When it's cold, the car will lower the windows automatically so that when you come back you can get in even if the door handle is frozen shut.
That’s what I thought. But it seems stupid to leave the windows open. This better be an option. 
If I have used silicone or whatever on my seals and don’t want the windows open on my car, that’s MY choice. No?
What other option could this be? And same for the charging. Leave the door open? So water gets really in? WTF.

It’s weird. From the video I saw on reddit it’s down only a millimeter or two. Not what it does when you open the door. It may be trying to break the frozen part as you say but not enough to clear the top if it can’t move at all. I thought it meant it was going to ‘preopen’ the window as it does when you open the door and that was a lot.
Confused what it actually accomplishes now as it could (re-)freeze in the new position, no? Or are we trying to let damp air out also so it can’t freeze?
I think it makes the window low enough that even if it can't lower it isn't trapped in the gasket or hits the trim when you open it.
There's another thread where somebody posted a link to a reddit thread where somebody posted a video showing the window behavior.
When cold it closes the window than opens it slightly so it's not totally against the top seal.
I really hope it's a temporary workaround.
I just updated to this, and my first supercharging session I couldn't unlock charge port from in car or via app. Only able to unlock from pushing the button on the cable.... -11c right now and was fine yesterday. Didn't know what to do sitting there with the family and a locked port. Didn't know pushing the button on cable would unlock until I searched.

Um ya, the fix they’ve described is to simply open, and leave the windows and charge port door open...

Woke this morning to find the app stating charging will begin at 4:00am ..........2 hours ago!!!!! ....now getting 19 km/hr in saying 2hr 20 min remaining. Hope a reboot will fix that issue. Car is outside in -4c hmmm to pre-heat before I leave or not...decisions in the morning lol

No, it doesn't leave the door window open. From what I can tell, it just doesn't push all the way in to the (slot) seal.
This means if there is moisture, the frozen surface area is minimized. With a minimal amount of frozen surface area, the windows should be able to still open the windows.
On my car the window still needs to lower itself to clear the trim.

I noticed this morning when I start the car I hear the windows roll back up to the very top, so no worries about wind noise.

Has anyone tested if the car unlocks the charge port once charging has finished as reported elsewhere? If so, that would be a potential issue for me since I often charge from a J1772 charger at work and anyone could just pull out and walk away with the $100 Tesla adapter ...
