so it seems unpredictable when the driver's side handle responds...the passenger one will lock / unlock 99 pct of the time, while the driver's side appears to ignore me about 50 pct of the time...time to take into dealer!

Update: After trying different techniques / angles / methods of touching the small spot on the handle to lock the door, I have discovered the root cause why my driver's side door responds differently than the passenger side door: touch duration. When lightly pressing the driver's side door for just a fraction of a second longer, the lock works every time. In contrast, the passenger side door sensor requires barely a touch. Not sure what the "correct" specification is for either door or if there is a purposeful slightly longer delay required for the driver's side door. I still will take this into the service center just to verify if this is expected behavior.
