Not Even the Mightiest of Snowstorm can Impact the Swastidumpster
I'm more and more convinced this car was never actually supposed to be used by anyone.
My pet theory is dumbass was trying to hype up the stock. He drew something down a la homer simpson.
They had 1 guy actually working on it and added a page where you could give Elon an interest free loan to reserve a truck. After a while, he would give a refund and say it wasn't cost effective. It was all vaporware until someone said you could make the panels dirt cheap, just glue them down, and the profit margins would be huge.
Swastikoffin? Seems more like a death trap every day
Wait so the videogamey design is impractical irl??
Turns out, you need more than a few triangles. Wouldn't hurt to have some ambient occlusion and some antialiasing, either.
Can this become a standard feature? The headlights on all cars are too damn bright these days
I can’t recall which (Audi?) but at least one of them has a headlight system that literally blocks the light from hitting passing cars. So it’s constantly scanning for cars, and I guess it has fine control over which parts of the lights are on, and where they point? But it’s to solve this. Basically you can drive with your high beams while nobody else is the wiser
All the euro brands have it but it’s banned in the US because slow dinosaurs. Although the ban is supposed to be finally lifted starting this year or next.
Yeah, the "don't make the light shine up" is just regular fucking inspection passing requirements. The HID lights will auto level by law and the led matrix lights usually do as well. Or the more modern implementation is where it'll just turn off half of the matrix
My Subaru doesn't scan, but you can see a small divot in the light where an oncoming car would be.
Several companies have this now, but not in the US. For some reason the regulations don't allow it. Auto high beams can only go off and on, no zones. My car has the capability but it's software limited to comply with US laws. I guess it's cheaper to make them all the same and limit them than make different ones for the US market. There was supposed to be a change to the laws that allowed it in '22 but they fucked it up. If they ever fix the regulations it can be turned on with a software update.
it's comical just how many design flaws they managed to cram into one swasticar. there should be a list.
I'm sure there is one, in a handful of law offices called class action lawsuit
Man, this car gets funnier every day!
Driving in snow voids the warranty
To be fair, this is an issue on most cars, not limited to the swastikar.
Photo proof attached for the morons claiming otherwise.
As someone who lives in a very snowy area of the world, and has a car with a "shelf" in front of the headlights.
No, it is not. Car designers think about something called aerodynamics that makes sure headlights have air moving in a certain way to clear snow and also other debris from them when driving. The cybertruck has had no such considerations taken when designed.
Lol that some serious Front Fell Off vibes.
Growing up on the East Coast, I've never had to pull over mid-drive and brush snow off my lights.
I can’t imagine any CT driver cares enough to pull over and clean the headlights. If they actually cared about safety they would haven’t gotten the CT.
My SAABs all had headlight wipers for snow buildup.
Edit: Wait, no. I lied. My '82 900 didn't have those wipers, or a turbo, or really anything in the way of bells and whistles.
None of that snow accumulated while driving, bud.
No.
In the past with incandescent lights they would easily melt the snow off, I'm guessing that's not the case with modern LEDs?

That seems like it could be a factor.
It is, just not as bad
I'm convinced this car was AI generated
Good this way every other driver isn't blended by the stupid laser beam headlights.
