A Cybertruck owner has spotted a 'major flaw' in the futuristic vehicle that could cause big issues this winter.
Elon Musk first debuted the Cybertruck in 2019, with many at the time amazed at how futuristic it looked.
And while many still remain starstruck at the Tesla vehicle to this day, you see much more of them in the wild nowadays, so the shock factor is nowhere near as high.
The Cybertruck has prided itself on being a bullet-proof machine, but many have pointed out design flaws with the car over the years.

And in a recent video uploaded by TikTok user Joe Fay (@jf.okay), a new 'major flaw' with Cybertruck has been detailed that could provide huge problems for owners this winter.
"So, I found a major flaw in the Cybertruck's design," Joe began the video.
The Tesla enthusiast explained how the headlights to the vehicle sit at the bottom, which could provide some issues.
He explained: "These headlights are amazing and they're extremely bright. However, that snow is building up right in front of the headlights.
"That can be a major problem when you're driving in the winter time, because if snow builds up right here, the headlights are going to be completely blocked."
Joe continued: "Now, I can't believe Tesla just didn't think about this when they put this giant shelf in front of the lights, but if they did, it's honestly an awful design.
"I'll let you know how driving is in the blizzard. It's done pretty well so far, and I haven't noticed that the headlights are getting all clogged up like that."
After the initial video got over one million views, Joe uploaded a follow-up video where he admitted to not having any problems after driving the Tesla vehicle around for a few miles.
Many have flocked to the comments section of the TikTok video after hearing about the potential Cybertruck winter flaw.
"My guess is that the Cybertruck was designed for driving in California and similar, non-winter states," one person penned.
A second added: "A Cybertruck isn't an actual truck. It's meant to be in Florida or California, it shouldn't be anywhere near snow."
A third remarked: "Well I’m not a rocket scientist but I’m pretty sure if it snows. You gotta clean off your cars headlights anyway. Tesla or anything other vehicle."
"They aren't intended to be driven in extreme cold/snow," a fourth quipped.
