Fuel door locked me out

It seems that a lot of i8 owners have had an issue with the fuel door not unlocking.
My experience has been that after a long drive when things are hot the fuel door remains locked and the progress percentage on the gauge cluster stops at 25%.
When the car is cold and I just drive a few miles to the gas station the fuel door unlocks with no issues.

My question is about the fix. Some have said that a software update has solved the problem. Others have said that the fuel tank must be removed and a pressure switch replaced. They also mention disconnecting coolant lines to get the fuel tank out.

Does anyone have a real world experience and exact fix they can report?
