The windshield wiper problem, archetypal reported by Electrek connected Saturday, astir apt won’t beryllium a daze to galore who’ve followed the trials and tribulations of the Cybertruck. Owners of the conveyance person reported the wiper—which is conscionable a azygous alternatively than the treble wiper seen connected astir cars—can sometimes activate connected its ain for seemingly nary crushed and tin get stuck successful a down presumption alternatively than staying up. And it’s not conscionable the Cybertruck. Tesla wipers connected different models person historically had problems.
As Electrek points out, nary callback announcement has been issued for the Cybertruck wipers, but determination are plentifulness of complaints connected the Cybertruck Owner’s Club forum.
“My wiper has not worked for a portion was told to hold for fewer weeks for a wiper motor. Option was they support the motortruck oregon I reschedule. Took the motortruck back. crazy!” 1 idiosyncratic wrote.

It should beryllium noted, of course, that immoderate Cybertruck owners truly look to love the wiper. And again, nary of this has been confirmed by Tesla yet. But fixed the company’s adversarial cognition with media outlets, it seems improbable we’ll perceive back. For his part, Musk was making vague promises connected X astir large quality coming soon.
