Headlight visibility recall for snow / ice issues?

[JCERRN]

Have you tried not driving in blizzard conditions?

NHTSA would recommend you not drive in those conditions.

To be fair Crissa- we in the North often dont have any choice in the winter. Unfortunately, snowcats are not road legal lol

I laugh at all these threads. Build a fire. A big one. Melt it.

Sounds like a bunch of nicely early growing flowers.

The Boring Company has a product for that actually.

Who needs to be able to see? Just point that puppy in the direction you want to go and launch it.

You always have the choice.

It's not like you can't just hunker down in camp mode until it stops.

Coming from an LE and SR background: no one who needs to be driving in these conditions uses OEM lights alone on any vehicle, EM included. You need some low visibility lights specialized for this.

The off-road mega thread has all legitimate 3rd party mounting options on the market for this purpose.

Drive safe! Stay warm

its a culture. They barely even cancel school for snow storms any more lol. Let alone calling out of work.

Well, if anyone wonders why their storm deaths and road deaths aren't going down, well...

Yes it’s because people are driving cyber trucks and EVs with LEDs and can’t see shit lol.

All companies have their own issues in design and integration… but when you are a company so boisterous in how their product is superior in every single way known to man, you are bound to be under the microscope and called out on every shortcoming.

…Some more serious than others


an oversight in design should not go unmentioned, this is how we progress.

It is still a cool truck

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I've been driving in mountain snowstorms for over 4 decades and, regardless of the vehicle I drove, there are always conditions that will reduce headlight effectiveness. Even when we had hotter filament-based headlights. Do you know how we dealt with it? We cleared the snow and ice with our gloved hands.

People are so pampered and have such intense feelings of entitlement these days. Either that or they are just "journalists" in disguise who are setting up the groundwork for a story about Cybertuck owners having trouble driving in the snow at night because they were too lazy to clear their headlights (or they claimed the snow and ice was too "stuck" to remove).

Just dumb.

?? Amen

No recall

Engine heat helps the LEDs melt ice

A simple solution-just buy an ICE vehicle for the winter….so its ICE engine can melt the snow (Ice)! Lol
