So my mid 2018 Model S suddenly started acting differently, as it is refusing to acknowledge the key in the car unless placed in the rear of the console near the USB ports. For 3 years I've been able to have it in my pockets, just about anywhere in the console, on the passenger seat, etc. and it worked fine, except for very rare instances when other objects in my pocket blocked the fob from being detected. Even then, removing it from my pocket hooked me right up. Now this. I've checked and this is happening with both of my fobs. I replaced the battery on mine, too, and no help. Rebooting hasn't helped either.
This "feels" like a bug as I've had two software updates in the last week or two and I just don't see how a hardware failure would allow it to be recognized in that specific area but not within the broader interior as it had before. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen and how to fix it?
