2013 Tesla Model S Long-Term Road Test
The Tesla Model S has multiple warnings showing that the charge port door is open. So why do I see so many of them driving that way?

Since you can barely barely see the door open in your side mirror the dash alert type font should be bigger or flash or a specific charge port door alarm sound would be nice.
It's the exact same for a gas cover on an ICE, but for some reason, I never forget that one. Maybe it's because filling up doesn't happen as often and it's more of a routine. Since I'm plugging the Model S in every day, there's more of a chance for me to forget to close it. My main gripe is that there's isn't a button on the console to close it.
I also don't like the loud click it makes a moment after you shut it. It ounds like it popped open again or something.
In any event, I've had the car a few months and I'm forgetting it less and less, so I guess I'm learning.
