Renowned automotive expert Chen Zhen reached out to Tesla's customer service to check the truth of the rumored automatic window - lowering feature that is said to activate when a Tesla car is submerged in water. The customer service agent categorically stated that they had never come across such a feature. This response stands in stark contrast to the online videos and real - life cases shared by Tesla owners.

In the video released by Chen Zhen, it can be clearly seen that after a Tesla car is submerged in water, both the trunk and the windows open automatically. Chen Zhen explained that this function is made possible through the use of chassis sensors and pure vision cameras. These components are designed to trigger the automatic window - lowering mechanism once the vehicle's systems detect that it is immersed in water.

This isn't the first time such reports have emerged. Back in 2022, a netizen from the United States shared a similar experience. In 2023, another Tesla owner also reported that after their vehicle was submerged in water, the windows automatically lowered and the doors opened, presumably to allow for an easier escape.
