This is definitely a different experience to mine. I've found the truck to be the worst for snow build-up of all the vehicles I've owned/driven over the years. It stole the prize from a late-70s LeMans with those four flat rectangular lamps. At least those halogens ran hot.For those of you who don't drive in snow all winter, I can tell you the Cybertruck's headlights getting blocked by snow is not a real problem, at least not relative to any other car or truck I've ever owned.
It snows. A lot sometimes. When driving in very heavy snow at night I've seen headlights plastered thick in 30 minutes. When snow first starts sticking to the headlights it dims the lighting, while simultaneously removing the hot spots. This dimmer, smoother light is welcome when everything around is white. It actually creates better visibility and is much more relaxing for your eyes. Depending upon how hard it's snowing, and how far you are driving in heavy snowfall, it can eventually become too dim. This is on all cars I've ever owned, not just the Cybertruck. I'm sure the same thing would happen on the Baja Designs LEDs you linked to. That's just a fact of extended night driving in heavy snow, it's no big deal if you need to clear it. You pull over and wipe them clear if the light becomes sub-optimal. Sometimes it's too cold or too warm for the snow to stick at all.
For 9 years I worked at a ski area that had the world record for snowfall in a season. For half of those years I drove personal vehicles, the other half the company trucks. Every trip, with rare exceptions, was in the pitch black of night. Sometimes it would snow so hard even the old hot sealed beam headlights would get plastered helplessly with snow.
