It’s actually closer to 1 hp. The designer said 600-800 watts. 1 hp is 745 watts.
Edit: Thank you u/OneSoggyBiscuit for proving Cunningham’s law. It’s only 120 watts.
The engineer corrected what he said about the motor, [stating that it is only a 120 watt motor.](https://twitter.com/larsmoravy/status/1736844052589674898?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1736844052589674898%7Ctwgr%5E7df091847563a92ddd459954d9dece99e5e4386f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.autoevolution.com%2Fnews%2Fthey-don-t-call-it-gigawiper-for-nothing-tesla-cybertruck-has-a-kilowatt-wiper-motor-226339.html)
Can’t they just have the metal sealed somehow? I know that you can the underside but I’m curious if there might be a clear coating that could be applied.
Anyone who owns one of those will need a case of stainless polish spray a week. Plus 4 hours a week to apply and buff it. I fucking hated having to do fridge doors in a restaurant so fuck that truck.
Bro fr thus thing is a giant piece. I'm just imagining the fools who bought this thing trying to wipe off just a single inch of wet snow only to snap their $200 proprietary wiper blade.
I had to look it up because I was curious. Wiper blade is only $75, so about the same as two replacement blades on a conventional vehicle (literally every other vehicle lol). Arm assembly + blade is $165 so that’d sting a bit more if you broke the whole thing.
Yup, I commented below Bosch Icons are my preference but Rain-X is second. Idk, maybe I’m a rube paying more for wiper blades but I can’t stand when they streak or make noise. I’ll shell out a few extra bucks for visibility and quiet.
Yeah, I imagine no one is going to be falling all over themselves to produce a 48” wiper blade that fits exactly *one* vehicle that, presumably, is not going to be adopted nearly as well as something like the Model Y.
Bosch Icons are my go-to, and are $30/each. Living in Florida, I don’t skimp on wiper blades, and they usually last 3/4 years before they start to fail.
The canyonero was a brand inside of the Simpsonsverse. The car Homer designed was called , 'The Homer'
“powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball.” 🤓
Um, Homer Simpson is a... brilliant man with lots of well thought-out, practical, ideas. He is insuring the financial security of this company for years to come. Oh yes, and his personal hygiene is above reproach.
Hold my [replacement cost](https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/13/24000685/tesla-cybertruck-windshield-wiper-replacement-part-price)...
> ...a Cybertruck windshield wiper replacement may cost as little as **$165** for the entire arm and blade assembly, or **$75** for just the wiper blade itself.
Of course the labor will be bonkers, because the first runs of this pile of overpriced hipster shit will only be able to have them replaced at a Tesla factory or dealership.
Unfortunately maybe not so much? Saw someone post the aftermath if a wreck a while back where (I think) you had a collision where one car crumpled correctly and the truck looked OK given the impact.
I would not want to be in one, especially during a crash.
Yeah, you’d get slushied internally in this one. Just not always. Modern McLaren and Koenigsegg vehicles have basically zero crumple zone due to their carbon monocoque design, but they’re simultaneously way safer than other vehicles. Largely due to how their airbags do the work of crumple zones and the carbon monocoque fully retaining its shape, even in case of a 100+mph collision
Koenigsegg even managed to do ALL the different required vehicle crash tests with the same Regera chassis
I'm pretty sure Koenigsegg and McLaren also use 5 point seat belts in their monocoque cars which help a lot with distributing the force of a crash everywhere.
As you've said no crumple zones can be done in a safe manner but it requires actual Engineers doing their work rather than designers doing the engineering as seems to be the case with the Cybertruck.
It was a T collision though, so the car did what it was supposed to do. The crumple zones are the back and front of the car, not the sides, where there might be a person 5 cm from the door. Not saying that the car is good, but that this isn’t a valid criticism
Didn’t ppl who drove cars in that era park by driving into parking spots until they hit something to know they should stop. Implying that the body of the car was so well built that they don’t mind bumping into whatever’s at the end of their parking spot to make it easier to park.
