degree turns-of-acknowledgement2 to placate the hands-on-wheels acknowledgement, and who has the Tesla whose doors are open. When someone posts in a noisy room, they're the ones will know where to find you:
This is not the same issue that I used to routinely see with the auto-closing doors on the Model X not closing. In those instances, I was relying on the car to recognize that I'd walked-away, and the fob was no longer present. In this case, I actually had both front doors open, as I was retrieving my bag from the driver side. I used the key fob to close-all doors, saw the doors move, heard a thud, and continued walking away.
Only, apparently the driver side door didn't actually close. Occasionally the soft-close feature hasn't worked when I manually tried closing the door, but clicking the fob always worked. Lately, the inverse operation has also been a nuisance: I would open the door from the handle, and it would swing back to the quarter-open point as I was stepping out3.

This is reminiscent of early days with the car, but more frequent, and now the doors aren't closing all of the way.
