6th day of ownership.I just noticed this this morning. When the car is locked, the windows doesn’t go all the way up. But when I’m driving it does. Is this a feature? Won’t rain get in if this happens? Anyone know?

In winter climates it will sometimes do this to avoid the windows getting frozen stuck

Wait... what? Since when? My Model 3 never does this... How does it know when to raise your windows fully and when not to?

OP: Are you saying the that the windows roll up fully once you start moving? Or once you sit in the seat?

Yes, it rolls up fully when I start the car. So it was a tad bit warmer this afternoon. I did notice the windows fully rolled up after I drove and locked the car.
Does anyone know when this feature was implemented?

Oh wow! I had wondered what was going on with my car, I had thought my doors weren’t fully shut or something and the windows would jump when I got going in the morning... Started happening when my garage got cold in winter time...!
Thank you for this post, really solved a mystery for me!
The feature definitely works, it allowed me to open my door on an ice fog day where there was ice buildup.
