If you're having a bad day, just remember that it's going to be winter soon and imagine what will happen to all the Cybertrucks ❤️

Salt-rusted unprotected steel panels... Meltwater getting into poorly constructed and poorly isolated electronics... Stuck in snowdrifts that a real truck would have been able to deal with... Oh, those are indeed happy images. Yes indeed...

It's winter in the US is anything happening to all the cybertrucks

No snow here yet. Lots of Cybertrucks in my area, so I’ll keep an eye out.

Keep us updated I am so curious to see how they handle Normal Weather

There should be Cybertruck Winter, like Fat Bear Week. Where we see which cybertrucks fall first and which ones make it to the end in usable condition.

Dispatch from the far northern hemisphere and have witnessed a Cybertruck in the winter wilds.

We're early enough into the snow season in that the damage isn't obvious. My guess is that exposure to road salts are really going to destroy these ambulatory dumpsters, but we won't start to see that until spring. Road salt is difficult to impossible to get off in a regular car wash, and we know that Cybertruck can't handle even that.

On the one I saw, any metallic shine that the Cybertruck had was completely lost in a combination of cold winter temps, light street grunge, and lower ambient sunlight. It was the same color as my friend's early 2000s silver pickup truck. One of the big draws, imo, is that stainless steel panelling and to see it turn into the same shade of grey as one of the most popular truck colors twenty years ago would be disappointing to me. It's not special anymore.

Local Cybertruck enthusiasts who are salty dogs at winter driving have started vinyl wrapping their automotive basket cases. The trend seems to be to go from the door windows down, which gives them a beach cooler vibe that is similarly underwhelming.

They’re already having issues! The head lights are sunken in for some reason. This means there is a shelf to hold snow in front of the lights and block them.

Now, every car has to have the snow cleared off the headlights before you drive, but this is way worse. That shelf collects snow as you drive. People have to pull over and clear the snow off mid-drive because they lose their headlights.

WHY ARE THEY BUILT THAT WAY

How is it that we're STILL finding whole new ways for this thing to suck?!

I need y'all to understand. I endure not just the bone-melting 100+ summer temperatures for weeks at a time each summer, but also the God Awful INDIGNITY of having TED CRUZ as my senator, SPECIFICALLY because I cannot stand the GOD DAMN COLD. I SUFFER so much being a Texan because I look at Colorado and think "well, their politics are better and it's beautiful in summer, but the Winter? Oh no thanks." This is an agreement I have with the universe. I agree to all the bullshit of the Lone Star Hellscape in exchange for NOT having to do THIS.

This is a betrayal. This is a TRAVESTY OF NATURE and I'm FURIOUS over it.

So things are...not good here, friends. Rolling power outages since 2 am, reports of cop cars and first responders stuck in the snow, the city has given up on trying to clear any roads because we just don't have the equipment or resources (they tried to de-ice toll 130, but it REFROZE so quickly they just closed the road instead.) And more snow is coming.

If you are in an affected area- don't go anywhere for anything. Bundle up. Stay safe. Stay warm.

Is.....is tHAT TEXAS?!?

now available in ‘there’s no lines in the parking lot’

bonus round: My car can’t make it up the road to my house because the plows don’t leave the city limits.

In my little rural neighborhood in Virginia the infrequent snowstorms meant that every dude with a tractor and bulldozer or snowplow or so much as a riding lawnmower with a snowplow would get out and clear the roads and driveways, because the county for sure wasn’t going to do it in a timely fashion and people still needed to work and go to school etc etc. Those of us who did not have snow clearing equipment made coffee and hot chocolate and cookies and when we heard one of them approaching we’d run out with warm drinks and snacks.
