But the latest TikTok video to go viral aboutElon Musks babymight be the most ridiculous yet.
The Cybertruck appears to have a design that makes snow build up right in front of the headlights.
So I just found a major flaw in the Cybertrucks design.

Let me show you, Fay said in the short video thats racked up3 million views.
The headlights are actually hidden down below and can you guess what the issue might be in the wintertime?
Yeah, we can guess the issue.
Because its obvious to anyone whos lived in a snowy environment before.
The snow will build up along that shelf, blocking the very thin band of light.
And thats going to become an issue when you venture to drive and snow continues to build.
These headlights are amazing.
However, I found that the snow is building up right in front of the headlights.
They really couldnt have been so dumb as to not realize this might be a problem, right?
So Ill let you guys know how driving is in this blizzard.
So I guess Ill have to drive a little bit more and let you know how it is.
Fay seems perplexed about why his incredibly expensive car would have such an obvious design flaw.
True to his word, Fay did drive a little more and posted afollow-up video.
And while Fay seems to downplay the issue in his new video, it all sounds like a rationalization.
That is definitely a problem, Fay acknowledges.
So honestly, I dont think that this is an issue.
Because for me, I havent noticed it at all until I saw people complaining about it.
I havent noticed it, Fay insists.
But then by the end of Fays follow-up video, he acknowledges an entirely new problem.
The side cameras are completely blocked when it snows.
The Cybertruck Owners Club forum appears to have similar stories.
This evening there was some snowfall, nothing heavy / but the lights totally are inadequate.
The user reports they have several other vehicles that dont experience any problems in the snow.
It seems to just be a Cybertruck issue.
This cant be removed without a hammer (my scrapper couldnt).
Super bummed out about it as I was counting on it being a beast in the snow.
Tesla didnt respond to questions emailed on Monday, but thats really no surprise.
Elon Musk abolished the companys media relations team years ago under the theory that its not really needed.
But well definitely update this post if we hear back.
Were just not going to hold our breath.
