There’s a slight problem with the Tesla Cybertruck design, but only if you need the headlights to work in the snow

There’s a reason that Consumer Reports rated Tesla 27th out of 28 vehicle manufacturers for reliability, and it isn’t because they’re part of a deep state conspiracy to stop Elon Musk from building a Death Star, or whatever his engineers are working on.

There have been so many problems with the Cybertruck that we suspect it’s dragging the Tesla average right down.

There was a recall when some of the Cybertrucks were – terrifyingly – experiencing a stuck accelerator.

It’s massive rear end makes it unsuitable for certain angles when it goes off-road.

The almost unbeievably flimsy solution to a stuck charger seems to be a one-time-only deal – and it you get stuck after that, you’re goosed.

So, it wasn’t the biggest shock we’ve ever had when we spotted this TikTok by Cybertruck owner Joe Fay, who has just discovered that his car isn’t snow-friendly.

Here’s why.

Oh, well. It’s not like the time you most need your lights to be reliable is when you’re driving in dark and unsafe conditions or anything.

Let’s take a look at the comments.

I truly believe that Elon built these things to prove that people will buy anything he sells, no matter how horrible it is.

That truck is built to get groceries in California. Nothing else.

The heat from the tow vehicle’s exhaust will prevent snow build up.

The clip found its way to Bluesky.

Guess what! There was even more mockery.

Perhaps there’s a tech genius with loads of money who could put it right.
