    In the past with incandescent lights they would easily melt the snow off, I’m guessing that’s not the case with modern LEDs?

        Yeah, I was thinking about that video when I posted actually. Maybe other car makers put a little heating element in their lights as well and Tesla just didn’t. Either way, the big issue is the shape. On a traditional car it’ll slide off as soon as a little bit is melted, the cybertruck just has a shelf where the snow can accumulate.

        It seems like every Tesla is just Musk discovering why traditional car makers do things the way they do the hard way.
