Is there a technical limitation on why the manual release can't also mechanically slide down the window slightly when pulled to not damage the glass?
Also, why did Tesla need to use two obscure looking buttons with no labels on them to open the door[1], when many cars use the same obvious leaver for both cases: pull on it lightly to engage the electronic un-lock, pull on it again with more force to engage the mechanical un-lock. So simple, so elegant.

- frumper 3y agoMost cars have a window frame and don’t need to worry about lowering the window. There are plenty of other cars that engage the window down on the lever though, so no, it’s not a technical issue. The only issue I can think of if you just open and push the door quickly then it could cause damage and the Tesla can lower the window before it opens when you use the button option.
