Frozen windows & doors on a Tesla. Take extra care with frozen frameless windows!

Подробнее о видео

Teslas are prone to frozen door handles in the winter and also due to the frameless windows, you have to take extra care when opening a frozen door as some owners are breaking their window glass. This is because a frameless door requires the window to drop down when it is being opened or closed. If glass is frozen and not moving and then the door is opened or shut, the glass hits the window trim or frozen door seals which are less flexible in the cold and the glass can crack or smash. This video is a follow up to the previous video as I missed out the vent window option on that video. This is a particularly useful feature in the Tesla app as you can then make sure you windows drop and not frozen against the window seals before you open the door or unlatch the drivers door in the app.
This video was filmed in January 2025.