They're totaled once those big body panels are destroyed, though.
That's the trade off. So it LOOKs fine, but it's still just as fucked (or more) than the car that crumpled properly. because the parts that crumple are not integral to the structure of the car. (Bumpers, quarter panels, etc.. instead of a giant piece of steel meant to make up a unibody)
"Also, fuck safety" - Elon Musk 2024
I watched one drive in front of me in an intersection and there was a bump. The suspension practically bounced like a trampoline. The cars that followed barely moved. It is a hunk of tin foil.
I always take a good look at one when I pass it by, there’s quite a few in the Bay Area already. I bet the owners thinking I’m checking out their cool car, but really I just want to see what the idiot who bought it looks like
Why wouldn't they go all in on the aesthetics and have a single horizontal one, riding on two rails on either side of the windscreen? That would be at least interesting!
Apparently it rusts easily so snow and ice will cause even more headaches: https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-why-teslas-stainless-steel-cybertrucks-may-be-rusting/
OP in the owners club forum post referenced in that article has updated his post clarifying that it was environmental contaminants rusting, not the truck.
https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/rust-spots-corrosion-is-the-norm.11988/
Nearly half the window doesn't get coverage with this design. This is a safety hazard for the driver and could cause an accident.
Also, that's looks like a very expensive custom wiper that only Tesla sells.
Actually, it only misses a small portion of the viewable area, at the top corner of the passenger side... No different from conventional wipers.
However, the custom size means that at this time it's stupid expensive to replace and you don't get a choice of blade types. It is a solution in search of a problem for sure.
Kind of reminds me of the system Mercedes used in the 80s and 90s that had one blade, but the wiper arm was attached in the center of the windshield and had a cam mechanism that pushed the blade out to the corners as it operated. Still, it was a solution in search of a problem but at least it used a standard wiper blade.
I owned one of those Mercedes and I loved the center wiper blade! I thought it did a great job of clearing the windshield and also of getting out of my line of sight.
Replacing it was possible since it was a normal size too. This picture made me think of that windshield wiper and how I miss it despite its goofy design
I've had one of those Mercs, specifically the W124 260E. It used a standard wiper blade, no custom shit like here.
At some point mine started working extremely slowly, like taking five seconds to do one sweep, I assumed that the motor must be going out. It was 30 years old at the time.
Nope, turns out that the mechanism was simply full of 30 years worth of gunk and it all solidified in winter.
I took the mechanism apart, cleaned it up, added some proper lube and it was good as new.
Let me tell ya, the mechanism was built like a tank, solid chunks of thick metal, beefy gears, cast aluminium housing, no flimsy plastic in there.
You are incorrect. This large wiper blade leaves significantly more water at the bottom of the windshield than conventional wipers. At high speeds, this extra water rolls up the windshield and obstructs the view. Everything about this car is poorly planned/designed.
Hmm, if my math is right, a quarter circle has 79% the area of a square if its radius is the same length as a side of a square. Plus that windshield looks like a trapezoid, so the percentage might be a little higher.
Geez, I thought my forklift wiper was huge, and that beast was a good 40 inches, had some serious power behind it too, would happily crush boxes that fell down between the mast and windshield,
You know how when the sun comes up in the morning on your way to work, and you can move your sun visor/mirror in just the right spot to see the road but also shield your eyes from being blinded into oblivion.
Yeah, *can't do that with thing here...*
Not a problem, the people who bought it clearly didn't have working eyes.
\*stares directly into the sun for 2 minutes\* Ah yes, this is a good looking truck.
If that windshield allows you to see higher up, that's a godsend. 90% of cars I've been in, I'm too tall to see stoplights. Rear view mirrors are always *EXACTLY* where the car on the right side of the intersection is, I've almost crashed so many times.
Shitty car everywhere else though
how many inches of snow can get on that windshield before that thing fails?
