Isn't this the same one we've seen for awhile? That same led is out on the passengers side.

They better have some way to heat up those lower lights, that I am guessing are the headlights. They will get completely compacted with snow. I have had shallow fog lights become completely useless so many times before.

@greggertruck ,
- 5 points for not having a date of filming for the video.
+ 10 points for having a Cybertruck in the video.
- 876,431 points for it being vertically filmed.

Thanks for sharing it though. I'm just going to complain because I'm snickery.

I can't believe I never thought about that before. You're right. I've plowed through some high snow before and it was not fun. I wonder how much light the running light puts out? Really wishing that light bar in the windshield was still around

It's not just plowing through deep snow. Driving while it's snowing will fill any headlight indentations. You need flush headlights around here in the snow.
Your weather conditions must not be very demanding. Around here the snow will plaster on any headlights, even if they are flush or protruding, depending upon the particular conditions. At least the old energy hog tungsten and halogen lights produced enough heat to melt snow, but only if it was not too frigid outside. My Mazda had protruding halogen headlights and even they would not stay clear in many snowstorms. The solution, if the car is not equipped with wipers on the headlights, is to pull over and clear them whenever the view gets too dim to see well enough. LED's are actually an advantage sometimes because their lack of heat can keep the headlight lens cool enough that snow doesn't stick, if it's cold enough outside.

There really are no complete solutions to driving at night in all snowstorms. My previous Volvo had headlight wipers but in some conditions the wiper blades would freeze to the headlight and become inoperative without clearing them manually.

The fact of the matter is that winter driving comes with some additional challenges. Fortunately, they are all pretty straightforward to solve. People who don't want to take the extra effort simply avoid driving when conditions are that bad. They call in sick to work, skip school, cancel travel plans, or call a taxi or a friend or relative to drive them.

Yup. Nebraska doesn't get a metric crap-ton of snow. Minot, North Dakota was a different story though and that snow stuck to everything.

Was it determined that the lower lights are the headlights and not the upper light bar? I've missed some of the threads

So the only thing missing for lights is the rear quarter panel indicators... guess you didn't need them??

Rear corner marker lights for backing out of your driveway and being spotted.... I thought I saw a version with them right above the bumper in the nook before the steel... can anyone confirm??

Never mind.... spotted them on the U-turn CT in daylight video.

I like how the back lights change to indicate braking/accelerating, but it would be awesome if they also changed color to indicate the correct doppler shift (red vs blue) :geek:
