Every time anything goes slightly amiss with a Tesla, the media play it up because people like you who hate Tesla want to read about Tesla failure, so it drives engagement. Many many other cars have accidents where people get stuck in the car. There are other cars that have frameless windows and electronic handles, but you never hear about them not because they're any safer, but because no one cares about them.
The commenter said there was a benefit...
prolongs the life of the window gasket by lowering the frameless window a bit before opening
Whether that is worthwhile is another issue.
You know what else could prolong the life of the window gasket? A window frame. Yeah shocking and revolutionary idea. To be clear it's just against Tesla it's against every brand that have frameless windows.
Have you seen car ads? It is all about image. Like buying cool eyeglasses... oh wait... they always have frames.
There are eye glasses with half frames
