The tesla would have to be going a lot slower and you'd need to get really close before slamming the brakes. Better off accelerating real hard with a Tesla behind you instead, or maybe just not endangering people. Unless it's a cybertruck in particular.

nah I think a lot of planning went into this

So the banana peel instead of a green shell... Got it.

Slamming on the brakes under these road conditions might lead to interesting effects, even without the snow load.

It’s funny how that reply, 5 years ago, would have probably been from someone on the right who also loved rolling coal. Now, that same reply can be from someone on the left.

As someone who lives in the midwest, I can confirm that people sometimes leave it on purpose for the extra weight, especially in vehicles like pickups and vans. Also you kinda just want to see what happens at that point.

Also you kinda just want to see what happens at that point.

The people behind you are also interested in seeing ~~what happens~~.

Quick Googling puts snow at 1-20 pounds per cubic foot, depending on moisture content. Using conservative numbers of one foot of snow, 7 feet wide, and 15 feet long that could be 105-2100 pounds. On the low end, I can't see that being enough weight to matter, and on the high end, that might seriously strain some vehicles suspensions.

Also as someone in the Midwest that got hit by snow flying off the top of an uncleaned car this morning from several hundred feet away, I don't care how much weight it is. Clean off your car.

If you're going fast enough for it to fly off, yeah leaving it on is a dick move.

The warming of the vehicle's interior is enough to make the snow easily slide off. Braking too, it'll cover the windshield when your pulling upto a stop sign or whatever.

Zero reason to not clean it off, and it's usually illegal to not do it too. Depending on where you are obviously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Is that supposed to be 210 pounds?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

No. Snow can vary in weight a lot.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Snow hit you from a braking vehicle from several hundred feet away?

Were they traveling at supersonic speeds?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

They weren't braking; they were driving highway speeds in front of me.

as someone living in the north west clean off the roof of your car so it doesn't get on your windshield.
