Cybertruck VS SNOW

[webspeedracer]

What is everyones real world experiance in the snow. Mine is actually good!

Cybertruck is extremely well composed and capable in the snow in the normal drive modes, and the “Slippery” toggle is even better for icy variable conditions. The truck absolutely rocks with legit snow tires, nearly unstoppable, and the Baja mode is incredible for busting through feet of snow, heavy slushy conditions that stifle any TCS, and for drifting/donuts. Just remember in drifting mode your inertial mass is huge, so plan accordingly!

The CT handles really well in the snow. We had about a 18" come down this weekend and I was able to get around fine. There is a mission critical problem though, at night, the frunk light bar reflects the snow coming down and basically blinds you. I could only see about 5/10 feet in front of the truck. Tesla has no option to turn it off and also keep the headlights on....

Severely disappointed. Went to the big open parking lot covered in ice to do some new vehicle “testing” and see what it’s like to do AWD 4WS donuts/slides. The truck wouldn’t allow me to slide worth a damn. The truck kept wheel spin to an absolute minimum and behaved like it was dry out. Disappointed, set destination and went for an uneventful drive in to work. Not sure what dynamic setting it was on but really want to slide this thing. Am I overlooking a setting?

Off Road> Baja Mode. Handling Balance to Right (rear Wheels), Stability Assist to minimum. Gun it and turn sharply.

Yeah, what he said!

Don't use your wiper with any amount of snow on the windshield. My blade came apart, bent in half and scratched up my windshield.

Seriously though, what a marvel of machinery! Everything but the damn wiper is so good on this truck.

Pro tip: slowly drive the entire track that you want to do doughnuts in to make sure there aren't any curbs or other hidden road/parking lot features that you may be forgetting.

If you don't, you will be reminded for quite a long while lol

Mine did really well in Tahoe in a snow storm, I was surprised by the level of traction with the standard off-road tires. Only weak part for me was the wiper which broke in a few parts when I sprayed the windscreen while driving.
Lessons learned and I bought some proper RainX windshield washer and I carry a spare wiper underneath the back seat.

where did you get the wiper? Tesla or auto parts store?

Yeah, that will cause pack heating, as will turning on climate from the app.
If you have extra SOC available and it's really cold, you can unplug the charge cord, activate the truck (if you have PIN enabled, you need to do that), and sit in it with destination set to a Supercharger (not sure if there is a distance limit). No need to actually put it in drive, park works.
That kicks in 16kW or so of heating and will get the pack in a chargeable state in 10-20 minutes at the expense of ~3% SOC per 10 minutes.

This is really helpful, thank you!

Autoparts stores don't carry Cybertruck wipers yet. You just order them on your Tesla app and they get delivered to your door. I suppose you could pick it up at a Service Center too, but there is no shipping charge for stuff I've ordered from the Tesla site.

I also bought a spare from Tesla Shop for $75, keep it in the truck as a backup.

So far mild snowy roads and some Ice here and there. AWD Dual MTR Core wheel AS Tires now granted I just got this in Nov so tires are pretty new. However this thing is a beast, I even tried to get it to slide and almost impossible so far. Cant wait to put Falken Tires on this.
