I think I'd pull out my electric leaf blower.

I think I'd pull out my electric leaf blower.
I gave AI two tries to come up with a stainless steel leaf blower image. They both sucked. If you didn’t care about electric usage I bet the defrost could melt that much snow in less than 20 minutes.
 
With the wet snow we've been getting here, a blower wouldn't work.
I like the roof (PV panel) rake for this car 🤣
 
As long as the snow is not iced on it should work. I just blew clear a bunch of very wet leaves from our garage steps and pathways. They were combined with fir and redwood needles into a thick matt. The leaf blower made quick work of them. I was surprised at how well it worked. I didn't even have it set to high speed.

Yeah, soggy leaves I've done too (mixed with pitch pine needles sometimes depending on the wind direction). Wet snow doesn't catch wind as leaves do.

Ah well, I don't have a cyber truck so all is good 😊
 
That windshield!! It needs a roof snow rake! No way I could clean that with my scraper brush.
That’s a foam head SnoBrum. Extends to 56 inches. Everything else I have has roof racks and a flat roof difficult to clean. With no horizontal roof or bed, everything slides off.

Ice is no longer a problem. A push of the defrost button on my phone warms interior, defrosts windshield and mirrors and preconditions battery. Doors open with ice breaker. If touch sensors are frozen over, phone does that too.

Try it, it works.

You're missing the point.
That is powdery snow, not a clumping wet soggy mass.

Wet snow, but not dripping wet.

Fine. The wet snow I tried it in, 2 times (as indeed IF it works, it helps a lot especially given the roof rack things on our RAV4), laughed at me. As did the neighbors.

I.e. it's not theory, it's experiment here in which I base my remarks
 
Yes, wet snow is a heavy pita. It works great otherwise.

I hope to experience that too 😁
 
Yeah with powder a blower and even a broom works fine if not very deep.
Unfortunately Here in NJ and LI we just don't get powder snow.