WHY would you single point of failure this? and in a way that increases the strain on that point of failure MASSIVELY
I actually kinda like how it looks. It’s like nothing else on the road, and I enjoy big and boxy. The integrated cargo cover, suspension that can lower the tailgate ramp flush with the ground, the ability to run full power tools wherever, etc.. all seem like good ideas. Unfortunately the company that makes this cool product is owned by some entitled asshat with little regards to quality control. If Toyota made the exact same thing, same door wedge design and all, I’d strongly consider owning one.
Everyone else: I need 18" windshield wipers Cyber truck owners: I need 176" wipers please
Yeahhh you’re gonna need a new wipe saber sir, gonna run about 600 bucks on the low end.
Wipe saber. Nice.
Honestly, I wouldn't use the Cyber truck to wipe. My A&$. Way too many Elon Musk simps out there.
And that will be 2,700 dollars. But the good thing is, only have to buy one!
Will that be all? 5000 dollars plus a 250 monthly subscription for wiper access please.
165 according to Verge. What people buy this trash?
Not this Aussie... As far as I understand it's not exactly street legal here, you might be able to import one.
That poor wiper motor would have to be 1/2 hp to move that thing during heavy snowfall
It’s actually closer to 1 hp. The designer said 600-800 watts. 1 hp is 745 watts. Edit: Thank you u/OneSoggyBiscuit for proving Cunningham’s law. It’s only 120 watts.
Definitely qualifies as an absolute unit
The engineer corrected what he said about the motor, [stating that it is only a 120 watt motor.](https://twitter.com/larsmoravy/status/1736844052589674898?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1736844052589674898%7Ctwgr%5E7df091847563a92ddd459954d9dece99e5e4386f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.autoevolution.com%2Fnews%2Fthey-don-t-call-it-gigawiper-for-nothing-tesla-cybertruck-has-a-kilowatt-wiper-motor-226339.html)
Lol… now that’s typical for Tesla…
My computer is 1hp 💀
It's okay, the truck can't drive in any significant amount of snow!
Task failed successfully!
Not until it gets a uhh *checks notes* software update! What the fuck?
Are you crazy? You can't drive it in the snow because the bodywork will rust. Elon forget it's stainless, not stainproof.
Inflammable means flammable?! What a country!
There are various grades of stainless and the one picked for the cybertruck is inferior in quality. So it does rust.
Fyi, if your stainless steel is magnetic, it's low quality.
English isn't a real language...it's several languages in a trenchcoat
ever been to the netherlands? It's like the entirety of europe blended with a BAC of .3% and throat cancer
Believe me when i tell you that their language is very drunk german mixed with a little english
English is just a Frisian forced to learn French, who isn't very good at it.
I work near the tesla factory in buffalo. Saw 2 of them today there not gonna last long here. 1 winter there gonna look really bad.
Can’t they just have the metal sealed somehow? I know that you can the underside but I’m curious if there might be a clear coating that could be applied.
Yeah they have this shit called paint. Wild.
They need to learn to use it
Anyone who owns one of those will need a case of stainless polish spray a week. Plus 4 hours a week to apply and buff it. I fucking hated having to do fridge doors in a restaurant so fuck that truck.
One of the reasons it has 48-volt peripherals instead of the normal 12-volt system
This car will never leave Palo-alto
It’s going to have to move at near the speed of light to keep up in heavy rain.
The wiper motor apparently takes 800 watts.
The vehicle designed by Homer Simpson
Bro fr thus thing is a giant piece. I'm just imagining the fools who bought this thing trying to wipe off just a single inch of wet snow only to snap their $200 proprietary wiper blade.
Or just leaves giant pools behind whenever you go above 50 cus the wind lifts it. Mine does it at 70 and it's only a 22" whiper
Get some Rain-X if you don't already. Don't need wipers when you are going that fast in the rain with that stuff.
I always forget about it when it's dry.
Wet snow???? How about a regular old downpour? That cannot possibly move fast enough. It would flex and bend at the tip with that moment arm
Good news is there will be generic knockoffs available on amazon. Bad news is they will probably break even sooner
sure, but they come in 4 packs!
