I was just about to make a new thread. I'm glad I found this one. Same thing happens to me, but it seems to be random. Sometimes at SCs, sometimes home charging... the port closes .25-.5 second after detaching. I barely cleared it this morning.

I dunno, I just tried it in case maybe I was crazy. Obviously when the car is locked no amount of pushing/jiggling can get the charge port door open, but I tested it to be sure. It does wake up when the door handle is pulled (audible contactors) but it doesn't do anything more.Oh, pressing the door handle to wake the car (Model 3) is definitely a thing. If your phone's presence doesn't wake the car, you can press the J1772 button as long as you like and NOTHING will happen. Pushing the door handle in will wake it immediately (as long as you push it in far enough...obviously opening the door is far enough )
What I do is unlock the charging port with the app then pull the connector+adapter out once the Tesla symbol is WHITE. I do not click the connector button or else it deactivates the power physically from the EVSE and also disengages the adapter...leaving the adapter in the vehicle port.I am new to Tesla, I just got the model 3 long range not too long ago, I have a question about the charging port door. Do you guys find the port door closes too quickly after you unplug the charger? I am using the 32A 240V Mobile Charger on 14-50, here are 3 cases I tested:
Case A: After the charging is completed and my car is LOCKED.
(A1): I used the app to Open the charging port door and then
(A2): Unlocked the charging port
Result: When I pulled the charger out, the charging door closed SO QUICKLY, like within 0.5 seconds. If I do it slowly, it actually hit the charger.
Case B: After the charging is completed and my car is LOCKED.
(B1): I used the app to UNLOCK the CAR DOORS, and
(B2): Opened the charging port door, then
(B3): Unlocked the charging port
Result: This time, when I pulled the charger out, the charging port door stayed open for 10 seconds, and then automatically closed by itself.
Case C: After the charging is completed and my car is LOCKED.
(C1): I walked to the driver door with my phone and unlock the door physically, door remain open.
(C2): I used the app to Open the charging port door, then
(C3): Unlocked the charging port
Result: When I pulled the charger out, the charging door closed SO QUICKLY again similar to case #A which is annoying.
Do you guys experience the same? Wondering why can't the charging port door always has a delay like Case B? I can't seem to find a setting on this. I have updated to the latest firmware 2021.44.25.2 and the behavior is the same for older firmware I had before. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

So we’ve been charging via J-1772 lately because the garage is full of a painting project for Christmas. Obviously when using a J-1772 charger there is no button to push.They all do that. Would be nice, if it was slower, but it’s not a big problem. If you know it’s quick, just be faster.
