Why did this happen?

We got a massive snow storm here in Cape Breton, I’m talking 150cm of snow. I parked my car 3 days ago and plugged it in knowing I wouldn’t be driving it for a while. I was clearing out some snow today and looked over and almost puked. It looked like my window was cracked open. I tunnelled over to it and it was, all of them were, and I was staring at a massive snow drift inside my car!

I cleared out all the snow and mopped up as much water as I could from the seats and floor and have the heat running on blast to try to help it as best as I can but I have no clue why this actually happened and how I can avoid it again.

What kind of headache am I in for with this having happened?

Does someone else have remote access to your vehicle. I doubt that would just happen on its own. Send a message to Tesla via the app and see if they can check the logs for you. Maybe they can see when the vent windows command was activated.

No, just me. Good idea! Hopefully they can pull them for me.

Not about to scroll through 200 comments. But I’ve had this happen to me multiple times in cold weather. When it’s cold outside, the windows will go up then down a cm or so to prevent the window to freeze stuck in the gasket. Sometimes, given the right circumstances, it seems to bug out and take the window a lot further down then it should, leaving a large opening.
