Cybertruck's massive wiper may actually be a few blades attached to each other

Will that make it easier or harder to replace?

  • One of the standout features of Tesla's Cybertruck is its enormous windshield wiper.
  • Photos suggest the giant wiper might actually be made of multiple wipers attached to each other. 
  • Tesla's long-awaited Cybertruck is slated to finally launch on November 30th.

As more details surface about Tesla's long-awaited Cybertruck, one feature that's gotten a lot of attention is the Cybertruck's ridiculously large windshield wiper. New photos seem to reveal that it might actually be multiple wiper blades stacked in a row on top of each other.

The Verge posted on X close-up photos that it took showing what looks like at least two wipers attached tip-to-end going up the length of the Cybertruck's windshield. If this is the case, it might be to make it easier to replace the wiper (or wipers?), the Verge reported — basically, it might be easier to get multiple regular wipers than to buy and replace one giant custom one.

The original, 2019 design of the Cybertruck didn't include windshield wipers at all, but one had to be added to adhere to US road-safety rules. The added windshield wiper now rests vertically alongside the driver's side of the windshield when not in use.

A few images and videos of the wiper so far show that it seems to do a pretty mediocre job of actually cleaning the Cybertruck's windshield, leaving a large swath of the glass dusty and dirty.

The long-awaited Cybertruck is set to be released on November 30, so the truth of the enormous windshield wiper will soon be revealed once and for all.
