Alright, calm down...I'm not trying to make fun of anyone, but just to lighten the mood, as I'm trying to find a solution to my problem.

Sorry...I believed it was the work location field...changed!

Hello,

My Q4’s charging flap is locked and I’m unable to unlock it. This has happened once before, and at that time I was able to release it using the emergency cord. However, this time the emergency release doesn’t seem to be working—possibly because I pulled it too hard the last time.

I've looked online and it appears this is a common issue with this model.

f you have any suggestions or new advice, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for your help!
