2020 SQ8 just started acting up - driver rear door handle sticks, hard to open, sets off alarm randomly when opened, "central locking malfunction" warning message appears, soft close sometimes doesnt work....
Any solutions?

I have read that there was a software update but it doesn't cure the problem. Most have to replace the door actuators. Cheapest source is Aliexpress at $62 per door

Actuator problem. had mine a year before I could get the dealer to swap out for warranty. Made the rear driver's side door unusable if I had to lock the car. Sometimes it would reset. I think it's a known problem now - in 2020 for RSQ8, it was a brand new problem.

My 2021 RSQ8 had the same problem. They replaced the actuator. Not sure if I had anything to do with it or if it was just a part malfunction. I have learned to grab the handle and hold it for a sec (to hear the acuator open) before pulling the handle. Havent had the issue again.

I went ahead and ordered replacement for all 4 doors from Ali Express. Price has gone up to $72 per corner
