Thermal shock is only a problem if the glass has a scratch or chip. Hair dryer can damage the car. Alcohol is for drinking.Need to be careful pouring hot water on a freezing cold window. My dad did that when I was a kid and cracked the windshield.
My Model S window decided to freeze today. I stupidly yanked the door open but then couldn't close it while inside the car since the glass hits the brightwork. Can't force the window down manually either. I managed to close the door while outside the car by pushing/bending the top of the window under the brightwork. Then I tried to lock the car with the fob and the lights stayed on (car thought the door wasn't shut). I had to slam on the door just to get the car to turn off. Tomorrow I'll try using either a hair dryer or alcohol or something to unfreeze the window.
Hot water is best.
