Not Even the Mightiest of Snowstorm can Impact the Swastidumpster

I'm convinced this car was AI generated

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

Driving in snow voids the warranty

LMFAO this is literarily the Homer car, except way uglier 😂
- The Homer has a separate bubble for the kids and for that reason alone it's better
  
  He also gave us the ample cup holders we now consider indispensable.

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
  
  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.
  
  I'm already blinded by the time it detects me. They should ban those systems. You can tell when it kicks in, and it's always too late. Modern lights are great for the driver but shit for everyone in front of em.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  That is pretty neat. I have to wonder if it has any way to avoid blinding pedestrians or cyclists

I feel like an entire college engineering seminar could be made about how not to do things like ~~this~~ the cybersuck.
- The engineers understood this, they just took their paycheck and went home. The people who need this seminar aren’t engineering majors, they’re business majors who need to be taught that taking shortcuts on your way to profits is going to lead to failure later. Granted we’re far too deep in the hole of capitalism for that lesson to even matter any more
- Hell, we have professional seminars about shit like this. Especially once the bodies start piling up.

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.

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.

Man, this car gets funnier every day!

Swastikoffin? Seems more like a death trap every day

To be fair, this is an issue on most cars, not limited to the swastikar.
Photo proof attached for the morons claiming otherwise.
- Reply to the idiotic photos that proves what every one else has said.
  Look at the photos, the cars a stationary or at best moving very slowly.
  At speed the air moving past the headlights would clear them off snow and crap.
  The Cybertruck has no smooth lines to help the air move snow and crap away from the light as you are driving it.
  I am a Swede, I am used to snow and how it behaves, I am also very familiar with how snow interacts with car body shapes.
- 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.
- 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.
  
  That or Volvos used to have incredibly cute wipers for the headlights
- I need to know what goes on in Scott's life that it happens to him three times a month.
  
  Lol that some serious Front Fell Off vibes.

- No, not really, most cars does not have recessed headlights
  
  Most cars have front bumpers that extend beyond the headlights. Snow accumulates on said bumpers, in front of headlights. This is why when it snows, and have to brush off your car, you brush by the headlights, roof, hood, and trunk because snow has a habit of piling up on flat surfaces. Sometimes, you even have to brush the snow off your side windows.
- Nope. Try again
- I've never once experienced this on any car I've ever driven. Yes, you might have to brush the snow off if the car has been sitting in it for a long while. But accumulation while driving? Never.
- cope and seethe
  
  Cope ans seethe about what exactly? Cars have bumpers. Bumpers accumulate snow. Snow accumulation on front bumpers, which are normally found near headlights, blocks said headlights.
  Don't be an idiot you moron.
- 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
