lol,, no. This is not accurate. First, the original question is simply if the vehicle is heavy enough to melt ice from pressure. Nothing about rubbing or friction or anything. So my reply only covers pressure. Pressure does not melt ice. Also " Ice skating works because metal skate blades glide with very little friction over a thin layer of water on the ice surface. At one time, scientists thought skaters created the water layer by melting the surface layers of ice through the pressure of their body weight. However, recent studies disproved that explanation and it is now believed ice is always slippery because the molecules in its top-most layer behave like liquid water." This explanation would cover cars as well.
