Off-road giant with weaknesses in the snow
The Tesla CybertruckTesla's futuristic off-road truck, comes under fire in its first winter tests. Owners report that snow and ice are block the headlightswhich can lead to considerable visibility problems in the dark. An unexpected problem for a vehicle that should shine in harsh conditions.
The problem in detail
Cybertruck owners share their experiences on social media and forums:
- Snow build-up on the bumper: The snow collects on the front bumper and blocks the extremely bright LED headlights.
- Danger from icy headlights: In some cases, the accumulated snow freezes, forming a solid layer of ice that is difficult to remove.
- Accessory requirements: Owners:inside request heated light bars that could keep the headlights free of ice.
A user of the Cybertruck Owners Club reports that only one hammer was enough to remove the layer of ice. "I am disappointed that Tesla that this was not foreseen," is the criticism.
Reactions from the community
Opinions on the problem are divided:
- Criticism: Many are surprised that Tesla has not developed a solution for winter problems in an off-road vehicle like the Cybertruck.
- Relativization: Others point out that icy headlights are a general problem with vehicles with LED lights, especially with recessed designs.
However, one TikTok user reports that visibility is limited despite ice on the headlights.
What could Tesla do?
The community suggests that Tesla:
- Heated headlights or light bars could be offered as accessories.
- Design adaptations to prevent snow accumulation.
- Software-based warnings could be integrated to alert users to restricted visibility.
Conclusion: still room for improvement for Tesla's off-road star
Although the Cybertruck scores with many innovative features, it is clear that there is still potential for optimization in winter conditions. Tesla has proven in the past that it can react quickly to customer feedback - it remains to be seen how the company will tackle this challenge.
