The freezing rain created a crazy texture on the body of this Cybertruck!
Had to snap a couple photos of this cool texture!

Had to snap a couple photos of this cool texture!
It’s officially a Freezer
Lmao. I didn’t even think about that. Well done.
Is this a different texture than every other car? ….Asking for our southern friends.
No. Happens all the time to vehicles in freezing rain.
The flatness of the sides might be what made it, but they'd have to show other cars in the same uncovered lot to compare. My Model 3 looked like it had scales after a couple hours in yesterday's weather, so it can vary a lot.
Turn on the heat and record time lapse
Fun idea!
Do the doors still open?
I didn’t want to try my luck lol. Plus it was annoyingly cold and the less I was out there the better 😂
Tesla claimed the door opener could push though 1/2" of ice. Would be great to test that!
I've leaned my entire body weight against my CT's door, leaning at past 40 degrees, and pressed the open button. I'm a 6'4 205lbs dude. It moves me and opens the door at the same speed and with the same motor sound as when I'm not leaning on it.
That tiny piston is crazy powerful.
Sweet! Good to hear actual experience with this!
Prob voids the warranty
The internet would have loved you for recording if the door pusher would push through that ice.
No? Like any other car with that much ice on it. You’re not getting in. At least with teslas you can heat them up and melt the ice. If that was either of my Audis I’d be screwed
Well, that's a huge generalisation.
My F-350 has been iced over like that a few times. Just whack the handle a few times, give the door a light shoulder check to make a crack, then pull with steady pressure.
It should. There is a motor that pushes the door open about an inch.
op discovers ice exist.
Comment I was looking for. This is exactly what it looks like on every car lol
I’m in Florida and have yet to discover ice
According to the OP, the frequency of "lol" usage makes it clear that they still have plenty of things to discover.
Not even the ice makes it cool
You got ICEd
Edit: OP responded below with some explanations. I'm still skeptical, but hey...cool images none the less.

Respectfully...are you claiming this the result of freezing rain? I ask because there are a lot of signs indicating this was staged.
Water pooling under the truck, but nowhere else
Cybertruck is covered in ice, other vehicles are not
the truck wheels are covered in ice, so the vehicle did not move
awfully convenient that the truck was right there in front a massive USA flag
surrounding snow does not look like it's been hit with freezing rain
An instant bright sunny day?
Photo 4 is the dead giveaway. Footprint in snow shows zero sign of water / freezing slush / rain.
If you staged this to make a cool photo, then just say so. They are neat images...but be honest. This was not freezing rain. Looks much more like water poured / sprayed onto the body in cold conditions.
Buddy, relax…
even the red truck in the background has the same ice rain forming on it
Hey, I don’t mean to seem annoying but I just wanted to let you know that I just posted some more photos of the other cars on the lot. I had a couple other people ask about the precarious weather so I made a post that hopefully clears up the sheer scale of how many cars were affected. I don’t blame you for being skeptical. It was some weird weather for these parts👍🏼👍🏼
Edit: Spelling
I'm not buying it. You're just the master of all the crazy crap that guy above pointed out 😂
All good, OP. Have a great day!
You too! 🫱🏼🫲🏻🤙🏼
Tell me you have no idea what winter is like without telling me you have no idea what winter is like
Hey, take a look at my page. I just posted a Red GT500 that was also covered in ice. This was a unique weather system that passed through the area. 🤙🏼
Thought I’d add: The vehicles in the back are under the overhang which is why they are mostly dry except for the red HD
Seeing people get aggressively incorrect like that is wild.
Jesus christ, weird thing to hyper-analyze. Who cares?
It’s all marketing bud. And terrible boring lame manipulative marketing at that.
TIL ice on a vehicle is "crazy texture"
Almost looks CG.
True! The ice made everything look so off lol.
T
Very cool shots. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
That’s ice
Very cool. How was getting in after? Did that ice pop right off or did you have to warm it up before you could get in?
To be completely honest…I didn’t even try it.
Looks cool tbh
Wild - it can get uglier!
Gaayyyyyyy
So sick.
And i bet it started easier than an f150 would have
I bet it was harder to enter the vehicle than an F150.
There's no door handles to freeze and you can preheat it from your phone so I doubt it
There's no door handles to
pull the door open.
Do you even live in an I see climate or are you just going to blindly defend the Cybertruck no matter what?
You'd have to warm your truck for hours to warm up the door panels.
I live in new England and the ice starts to melt in 5-10 minutes, ice will never hold the door shut unless you shot your car with a hose the night before
You can open the doors from the phone app. Each door has a powerful electric piston motor that can easily break ice. I've personally tested leaning my entire 205lbs body weight against the door and trying to shove it shut while opening it.
But if your app isn't connecting, you only have to chip a tiny amount of ice to depress any of the door buttons a tiny amount and boom, the door will pop open and you're in.
That’s so sick, someone should make that a wrap
Ick
I’ve never seen an angle of the CT that actually looks good…
Spoiler alert: there isn't one
Throw some fireworks in the back, that’ll get rid of the ice quickly.
Looks cool! Send it to Elon he will love it!
r/cringe
Need more CT content here. Great pictures!
Looks like a frozen turd now.
There goes your warranty…
You can just hit it with a hammer to get it off
so cool, the warranty is officially voided by the way
🥶
Annnndddd.... warranty voided somehow.
Congrats CT, you got promoted from fridge to freezer.
Definitely less chance of it exploding with this skin.
