Yeah this has happened to me once, so I think I just defrost the car ahead of time now. Don’t recall what I did to get in that one time — probably just scraped some ice, waited a minute for it to defrost, or used a different door? It’s a con, but carries very little weight on my pro/con list. I like the frameless look and would make the same tradeoffs as Tesla did. It’s that insignificant of a problem IME
Doesn’t Norway own more Tesla’s per capita than any other country? I’m not an expert, but that seems like a Northern European country. Is it a huge problem up there?
I recall Norway has been giving very large tax cuts for purchases of EVs in general, funded by their oil money. I guess you’ll just see high concentration of Teslas there it being the most popular EV manufacturer afaik
Also the doors freeze closed, because the stupid window design.

Maybe it’s not a big deal in warmer countries but for northern Europe it seems stupid as fuck
I’m in the cold. I don’t disagree it’s stupid, but you are overreacting

I live in central Europe (Germany) where it freezes every night in winter. Never had an issue, 3+ years of ownership.
