can anyone expand on this? what does opening the charging port do, does it stop charging the Tesla

It doesn't do anything, and I've found the range not to be quite so large, it's just a funny trick to play on parked teslas as you're going by. They even close themselves after a small while, all chargers emit a small radio signal when you pick up the charger plug and the flipper emulates that, making the Tesla think you're about to plug it in and open automatically.

It's basically the door that covers the gas cap on an ICE car, but over-designed.
