Purchased mid July, my 13-inch, 2020, with Four Thunderbolt 3 ports.
The left two Thunderbolt 3 ports are not working. Is anyone aware of any common issues, or am I just the lucky one?
Both rebooting and resetting NVRAM/PRAM redefine port definition.

Can you run the user Diagnostic...not as definitive as Apple's own AST2 (Apple Service Toolkit) back bench diagnostic, but may kick out an error code.
