Who else has left the charger flap open?

OK reference my previous post on this thread, I rechecked the flap open warning and it’s not doing the flashing lock switch LED anymore. My guess is that the function was deleted as part of the Comfort 2 update.

Yep guilty once too got involved with another electric car conversation person hay presto forgot!
Become very conscious of the matter now.

I hope you folks weren't dangling your pair of bungs too out of your flap...
That's a preschooler's mistake.

Yep, done it twice now, dangling top bung and all!

One Of my bungs hangs lower than the other - is this normal?

As long as it's only one of your "Bung's" that hanging lower, I would not be overly concerned !. LOL.

Only in cold weather! If it gets to cold they tend to drop off.

I haven't done it, but out of interest I left it open today and there was no warning light (drivers door lock light) or horn when locking the car as suggested by others.

To the best of my knowledge, there is NO warnings of any type WHEN you leave the charge port door open.
It needs a micro switch fitting to the inside of the charge port, that can be triggered when the flap is raised up.

I went to lift my bungs back in after charging last week and I could've sworn I heard a cough.

Hang on.....is there a micro switch in there or not?
There must be, if someone used to get a warning light etc before comfort pack 2 removed it????

Done once when I first got my 5 then took Evasive action to avoid it happening again store mine in that little pocket in the centre tunnel under the drive selector

 

[Elec Car Aust]

Lol, haven't done it as yet but there will be a day!!

A couple of other threads has reminded me that a few weeks ago I stopped for a quick 'charge and go' near Newark on my way back to Leeds.
Arrived back home some 70 miles later to discover flap open.
It had survived speeds up to 70mph with no damage or subsequent problems. Still working fine and dandy.

I nearly did it today. i had used my charging cable and after Packing it away I got back in the car and nearly drove off. Just remembered at the last moment. I need to have something as a visual reminder.
