- 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.
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.
Is the Cybertruck’s wiper actually multiple wipers in a row? An investigation https://t.co/ZWXGOQRfW6

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.
