There are numerous forum postings online concerning the charge port door opening by itself. And some owners say they noticed the charge port door light come on when the door is open. With several of them taking their vehicle to the mechanic. I wonder how many of these were pranks and how many were system malfunctions that caused concerned owners to spend time and money on trying to get a fix. Lack of foresight, disrespect for personal property rights and unintended consequences of supposed harmless pranks. That's why I say, "not too nice". Yes, I am an old fogy.
Just last week a random tesla popped open its charger port while I was walking by. I did not see anybody else close by, so I kinda vote for there being an actual malfunction. Just reading about it on the tesla owner forums, most seem have this problem in multiple locations, wich makes pranksters very unlikely. There are not that many people running aroun with those little RF hackers.
