Tesla isn't the only manufacturer of doors with frameless windows. They are the only ones I know of who have electric-only door latches.

The computer can have the window cracked before the handle is fully pulled. And if it fails to do so, the door opens anyway.

A better solution is a fucking window frame.

My car has frameless windows. But they don't need the window to be in any particular place. Literally 100% up or down, and the door works fine. I don't understand why they designed cars that have this problem.

But yeah, framed windows work great too.
