Close Windows If Rain

Why does everyone think that you can control Tesla windows remotely when that has never been a feature of the cars previously? Seems to me they are not under the control of the car's computer. Perhaps a third-party could plug a device into the can bus or wire a controller directly to the windows for remote control. That is an accessory I would buy, right up there with the Model 3 liftgate

Cars with the intrusion sensor could also detect people inside and disable close if so desired.

I think this is too dangerous too. I would like a notification in the app one minute after locking the car that the windows are open. Additionally, I could get a notification at a later time when windows are still open (my choice) and rain has been detected.

I can decide myself if it was a mistake or not or I do need to close them now, also with regard to conditions in car ensurance. Should this be another feature request here?

Sensing of rain is done using the cameras and the computer vision system, which draws far too much power to be on continuously while the car is asleep. So this feature request does not belong in "Software Features," as it cannot be implemented in software.

Well, Teslas don't have a rain sensor anymore... :( They use the camera. It's cheaper to use less hardware for more things.

I am in favor of voting for a notification via the app. That would be a nice intermediate step to solve this, wich could continue to exist if the automated closing is implemented. That way, users have a choice, only notification or automated action.

Other cars already have this feature. How can Tesla avoid it?

Great comments that remove all provisos from the desirability of implementing this feature, also for side windows.

I understand the arguments for safety concerns over auto-closing windows and sunroof -- although I'd counter-argue that all have safety sensors built-in by law to prevent harm.

Regardless of which side of the debate you're on, hopefully at least Tesla could implement a notification to the Smartphone App (or better yet a nice interrupting SMS message) if windows and/or sunroof is open and rain sensor detects precipitation.

The sunroof already has a "safety" switch in the rubber seal, on the front leading edge.

This switch prevents some one from getting caught in the sunroof.

You can open the roof all the way open, tell it to close, and when it gets where you want it while closing, just tap the weather seal, it will stop.

With the proper coding, the sunroof could be programmed to set the opening to a small vent position when the doors are locked.

(prevent some one from trying to gain enter or throw anything into the car)

Also, the sunroof could completely close when the rain sensor detects rain.!!

i'm pretty sure Teslas (and all cars with electric windows) sense obstructions (like hands) when windows close, and stop; no safety issue there.

Neat idea, but not urgent.

Suppose itś possible to use the rain sensor for this, so only softwareimprovement ?

would be nice

How about the option to auto-close the sunroof when in Park? Rain or no rain (Isusnow)
No, I don't like this. On a nice day, the roof should be open and stay open. A constant back and forth just because I hit park would be annoying. It may be a little different if the roof auto-closed on door lock, but even then: You may want to keep the roof open, at least a little, for venting hot air. And still, when it starts to rain, it has to close.

MB has had this option for years!
