That's just not a valid excuse to me. Tesla shouldn't strive to be the same as other cars. I think it's a fixable problem, even if it's not in my car but in newer ones they manufacture. Maybe they're working on it. But a handful of people here seem to think they shouldn't bother.
It has been explained in other comments that Tesla has specifically addressed cold weather issues in the past, whether this is changing up the locking procedure with regard to the charge port, or with the direction of air-flow during preheating. Others have suggested to use silicone lubricant to keep the window from sticking, and have pointed out that this has been used for years to combat similar cold weather issues on other vehicles.
I, personally, don't see this as any different than someone expecting Tesla to add cold weather rated washer fluid to the vehicle. I certainly wouldn't be blaming Tesla if my washer fluid froze to my windshield, I'd be kicking myself for forgetting to add the proper fluid before winter.
