Tesla’s Cybertruck, the most heinous trend emerging in America’s current midlife crisis epidemic, is best known for being hideous to look at. But the latest TikTok video went viral Elon Musk’s baby this might be the most ridiculous one yet. The Cybertruck appears to have a design that causes snow to pile up right in front of the headlights. And it looks like that could pose a problem for anyone trying to drive these vehicles in snowy parts of our country.

Joe Fay, owner of a Cybertruck that went viral for appearing break your finger last May, while trying to demonstrate the vehicle’s safety features, released a new video this weekend about headlights that can struggle when it snows. Fay is believed to be a New York state trooper who lives in Watertown, near the U.S.-Canada border, according to the Daily Mailand it’s obviously an area that gets a lot of snow in the winter.

“So I have just discovered a major flaw in the design of the Cybertruck. Let me show you,” Fay said in the short accumulated video. 3 million views. “The headlights are actually hidden underneath and can you guess what the problem could be in the winter? »

Yes, we can guess the problem. Because it’s a no-brainer for anyone who has ever lived in a snowy environment. Snow will accumulate along this platform, blocking the very thin band of light. And that’s going to become a problem when you’re trying to drive and the snow continues to pile up.

“These lighthouses are incredible. They are extremely bright. However, I noticed that the snow was accumulating just in front of the headlights. So this can be a major problem when you’re driving in the winter because if the snow builds up here, the headlights will be completely blocked,” Fay said.

Fay, who appears to have a vanity license plate reading CYBATWUK, attempted to give Tesla designers the benefit of the doubt. They really couldn’t have been stupid enough not to realize that this could be a problem, could they?

“Now I can’t imagine that Tesla just didn’t think of that when they put that giant shelf in front of the lights, but if they did, it’s honestly a horrible design,” said Fay. “So I’ll let you know what driving in this blizzard is like.” It’s gone pretty well so far and I haven’t noticed the headlights getting clogged like this. So I guess I’ll have to drive around some more and let you know how it goes.

Fay seems perplexed as to why her incredibly expensive car has such an obvious design flaw. And he noted that he hasn’t heard of anyone else having this problem on the news explaining why Tesla designed it like that.

True to her word, Fay rode some more and posted a tracking video. And even though Fay seems to downplay the problem in her new video, it all feels like a rationalization.

“So obviously, if the vehicle just sits there, the snow is going to pile up here and block the headlights. It’s definitely a problem,” Fay acknowledges. “However, I just drove a few miles and as you can see, they are not blocked at all. There’s a bit of accumulation here, but the lights were shining through this light, fluffy, wet snow. Honestly, I don’t think it’s a problem.

Fay seems to keep alternating between realizing that this is a problem and insisting that it’s not a real problem throughout the video.

“So yes, there may be an occasional time or two where this might be a problem, but I don’t anticipate it being a problem you’ll notice even if you buy a Cybertruck. Because for me, I didn’t notice it at all until I saw people complaining about it. I didn’t notice it,” Fay insists.

But at the end of Fay’s follow-up video, he acknowledges an entirely new problem. The side cameras are completely blocked when it snows.

“What I noticed is these cameras here are always blocked by snow, so none of them are useless,” Fay says before the video abruptly ends.

Fay isn’t the only Cybertruck owner to complain about the design of headlights for traveling in snow. The Cybertruck Owners Club forum seems to have similar stories.

“I was lucky enough to take the truck out during the never-ending snowstorm in southern Vermont,” said one forum user. wrote. “Tonight there was some snowfall, nothing heavy / but the lighting is totally inadequate.”

The user reports that he has several other vehicles that have no problems in the snow. It appears to be simply a Cybertruck problem.

“I have three other vehicles that have had no issues (volvo wagon, g63, f250),” the user wrote. “The lights get blocked from falling snow, then the melted pieces freeze and create a sort of wall of ice blocking the lights. This cannot be removed without a hammer (my scraper could not). I was really disappointed because I was counting on it being a beast in the snow. I didn’t take any photos while driving, but if you don’t take my word for it, you’ll experience it soon enough if you’re in snowy places.

Tesla did not respond to emailed questions Monday, but that’s really no surprise. Elon Musk eliminated the company’s media relations team years ago, believing it wasn’t really needed. But we will definitely update this post if we receive a response. We’re just not going to hold our breath.
