Latest Tesla Cybertruck Prototype Has One Minuscule Windshield Wiper
Latest Tesla Cybertruck Prototype Has One Minuscule Windshield Wiper-February 2024

Last time we saw the Tesla Cybertruck prototype, it was at the company’s . Back then, it sported , which was so soundly mocked that Elon Musk himself that it would never see production.

Now, a revised Cybertruck prototype is . This time, rather than a single enormous wiper, it bears a single miniscule one. Maybe on the next try, Tesla will find that goldilocks size.

The Cybertruck was out in the wild for an appearance with Pacific Gas and Electric, for which Tesla had supplied batteries. Despite its sharp angles, PG&E didn’t use the Cybertruck to cut the opening ribbon.

While the Cybertruck prototype’s original wiper stretched nearly to the top of the truck, this new one seems to only reach about halfway up the windshield. Interestingly, while the Big Wiper did have a severe step-down in size at approximately the height of the Little Wiper, this new one doesn’t appear to simply be a modification of the larger arm — the base, where the windshield wiper actually mounts to the car, is an entirely different shape.

The new wiper, with its shorter reach, doesn’t appear to even extend to the top of the driver’s head in the footage shared to Instagram. We’ve talked before about the, complete with reflectors and mirrors and wipers, but the new Little Wiper stands as another good example of the problem. The Cybertruck aesthetic calls for a lot of glass, and it seems Tesla still hasn’t quite figured out how to clear it.

I Drove The 800-Volt Hyundai Ioniq 5, The First Car On The 'Revolutionary' E-GMP Platform. It's Fantastic
The is the first car built on Hyundai’s new 800-volt , or E-GMP. It’s an industrial-looking, retro-futuristic little hatchback that shares bones with the much less retro, more aggressive Kia EV6.
