Agreed however it is what everyone that has a vehicle and lives in a cold climate has done at one time or another.

Sorry, but this a perfect example of everything not to do to your Tesla, or any other car, under these conditions. I am relieved that you didn't break the wiper motor or window actuators though. And yes, performance summer tires are utterly useless in snow like that.

a lot is wrong here. even the simplest things. for this kind of weather, there must be a broom in the car. sit on the edge of the car seat. they shake the snow off their boots by lightly tapping each other, sitting sideways in the driver's seat, put their feet on the threshold of the door, sweep away the remaining snow with a broom. then fully turn around and place your feet on the mat in the car.

I've stalled out the wiper motor on my 30 year old rig properly 100's of times when pushing through snow covered branches, yet it has never broken. I'm not saying it could never happen, but not surprisingly after a hundred or so years of designing powered windshield wipers, they are reasonably robust -- especially when it comes to a situation like this that would probably bring in thousands of cars a year for warranty work if the design couldn't handle it.

I don't think he was expecting miracles at all. He was just testing it to see what it would do. As for your other items: - I've never hesitated to roll the windows down on my 30 year old rig to clear ice from them and, I just checked, the weather stripping is not shredded. - The windshield wipers are designed to clear the front window. One might as well see if they will do the job before doing it manually. - I never had a wiper blade shred on windshield ice. I often drive in conditions where snow is freezing into ice on the windshield. Even with regular stops to scrape the window, the wipers inevitably drag across a lot of ice between cleanings. Yet, they hold up just fine. He knows he doesn't have snow tires, and it doesn't appear he had any intention of driving on public roads. Why do you object to him having a little fun on his own property?

Precisely. When the wheels get stuck a simple and slight shovel in front of the front or better each tire will relieve the forward snow dam. Clearing the ice above the windshield wipers … possibly a solid decision. Scraping the windows on the bottom & top edge before trying to make the motors over work. I mean really any practical effort would be helpful. I’m a bit spoiled though I lived in steamboat for over a decade and we saw deep days. 12-20” a session, and -40 every winter from approximately Jan 5 to feb 1 for only two weeks max in that time. Totally harsh but I guided snowmobile tours and I tell you trying to start sleds at that temp was fun, but like with everything there is a way. Pull the cord slow many times before really trying the start. And with vehicles you need to slow down and look at what’s functioning. Stop sitting there and watching things fail. It’s more like see what may ‘ will be making it not work and clearing the issue before it’s a problem. Agh that’s just me. F*ck I love snow. Deep / thick / fluffy ass POW POW!

Open the door, get the brush, use the arm to brush off as much as possible in a few sweeps, then use the brush to take the rest. But normally, i use a couple of minutes to brush it really good to prevent more snow from freezing on the car. Our winters are... a bit struggling sometimes since it can be above 0 degree C and rain, and then temperature goes down and the rain becomes freezing rain that makes an armor on the car, and then it goes over to snow and then it can be -10 degree. First a fluffy snow layer, followed by a harsh icy snow layer followed by an icy layer. Or, a lot of snow and below 0 and then it goes above 0 and snow starts to melt and then it goes down again and you have a hard snow layer followed by a snowicyslushy armor of like one cm or more covering the entire car. Those days are... wonderful.... But, since i have a car built in Sweden and designed for Sweden, i just... open the door and get in to get my brush and ice scraper (man do that thick layer stick to the windows, even if i have preheated the car for a while especially if it is like -10 degree or colder!) Have you experienced snow? And more than just some white tiny layer on the ground.

Hey dave! Appreciate the video, always nice to see beautiful snowy conditions... can't wait for the snow here in Sweden. I notice as many others did many "beginner mistakes"! Tip 1: preheat the car for about 60mins, don't use maximum heat since windshield might crack with that much snow on top and if you have a stone chip or small crack allready. Tip 2, try to charge all night so battery keeps warm, yours was cold since charging was already complete Tip 3: don't use windshield wipers or windows before clearing snow and ice... can break. For the Windows you can use an old credit card to slide between the rubber and window to clear any ice-buildup. Wipers you can brush of the snow and manually slap(with caution) against the windshield to clear some ice. Tip 4: it's your car but please just slap the boots together to release snow rather then kicking your beautiful car... Tip5: don't use performance tires in the cold, they suck on snow and ice and they get badly damaged from the cold since that type of rubber is not made for those temps. Tip 6: when driving in snow, use momentum. If you get stuck, don't mash the pedal and rely on TC... go little back, then forward again to get some momentum. Would probably been able to drive there if you did that trick. Tip 7: don't put the extendercord and charge cable buried in snow, hang the cord end/connection on something so it's not buried in water(water+electricity is bad!). The charge cable box should probably also be above snow and you can use a plastic bag to cover it. Again, thanks for the snow video and please consider my tips :)

I did this with Michelin X Ice tires and had the same results.

Removing traction even from my Xice tires. I bet if you put a board in the tow hitch to plow the snow down to 5” it wouldn’t get highcentered going backwards.

Was there a miracle expected? Since you trying to move a heavy car that’s on summer sports tires??

Well, looking on the positive side, it suggests that if you give it around an hour on AC, brush all the snow off, clear the drivers window where it meets the seal, free the wipers, (same with the charge port), and do some blood warming shovel work, the car would be out. The beauty of electric. There's nothing like trying things out, and it's testimony to the car's robustness. Interesting video.

-12 C on performance summer tires :-)

Gave a like just for the metric

If it’s plugged in, why not use the app and warm it up first?

👍 cosy videos. Please keep inserting the Celsius/European equivalents on screen.

Who scratches their car with a ruler! Get this guy an ice scraper. How rediculous to try wipers without removing snow.

Easy to do by accident too.

Nice summer tires (that are not made for 12F) on that model Y.

I bet winter/all-season tires would have been much better. It's a pain to switch though.

It would! Here in Norway its forbidden to drive in those conditions with out snow tires! And there is a reason for that.. btw we by an extra sett of rims with snow tires on them so its as simple as switching them when the winter comes.

3:30 and 8:14 Removing the snow from your shoes by kicking your vehicle risks damage to your vehicle. Instead, tap your shoes against each other to remove the snow.

Not only that you damage the car.. you get a lot of snow inside the car also doing it the way he does... I guess that person has not lived in a snowy climate very long..

Personally I prefer to use my ice scraper brush to brush off my pant legs and bang the shoes! Before getting in! But i also scrape the windshield and break the wipers loose! This video hurts my feels! Luv from canuck land

Actually, we have a 2018 model S with all season tires and we can drive through 7 no problem. We also live in Wyoming so we have tons of snow.

I would really advice using the pre heat before wiping the car off. And summer tires is a no go.

What if you can not preheat?

Good stuff! Thanks Dave!!!

Where do you live exactly? Inside a freezer?

How about a garage with TWC?

Wow. Just......Wow.

Why did you not just preheat prior to you doing all that?

Y'all are way too harsh, loved the video

He's just scratching that car all to hell,using a ruler to get the snow off,using hay brush broom to get snow off the windshield. I'm sure that's all scratched to hell. Banging his feet on the bottom of the car. Come on man respect and appreciate your tesla just a little bit
