I have to make a point to tell them to use the button.

So the design is flawed. 20 year old cars can drop the window slightly when the door is opened, why can't a semi-self-driving car do it?

sigh

It does. If there is no power or somebody swings the door open super fast it can damage/break the window. Generally it's fine.

Not even a Tesla or Elon guy but wow people just really enjoy shitting on these cars lol. That 20 year old car that drops the window doesn't drop it when the battery is dead either. Flawed design man, Teslas are ass, Elon is Satan 🤷‍♂️

Not when the battery is dead dipshit