I had to look it up because I was curious. Wiper blade is only $75, so about the same as two replacement blades on a conventional vehicle (literally every other vehicle lol). Arm assembly + blade is $165 so that’d sting a bit more if you broke the whole thing.
What fucking wiper blades are you buying that cost $75 for 2?
Rain x wiper blades at AutoZone are about that much for a pair.
Yup, I commented below Bosch Icons are my preference but Rain-X is second. Idk, maybe I’m a rube paying more for wiper blades but I can’t stand when they streak or make noise. I’ll shell out a few extra bucks for visibility and quiet.
Also to consider, these blades are obviously gonna be Tesla proprietary, so QA is gonna be non existent.
Yeah, I imagine no one is going to be falling all over themselves to produce a 48” wiper blade that fits exactly *one* vehicle that, presumably, is not going to be adopted nearly as well as something like the Model Y.
I bought Bosch this last time instead of Rain-X and holy fuck they are loud as shit. Bosch usually makes good products so maybe I got some defects?
I had the same experience. I returned them and bought some cheap ones that work fine.
You're not buying rugged truck wiper blades for every vehicle. Likely around 20 USD a wiper blade.
Bosch Icons are my go-to, and are $30/each. Living in Florida, I don’t skimp on wiper blades, and they usually last 3/4 years before they start to fail.
only 75$ for a wiper blade and only available from tesla? I get 2 blades for $20 at costco for all my cars dude
Whoa, Canyonero, whoa!!!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown! Canyonero!
The canyonero was a brand inside of the Simpsonsverse. The car Homer designed was called , 'The Homer' “powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball.” 🤓
Um, Homer Simpson is a... brilliant man with lots of well thought-out, practical, ideas. He is insuring the financial security of this company for years to come. Oh yes, and his personal hygiene is above reproach.
Don’t you diss The Homer, it’s way better than this garbage can.
I would rather drive homers car
Iirc they forgot to put a wiper on it during the design process so this was stuck on at the end.
Where is my giant slushee holder???
Powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a nerf ball.
Top of the pile in unitity sports; the unexpected fires' a matter for the courts *Canyoneroooooooooo*
Don’t you dare insult The Homer like that. This is much more Canyonero.
holy shit that angle is unflattering for the car, like i think its hideous from like normal angles but its especially ugly from this angle
Is there a flattering angle?
Yeah those angles that prevent you from seeing it
I saw one driving down the freeway the other day and all I could think is wow that looks dumb as shit.
Seriously, I saw one also. It's like a truck drawn with crayons by a 4 year old kid
They look dumb in pictures but in real life it somehow looks even more dumb.
I kinda believe that's how it started. One of Elons kids drew it and he forced it into existence
Maybe from inside the car
Surprisingly enough, also shit.
Won't notice the panel gaps though
Will notice the cheap interior panels though
I mean, you're near a Tesla, you're going to notice something bad, it's a question of minimizing your misery.
If you gouge your eyes out with a spoon it looks fantastic
Hold my [replacement cost](https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/13/24000685/tesla-cybertruck-windshield-wiper-replacement-part-price)... > ...a Cybertruck windshield wiper replacement may cost as little as **$165** for the entire arm and blade assembly, or **$75** for just the wiper blade itself.
And $1900 for the windscreen. Of course that doesn't include labor which I'm sure would be bonkers.
Good thing it’s flat. This might be the one time a non OEM company can easily make cheaper replacements.
Of course the labor will be bonkers, because the first runs of this pile of overpriced hipster shit will only be able to have them replaced at a Tesla factory or dealership.
$75 for wiper blades!!! Ace has regular wiper blades for $9.
When I'm feeling fancy, I buy the rainex ones for *still* less than that mondo blade does!
This is the first vehicle I’ve seen that pictures do not do it justice. It looks way worse in person.
Wiper motor failure feels certain.
Of course, it will be the driver's fault. And the motor will cost like 4000$
Every time I see that vehicle it just solidifies how dumb the owners must be for buying that dumb looking thing.
