Remember Tesla Cybertruck's oversized windshield wiper?naked video sex video sex The one that appears too large to exist, at least not without malfunctioning in some way? Well, it turns out that it is.
Tesla just issued a recall for over 11,000 Cybertrucks over a windshield wiper issue. The recall includes all model year 2024 Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from Nov. 13, 2023, to June 6, 2024, which is pretty much all of them given that the Cybertruck deliveries started in Nov. 2023.
"On affected vehicles, the front windshield wiper motor controller may stop functioning due to electrical overstress to the gate driver component," the recall report says. "A non-functioning windshield wiper may reduce visibility in certain operating conditions, which may increase the risk of a collision."

The report also said that Tesla is not aware of any collisions, injuries, or deaths relating to the issue.
For Cybertruck owners, this means that they'll have to take their car to a Tesla service center and get the windshield wiper motor replaced.
The Cybertruck's oversized windshield gained notoriety even before the car itself launched with spy shots revealing just how oddly huge it is (compared to any other car's wiper). Tesla CEO Elon Musk also said that the wiper is a big trouble for the car's development, noting that there's "no easy solution" for it.
The chatter about the wiper subsided after the car launched, but it appears that its troublemaking days aren't over.

This is not the Cybertruck's first recall rodeo. The company recalled all of the Cybertrucks it sold in April 2024 due to accelerator pad issues. And unlike many of Tesla's other recalls, which were easily solved with a software update, these Cybertruck recalls required a visit to a service center. All in all, Tesla issued four Cybertruck recalls since the car went on sale.
