Tesla Cybertruck Delivery Delay Due to Wiper Motor Problem

TapTechNews June 15th news, according to the insideevs website report, the delivery date of Tesla's electric pickup Cybertruck has been postponed, allegedly due to a wiper motor problem.

It is reported that many pre-order owners of Cybertruck have been informed that the delivery date of their vehicles will be postponed by at least one week, and the staff at Tesla service centers told the buyers that the problem of the wiper motor is the main reason for the delay. Although this statement has not been officially confirmed, but in recent weeks there have been multiple reports of poor or completely failed wiper motor function of Cybertruck.

Two owners from Florida and Houston revealed that they could not start the wipers when encountering heavy rain, resulting in blocked driving vision and even having to drive the car to a safe place冒着 heavy rain.

It is reported that Tesla has been delivering new Cybertrucks to customers until yesterday (June 14th). If the wiper problem is indeed the cause of the delay, then Tesla is likely to have developed a solution and hopes to push it to the affected owners soon, but this time is still unknown for now.

TapTechNews noticed that in December last year, Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, said in an interview that in order to remove the rain from Cybertruck's oversized windshield, Tesla had to abandon the traditional wiper design. He disclosed that the power of this wiper is nearly 1 kilowatt, and a spoiler is also designed at the end to prevent the wiper from deviating from the windshield when driving at high speed.

After Cybertruck started delivery, a YouTuber evaluated this electric pickup and used a word to describe the car's wipers - Giant wet noodles. Different from the very hard traditional wipers, the wiper of Cybertruck seems to be extremely soft. In the video, Kyle Conner easily peeled the wiper off the windshield, and the wiper just dangled down like a giant wet noodle limp.