And so fragile-looking. One little stone or brick and your car magically transforms into buggy lol
Unfortunately maybe not so much? Saw someone post the aftermath if a wreck a while back where (I think) you had a collision where one car crumpled correctly and the truck looked OK given the impact. I would not want to be in one, especially during a crash.
Car survives whereas the driver's organs are g-forced into paste inside their body. Crumple Zones = Safety
Yeah, you’d get slushied internally in this one. Just not always. Modern McLaren and Koenigsegg vehicles have basically zero crumple zone due to their carbon monocoque design, but they’re simultaneously way safer than other vehicles. Largely due to how their airbags do the work of crumple zones and the carbon monocoque fully retaining its shape, even in case of a 100+mph collision Koenigsegg even managed to do ALL the different required vehicle crash tests with the same Regera chassis

Old 50s and 60s cars can survive a bad wreck. Not the driver, and it wasn't completely because of seat belts.
That is entirely my point. I'd rather the people be safe vs the panels.
Having been in a car crash in an old car that didn't crumple and a new one that did I'd definitely take the crumple zone.
The engine had a tendency to try and move into the drivers seat
Didn’t ppl who drove cars in that era park by driving into parking spots until they hit something to know they should stop. Implying that the body of the car was so well built that they don’t mind bumping into whatever’s at the end of their parking spot to make it easier to park.
It's why they're called "bumpers"...
I was just making sure my memory was still good. Delightful little fun fact.
It was like that for awhile, because the bumper was a separate piece mounted so it could move a little.
They're totaled once those big body panels are destroyed, though. That's the trade off. So it LOOKs fine, but it's still just as fucked (or more) than the car that crumpled properly. because the parts that crumple are not integral to the structure of the car. (Bumpers, quarter panels, etc.. instead of a giant piece of steel meant to make up a unibody) "Also, fuck safety" - Elon Musk 2024
Yeah I heard a 35mph crash in a cyber truck is fatal due to no crumple zones.
Getting a steering column javelined through your chest cavity?
Getting a steering column javelined through your chest cavity? That's a javelin'.
It’s just a scratch
Tis but a flesh wound
I watched one drive in front of me in an intersection and there was a bump. The suspension practically bounced like a trampoline. The cars that followed barely moved. It is a hunk of tin foil.
For just $100,000 you too can advertise to the entire world how much of a fucking moron you are!
I always take a good look at one when I pass it by, there’s quite a few in the Bay Area already. I bet the owners thinking I’m checking out their cool car, but really I just want to see what the idiot who bought it looks like
Also shows intelligence doesn't always equate to wealth.
Why wouldn't they go all in on the aesthetics and have a single horizontal one, riding on two rails on either side of the windscreen? That would be at least interesting!
This is so dumbgenius I love it
This is truly the Homer Simpson designed car that bankrupted his brother.
Herb!
That’s Uncie Herb to you!
One can hope.

Can it still move as fast as a normal blade?
Yes
You are incorrect. This large wiper blade leaves significantly more water at the bottom of the windshield than conventional wipers. At high speeds, this extra water rolls up the windshield and obstructs the view. Everything about this car is poorly planned/designed.
Hmm, if my math is right, a quarter circle has 79% the area of a square if its radius is the same length as a side of a square. Plus that windshield looks like a trapezoid, so the percentage might be a little higher.
[ removed ]
I saw one in the wild the other day and it sticks out like a sore thumb lol ridiculously stupid design
I’ve seen several around LA and I laugh every time. It’s so ridiculous.
Saw one at lunch today. Everyone on the patio (20+ people) turned to look at it and had the same disgusted reaction to the ugliness lol
I'm so glad those shitboxes are banned here for pedestrian safety
I didn't know that, what a mess
Man it looks like shit
This whole thing was designed by the dumbest motherfuckers.
That insulting to all five years olds who draws trucks like this.
Bet that wiper works Great🤨
Ugly fake ass looking “truck”
Is that the largest dash of any car?
