Tesla’s Cybertruck, the most obnoxious trend to emerge from America’s current midlife crisis epidemic, is best known for just being horrible to look at. But the latest TikTok video to go viral Elon Musk’s baby perhaps the most ridiculous yet. The Cybertruck appears to have a design that causes snow to pile up right in front of the headlights. And that seems like it could be a problem for anyone trying to drive these things in the snowy parts of our country.


Joe Fay, a Cybertruck owner who went viral for appearing break his finger While I tried to demonstrate the vehicle’s safety features in May, this weekend I posted a new video about the headlights that can struggle when it snows. Fay is reportedly a New York state trooper who lives in Watertown, near the U.S.-Canadian border. Daily mailand that is clearly an area where a lot of snow falls in winter.


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


Yes, we can guess the problem. Because it’s obvious to anyone who’s lived in a snowy environment before. The snow will pile up along that shelf and block the very thin band of light. And that becomes a problem when you try to drive and the snow continues to build up.


“These headlights are great. They are extremely bright. However, I noticed that the snow is piling up right in front of the headlights. So that can be a big problem if you’re driving in winter, because when snow builds up here, the headlights are completely blocked,” said Fay.


Fay, who appears to have a vanity license plate that says CYBATWUK, tried to give the Tesla designers the benefit of the doubt. They really couldn’t have been so stupid as not to realize this could be a problem, right?


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


Fay seems perplexed as to why his incredibly expensive car would have such an obvious design flaw. And he noted that he hadn’t heard of others having this problem on the news, explaining why Tesla designed it that way.


True to his word, Fay rode a little more and posted one follow up video. And while Fay seems to downplay the issue in his new video, it all sounds like a rationalization.


“So it’s clear that if the vehicle just stands still, the snow accumulates here and blocks the headlights. That is certainly a problem,” Fay acknowledges. “However, I only drove a few kilometers and as you can see, they are not blocked at all. There is some build up here, but the lights shined right through this light fluffy, well, wet snow. To be honest, I don’t think this is a problem.”


Fay seems to keep going back and forth throughout the video between realizing this is a problem and then insisting it’s not a real problem.


“So yes, there may be a few moments now and then where that could be an issue, but I don’t expect that to be a major issue that you’ll even notice if you purchase a Cybertruck. Because for me, I didn’t notice it at all until I saw people complaining about it. I didn’t notice anything,” Fay emphasizes.


But at the end of Fay’s follow-up video, he acknowledges a whole new problem. When it snows, the side cameras are completely blocked.


“What I did notice is that these cameras are always blocked by the snow here, so neither of them are useless,” Fay says before the video ends abruptly.


Fay isn’t the only Cybertruck owner to complain about the headlight design for snow travel. The Cybertruck Owners Club forum seems to have similar stories.


“I had the chance to take the truck out in the endless snowstorm in southern Vermont,” said one user on the forum wrote. “There was some snowfall tonight, nothing heavy / but the lights are totally inadequate.”


The user reports that he has several other vehicles that experience no problems in the snow. It just seems to be a Cybertruck problem.


“I have three other vehicles where there has been no problem (Volvo Wagon, G63, F250),” the user wrote. “The lights become clogged by snowfall, and the pieces that melt freeze and form a kind of ice wall that blocks the lights. This cannot be removed without a hammer (my scraper couldn’t do it). I was extremely disappointed with it 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 when you’re in snowy locations.”


Tesla didn’t respond to emailed questions Monday, but that’s really no surprise. Elon Musk abolished the company’s media relations team years ago on the theory that it isn’t really necessary. But we’ll be sure to update this post if we hear anything. We’re just not going to hold our breath.
