Replying to my self. I am traveling internationally and customs wanted to look in the trunk. Third time in 15 crossings. After crossing I saw a junk yard and for less than $20 I put a used Mercedes part in. The motor does not operate, I have to push down to lock. But I can open the truck for now. Old motor measured 12 ohms. Ok for now.I am in the club too. Emergency not working. No service center within 1000km. I will stop by Mercedes dealership to buy the part.

Interesting, the rear trunk emergency release isn't even shown in the user manual any more (2021+), it used to be there, and it's still there for the frunk!I have refresh '22 MS. There is no emergency release for the rear liftgate like there was in the older, pre 2021 MS.
Anyone else notice this?
Because it is connected to the cabin.Interesting, the rear trunk emergency release isn't even shown in the user manual any more (2021+), it used to be there, and it's still there for the frunk!
I wonder how Tesla justifies not having an emergency release for the rear trunk. It's mandatory.
There may be possible exemptions if there is an automatic release that senses a human in the trunk. Or if the trunk is always entirely unpartitioned. Do either of these apply?
I don't know why Tesla considers they are exempt from what every other car has to have? Odd.
Fine. Well they used to have interior emergency trunk releases on the S and X. Now they don't.Because it is connected to the cabin.
Assuming that "connected to the cabin" is a correct answer, then the answer is turn around and go the other way!Fine. Well they used to have interior emergency trunk releases on the S and X. Now they don't.

Well... It has gotten stuck two more times. Fortunately, the sneak-up continues to work but it is pretty annoying to drive home with the trunk ajar. The last time I tried a little white lithium grease. I still feel like it is sticking/binding rather that the motor failing. If it keeps sticking, I will scroll up in this thread and remind myself what parts to buy.My first post! This just happened on my new-to-me 2014 P85D. I used the ‘sneak-up’ method to get it open the next morning. Because this thread provides so many good tricks to get it opened, I tried a little lubrication instead. I put a couple a gentle drops of Kroil on the mechanism and it closed and opened 3x consecutively. I’m hopeful that many of these issues aren’t necessarily failed parts but rather stuck mechanisms. I’ll report back if it sticks again soon and if it does, I’ll replace it like many others have. Fingers crossed the lubricant will help!
The price for mobile service to do it was pretty reasonable. I bought the $80 part and did it myself, but by the time I was done I had wished I had paid Tesla to do it.Well...

Not really. It’s easy to exit via the seats so one cannot get trapped.This happened to me on 2017 Model S. Shouldn't this be a recall at this point? This is a high failure rate.
Plus, the fact that the "Emergency" release doesn't work is worrisome. Wouldn't this violate some NHSTA law if it didn't work?
