After updating to the new app, one of out Teslas (2018 Model S with MCU2) will no longer unlock remotely. Locking works fine, can unlock charge port, but unlocking the car appears to work from the app, but the car does not unlock. The app eventually updates back to the "car locked" icon, no error is shown. Tried on both Android and IOS app, same behavior. Another car on the same account (2015 Model S with MCU1) works just fine.
Is anyone else seeing that problem (I know the app is a step down, my wife commented on the update as well, but let's keep this thread on unlock functionality). Did Tesla famously forgot to test on all flavors of older cars, did my MCU2 crap out coincidentally at the same time as the app was updated, or perhaps this is a known MCU2 "feature" (I'm sure Elon could spin this as an anti-theft feature)?
