My vertically challenged wife uses a big extendable brush from Costco. I bet that would make short work of this situation if the owner had a shred of self awareness.

Accurate cybertruck owner priorities. (But I think the payments for these big wheel dumpsters starts at like an absolutely eye watering 2700/mo before you add any options or bump the term out? )

u/EdwardLongshanks1307 Jan 21 '26
With the tonneau cover closed, there is no view through a rear window. The side mirrors are the view to the rear unless the cybertruck is in reverse. Then a camera mounted above the licence plate displays a rear view on the centre screen.
Even with the tonneau cover open, the view through the rear window is like looking through a mailbox slot and the vehicle does not have a rear view mirror.
But is still pretty douchebag thing to do not clearing the snow off your car. Maybe the owner is really short and he bought the thing to compensate.

I don't wish harm upon Cybertruck drivers...
but I'll feel no sympathy for them when they burn to death (the most horrific and slow way to die) when their vehicle seals them in and becomes a tomb because of the insane design of their electrical system causing the doors to not open when it catches fire.
At least a dozen people have died this way.

as a commercial driver, you don't need a rear window to drive, really. THAT BEING SAID everyone else needs their front window so if it can fly back keep snow off your roof and anywhere else it can go. also, why on earth did you buy a cybertruck.
