That’s illegal where I live.

I hope that it's illegal everywhere

Nothing like potentially killing someone because you’re a lazy fuck.

One time I left a (much smaller) snow helmet on my car. After a very mild stop at a stoplight, I instantly had a blocked windshield too heavy for the wipers to fix in-situ.

I was able to turn into a small parking lot without risk of hitting anyone/anything and clear it off.

Overall: 2/10, would not recommend.

It can be annoying and difficult, but it’s worth going the extra mile even if it seems like a small amount of snow.

Few times I've gotten to witness when someone brakes onto traffic lights and the uncleared snow from the roof slides onto their windshield and is too much for the wipers to handle.

I drive a truck myself and since the roof is a bit difficult to reach I got a brush with a telescopic handle and a rotating head that I can flip 90 degrees and use to push the snow down from the roof. Works great.

Not surprised that the picture was taken at a pump, that's going to be killer on the gas mileage

“Fire it at the Tesla in front of me…” The animosity toward Tesla owners (or Prius or any other EV/Hybrid owner) is stupid. Why hate them?

Because the CEO of Tesla is a massive bastard? That’s not their fault. They may not have even known what a fuckhead he was when they bought it, nor should his behavior influence their car ownership. Plenty of good people work for Tesla too.

Or because they don’t support the gas/oil industry? That’s moronic. As much of a shit goblin Musk is, he holds no candle to the collective evil of the fossil fuel lobby.

Don’t hate someone for their taste in consumer goods. They’re just trying to get through life, same as you.

Now, if you wanna launch that snow drift at a “coal rolling” diesel pickup truck who is intentionally destroying the environment, that’s a different thing altogether.

Yes, because the CEO of Tesla is a massive bastard, in addition to the fact that Teslas have spear-headed spyware for cars. There is no doubt in my mind the cameras on those cars will end up like Ring Doorbells, giving law enforcement unfettered access to footage without a warrant, not to mention the fact they can (and will!) be selling your location data, and anything else they can scrape from you to the highest bidder. Are you a tesla driver who wants to have an abortion? Too fucking bad you're now on a MAGAt harassment list because they bought that information directly from Tesla. Good lord why are we defending CORPOS on a federated platform. FUCK. CORPOS.

Teslas are some of the most clueless drivers on the road, especially model Ys and model 3s. They've surpassed BMW/Mercedes as the not paying attention stereotype.
