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.

It's getting cold in the North, winter is coming and all that.. This'll be my first winter with the Model 3 and also the first time with frameless doors.

Naively, I'm hoping to just precondition the car for 30 minutes and walk out to find all the snow gone, job done, but I suspect it won't be that easy.

What are your top tips for clearing snow from the car and preparing for a drive?
