And I've seen people ask where the handle is in my buddy's BMW. There's always going to be idiots. Acting like those are the most common group, or even near the average, is stupid.
This is the case for most vehicles with frameless windows. They have to move the window up and down to seal against the frame and to clear the frame. Tesla isn't anywhere near the first company to have frameless windows, they've existed for several decades, since at least the 1980s. There are a few old vehicles that predate electric windows, and usually have common issues with weather sealing, so it wasn't common until after electric windows allowed for better sealing since the glass could move up under the frame after closing the door. With all of those, if you aren't opening the door in a way that moves the glass, or if the window mechanism is damaged or inoperable for any reason, there can be damage. No one ever likes to talk about those other cars though when this topic comes up, because that tends to undermine the general assumption that it's something only Tesla does.
Whataboutism is agreement.
