But you could read the article first...
That's the tax. "You want to get out of your crippled car and not have a heat stroke? Go buy a new proprietary window from GlassX."
IIRC Teslas roll the window down slightly when you open the doors, and this doesn't work if the car's dead.
Lots of cars do this. My old boss had a 350Z in like 2009 that lowered the window when you opened the door.
Yes that's a risk, but would you rather have a broken window or be caught in a burning car? More important it still works after a power failure.
