I don't know any state in which lights from above are legal on the road, either.
I was referring to your second reply about stopping periodically to clean of the headlights and your response was that then you're not driving safe. Stopping on i-70 to clean headlights is definitely not safe!
Yup. I find this bitching strange. I live in Canada. We scrape off snow and ice. It's life. Snow will just blow of the Cybertruck (and any other car) at speed. Ice (and accumulated snow) you scrape off before you leave. The only headache I see is with sleet (the ice/snow/rain mix that falls and freezes to your car when it hits it). That's a problem for any car, and you usually have to stop every few off-ramps to clear it off your headlights, wiper and windshield. If you can't handle that, move to where the air doesn't hurt your face.
You clearly aren’t listening to first account reports saying the visibility is terrible and they did stop as frequently as they could to scrape off the ice and snow. The problem is the rate of ice/snow build up exceeds the rate of being able to stop safely on the interstate and mountain passes. This is unique to the cybertruck my MX doesn’t do this.
I've heard a handful of people complain about it. The vast majority of cold weather Cybertruckers I know have had no problem at all.
I'd love for them to chime in here with their experience driving through snow storms. Not trying to be sarcastic, being genuine, it's the only thing holding me back at this point.
I have 4 current vehicles here. A volvo wagon, a g63, a f250 and the CT. Previously a GLE63, before that a G550 and before that a Range Rover. Never had this issue. Not bitching here. But ice build up is not simply gone with a scraper. It’s think and bullet proof. I was hoping for some solution or remedy ideas. I wish I could simply scrape it off as you suggest but the ice is bullet proof.
We live in Colorado, where we leave for a weekend skiing trip in the mountains at 5 p.m. on Fridays. By then, it's already dark, and the drive of an hour and a half through the mountains is usually accompanied by snowfall somewhere along the way. The same goes for the return trip. Naturally, the more snow, the better the skiing conditions, so snowstorms become more of an attraction than a deterrent.
Totally makes sense. I don’t know man, maybe just some kind of mamby-pamby family tradition I’ve just never done any night time driving while it’s a snowstorm. Certainly not intentionally. Even thinking about skiing in Utah (which is where we normally do it) sure the sun goes down early and maybe I’ve driven to dinner or something in the dark, but just never while it’s actually snowing too much. Ski trip travel just means we’re getting out in the morning and getting there before the sun goes down.
OK, that's a different matter. I plan to keep mine in a garage but this could be a pain if you don't. I haven't really encountered ice I couldn't pop with a good hard blow from a scraper, especially after pre-heating the vehicle. I kind of enjoy it and imagine I'm He-Man or something. My climate may be a bit warmer. I have family in central Canada and their ice gets a lot more solid than what we deal with on the coast.
Agree, I live and ski by the 49th parallel where winter days are short so I've driven through a lot of nighttime snowstorms in Washington and Montana. I've always just pulled over and cleared off the buildup if I needed more light. No problem.
That’s good. In garage you will have much better experience in terms of the ice melting.
