Just watched a video by 'EV Dave', demonstrating how useless his Model Y is in 6 inches of snow:

I found it really uncomfortable to watch when he:
- Scraped the snow off his car with a ruler
- Tried to activate the wipers when frozen
- Banged the top of the window to release the glass.
- Kicked the door sills to remove the snow from his shoes
- Tried to move the snow at the front and rear by ploughing into it.
- Recovered the UMC from within a large pile of snow
- Tried to manually close the charge port door whilst there was still snow inside it.
