Emergency Door Open - How to avoid?

[Sjohnson20]

I’ve been through 3 Teslas and it always happens. I have to tell them before getting out, they always will try the emergency release.

I know on my Tesla cars, if I use the manual open, the window rubs against the trim piece really hard.

I think it could possibly damage the windows, since they don't go down with the emergency handle

I honestly don't understand why the emergency release doesn't try to trigger the normal door opening procedure first.

The manual release does not lower the window, but triggering the “door open” sensor will.

Pull the door tightly, and lift the latch fully: nothing will happen. Open the door even a fraction, and the window drops. You’ll also be chided, but the message is rather demure.

When a door is opened normally its window is lowered slightly before the door latch is released electronically by the truck's control system.

If the door is opened with the emergency release the window isn't lowered before the latch is released mechanically by the release lever. Also, the emergency door release event is recognized by the system and a warning of the unusual action is recorded and displayed.

I'm not sure whether or not the window seal or some other component would be damaged over time by using the emergency release, but the warnings are annoying enough for me to try to avoid it.

An obnoxious voice warning would be nice. That way I don't have to be the bad guy.
