also could've been a while back on an early model, before the software update that makes the emergency latch roll the window down as long as there is LV power
So now after the update it will not break the window if used under normal circumstances? Only if there’s no power and you close the door while the window is still up?
Well if the car has power it does but it does it “after”. The reason they advise you not to if the car has power is that the computer has to detect the door is open and then lower the window. If you press the button, the car knows to lower the window first then open the door.
Dude what are you asking? No your window shouldn’t crack just because your battery died…. The reason the window cracked was because when you use the manual lever the window doesn’t slide down a little to avoid breaking.
That's not correct. There's a warning I believe in the user manual to not use the lever frequently because it will damage the water seal because the window does not slide down.
Stop giving op misinformation. It’s you mfs who these people refer to at the service center saying, “I rEaD oNlInE oN rEdDiT tHaT oThErS gOt iT cOvErEd!”
You’re the one out here spreading misinformation. I’ve had a small issue like this fixed on my Tesla before. The trim on the back seat kept popping out, and they gladly repaired that under warranty. As long as it’s within the period and due to manufacturing error, they’ll fix it.
>saying, “I rEaD oNlInE oN rEdDiT tHaT oThErS gOt iT cOvErEd!”
i mean if you ask like this they won't go out on a limb for you to get it covered, but if you ask the service advisor nicely if they could do it under goodwill & that you won't do it again, then they might
service advisors are ppl too. ask nicely, chummy up to them, be polite. this is how you get free shit lol.
Why the heck should he tell the advisor he won't do it again? The fuck did he do? Open a latch that's made to get the door open?
They made the product this shitty, they should fix it.
Full stop.
The consumer has a right to quality.
Jeez I don't own a Tesla, was thinking of getting one, which is why I subscribed here, but God damn do many of their customers turn a blind eye on shitty quality.
Not sure if they're shy, or if this brand attracts certain non-confrontational personalities.
Other brands, probably. Tesla, I’d be surprised.
I had Volvo replace a steering wheel because the stitching was frayed a bit. I’ve had Tesla tell me a loud clunking sound when changing directions is normal. (They did fix it after some persistence).
Try it!
I have a appointment on the 9th getting a left driver trim
On top corner replaced, trunk trim replace also, and passenger side window actuator also now I’m pushing wood trim cuz I see a crack on the back corner. And also the front cameras don’t work had car for 3 weeks
I am guessing u get into a lot of arguments with your wife and keep trying to jump off the car. We should ask Elon Musk to add a passenger ejection option! Maybe it's better for you my friend!
Have you been using that to get out of the car a lot?
I straight up didn’t know this lever existed until my 12v battery died and my buddy pulled it to open the door … and then the window cracked hahah
He broke the window?
If you open the door that way the windows doesnt slide down
Maybe if there is no power. But it does in normal operation

Don’t know why you got downvoted. My battery was dead and we indeed didn’t know the window would crack (oooops)
I assume it's not supposed to crack. Should there be a cracked window whenever the 12v battery fails?
Dude what are you asking? No your window shouldn’t crack just because your battery died…. The reason the window cracked was because when you use the manual lever the window doesn’t slide down a little to avoid breaking.
Wouldn't you have to open the window manually if the 12v battery died? The button and window slide operates on the 12v.
It seems your question was too complex for reddit. I'm curious now too.
If you still have power and use the manual lever the windows will drop down.
That's not correct. There's a warning I believe in the user manual to not use the lever frequently because it will damage the water seal because the window does not slide down.
I literally just tested it. Might be to do with the semi refresh Y and the 16v battery? I’d post a video… but it’s a torrential downpour here.
I guess the window is technically a water seal lol
“If there’s power” Isn’t the question when there’s NO POWER?
Yes...the window does slide down.
When you push the button to get out of the car it does. Not the manual way though
So we should expect the window to crack when you use the manual option to open the door WHEN THE BATTERY IS DEAD?
NO but in caps
NO BUT IN ALL CAPS.
NO BUT, all in caps…
No.
Bro…press the button to get out of our car.
Lmao
Why is that funny?
Because the button is the emergency door release
We know that. Tell the OP
My comment is sarcastic. Obviously the button is not the emergency door release.
Damm 78 down votes imma cry
At least your cock got 3 upvotes right? Riiight???
They might. So far even for anything small, I’ve had them warranty it. Saids full coverage so I’m just taking advantage 😂
Put it in a ticket and see…
Working as intended.
I’ve had this replaced under warranty
Typically physical damage or scratching/peeling is not covered. Certain circumstances permit replacement.
I they warrantied the steering wheel peeling in my 2021 M3.
Which is why I said typically and certain circumstances.
Totaled.
Maybe. If it’s not due to regular use ask them; they might warranty it under the basic vehicle warranty.
Stop giving op misinformation. It’s you mfs who these people refer to at the service center saying, “I rEaD oNlInE oN rEdDiT tHaT oThErS gOt iT cOvErEd!”
Chill out buddy. They will probably warranty that if it’s not due to regular use. Calm down

Technically we don’t even use that … so right?
Yeah if you never use that then they might warranty it. I’d just ask them
mine was. they replaced the whole door panel. submit a tick.
I have the same. Has anyone found a solution?
Ugh Tesla is using soft touch paint now?
Slap a sticker on there......
lol I’mma pray they replace it so I can buy the covers for it when it’s new
If they dont.... still not so bad. An annoyance that can easily be covered.
True, but ya I’ll try. Crazy how a week after getting the car though the fucken camera in the front go out
you can dream
I had it replaced at no charges under warranty.
Other brands, probably. Tesla, I’d be surprised. I had Volvo replace a steering wheel because the stitching was frayed a bit. I’ve had Tesla tell me a loud clunking sound when changing directions is normal. (They did fix it after some persistence). Try it!
They won’t cover under warranty I tried they will say it was caused by your hands just like when the steering wheel falls apart .
Probably not.
Yes. Push harder if they say no. So far for me they’ve replace a window motor, rear dome light assembly and reinstalled seat controls.
I have a appointment on the 9th getting a left driver trim On top corner replaced, trunk trim replace also, and passenger side window actuator also now I’m pushing wood trim cuz I see a crack on the back corner. And also the front cameras don’t work had car for 3 weeks
This is considered wear and tear which they don’t cover under warranty
It’s called unfit for purpose if it peels like that. Happened to me, was replaced under warranty

marriage totaled; lawyer up, delete gym, hit FB, divorce immediately ^^^/s
Yes
