Charging port security pin deployed

[fadooly]

Have any had any incident where the inside security pin of the charging port deployed before plugging in the charger ?

I was trying to plug my car in my home charging today but the car won’t charge and it was showing cable connected and the charger was showing error sometimes and other times it is not doing anything

I troubleshooted from everywhere until I realized the charging cable is not going in fully

And I look into the charging port and I saw the security pin to hold the charging cable already deployed

It was loss so I pushed back in its original place

I am wondering what should I do if this happens again and the charging cable is stuck inside or when I go traveling the charging security pin deployed by itself

Is it broken? And that is why it was deployed

There is an emergency/physical release.inside the frunk right above the charge port.

Was the car locked? That pin is deployed when the car locks.

No it was open and the charge port was open and I was trying to plug in my home charging

Yea I just found out that in the owners manual

I will check it out today when I get to the car for my own knowledge