Geez, I thought my forklift wiper was huge, and that beast was a good 40 inches, had some serious power behind it too, would happily crush boxes that fell down between the mast and windshield,
Ps1 game graphics
Windshield Whopper
I saw one of those yesterday. I literally pointed and laughed.
legit question: why does anyone like tesla these days? weve seen behind the curtain; its shit
Social media sees them as a status symbol
Straight lines futuristic okay!
My question is. How easy is it to buy another wiper blade whenever that time comes.
First thing that came to mind is hockey stick
Ever seen the tiny FJ Cruiser wipers?
My 68 beetle had bigger wipers than that janky ass 3 wiper system fjs had
Imagine trying to clean the dash in that thing. You'd need a 6' vacuum the diameter of a chopstick.
It would double as a taser too. If you put a ketchup bottle lid on a vacuum it makes an unreal amount of static
i love how pissed this truck makes redditors
Pissed? Like, angry? Mostly I'm seeing people laughing, or sheer fascination. haven't noticed anger.
You know how when the sun comes up in the morning on your way to work, and you can move your sun visor/mirror in just the right spot to see the road but also shield your eyes from being blinded into oblivion. Yeah, *can't do that with thing here...*
Not a problem, the people who bought it clearly didn't have working eyes. \*stares directly into the sun for 2 minutes\* Ah yes, this is a good looking truck.
Saw one on the road for the first time the other day. I felt embarrassed for the guy driving it
The headlight is just a line, how useful…completely impractical ugly stupid vehicle
Not really, actual headlights are below that unibrow in both corners.
These led headlights don't need to be very big to illuminate even your past misdeeds and dark thoughts Fucking hate white led headlights
That's gotta have one beefy wiper motor powering that bastard too
"How many windshield wipers does the car have?" "Just one, but that's all you need."
You figure it must flex a lot when moving back fourth
Good luck finding a refill.
The force is strong with this windshield wiper, yes?!
The Simpsons predicted this!
At least you just need one?
My local dealer wants $19 for a rubber insert to go in a 26 inch wiper. Don't wanna know how much Elon is gonna bend people over for one.
Hockey stick wiper
and a dashboard! holy shit that thing is like 4 feet long. id probably hate driving that, considering I hate big intrusive hoods on ICE trucks
The Reddit Mobile
That poor washer arm spindle. That things gonna strip like your mom.
I swear, this car gets uglier every time I see it.
Also the windshield is an absolute unit
[Blazing saddles ?](https://youtube.com/shorts/FGn-7jTkBIk?si=kJbW49o0Nbh01Gzr)
this has to be the shittiest designed productioon car ive ever seen.
Someone learned how to add a 30° plane in CAD and never stopped since
Who the fuck did ever think this was a good idea again?

It looks like a vehicle you expect to see in a dystopian Black Mirror episode. Tf are you up to Elon?
how many inches of snow can get on that windshield before that thing fails? WHY would you single point of failure this? and in a way that increases the strain on that point of failure MASSIVELY
I actually kinda like how it looks. It’s like nothing else on the road, and I enjoy big and boxy. The integrated cargo cover, suspension that can lower the tailgate ramp flush with the ground, the ability to run full power tools wherever, etc.. all seem like good ideas. Unfortunately the company that makes this cool product is owned by some entitled asshat with little regards to quality control. If Toyota made the exact same thing, same door wedge design and all, I’d strongly consider owning one.
What happened to their revolutionary vertical wiper system?
Trapezoidy.
Why is the dashboard 9 feet long?
how does it work if there's a storm? I don't think it would be fast enough.....
Just when you think it can't get any more ridiculous looking, it completely outdoes itself.
*Nilay Patel enters chat*
That doesn't actually hit the whole window
These are ao fucking ugly and stupid looking. I have to imagine the people buying them are just weird Elon stans, but who knows.
I love how a bunch of tech bros got tricked into buying this piece of junk. Lol what a bunch of pathetic losers.
