New Tesla Cybertruck spotted with giant windshield wiper that 'troubles' Elon Musk
Fox News
A Tesla Cybertruck prototype equipped with a giant single-arm windshield wiper and other new features has been captured on camera by a drone photographer.
Elon Musk commented on the photos on Twitter, writing, "The wiper is what troubles me most. No easy solution. Deployable wiper that stows in front trunk would be ideal, but complex."
Tesla recently filed patents for both a laser system that could zap debris off of a windshield or camera cover, and wipers that move on electromagnetic rails instead of the traditional recirculating motors, but neither is evident on the vehicle.
The truck also now has conventional rearview mirrors that Musk said are required by law, but removable, suggesting it will also have a side-view camera system that can be used instead.
