If the wiper is stored Vertical as in the pic this is going to be a HUGE issue for 60% of the country. I have posted about this multiple times but you cannot clear snow with a big wiper in that configuration.
Has no-one ever cleaned off 4-6 inches of ice and snow from their vehicle?
Using an ice scraper how are you supposed to pull snow over that wiper and off the driver side?
Is there a special ice scraper that will push it all the way across the windshield to the passenger side?
How do I lift this wiper off the glass so that while my truck is parked in a snowstorm while I'm at work, I do not freeze the wiper to the windshield?
Is there a special heater to keep the windshield clear?
How much power would need to be consumed to preheat and clear the windshield if there is said heater?
If the snow is lite and the wiper sweeps it down then there will be a pile up at the bottom that will then be blown up the screen wouldnt starting from the bottom and wiping up be better?
If the Cybertruck design team is going to design only for areas that do not get appreciable amounts of snow then they are going to loose a significant amount of sales. As an Engineer I'm very concerned about the lack of foresight in this required feature and wondering what else is being designed with tunnel vision.
Mr. Musk you should send your designers on a trip and find out how the people you want to buy your product will actually need to use it.
