Socket Flap random opening

This issue was reported previously and I dismissed as a GPS related issue. However, I am now encountering the same problem. I disconnect and put away my charging cable at home and close the socket flap. Sometime later or when I am about to depart, I discover the socket flap open. I am 74 but not quite into the Alzheimer's stage. This never happens outside of my home.

Any similar occurrences out there? This is really a software driven vehicle and just one line of code can confound us all and MB.

Check the charging menu. It sounds like its recognizing your home and preparing itself for charging. There is a open flap option somewhere in there.

My issue stopped after I removed the GPS location for home and switched the charging profile to standard. I think there is a software bug that MB needs to address and I've already notified my service dept.

As suspected👍
I dont think its a bug but rather a feature.
