Cybertruck Wiper Woes Washed Away? 2025.2.8 Promises Salty Solution
The Cybertruck’s single wiper blade: revolutionary design or cleaning compromise? Early adopters battling winter road salt buildup might argue the latter. Pictures circulating online show windshields caked in grime, even impacting camera functionality. Is this a design flaw, or simply growing pains for a new vehicle?
Tesla’s 2025.2.8 update claims to address this with a “double soak” feature, holding the wash button for two cycles to continuously spray fluid. Will this truly conquer the salt, or are we looking at a temporary fix? Cybertruck owners in snowy climates, share your experiences – is this the solution you’ve been waiting for?
Beyond the wiper, this begs a larger question: how will Tesla handle future Cybertruck maintenance and design iterations? Will software updates consistently bridge the gap between innovative design and real-world practicality? Is this the new normal for vehicle ownership, or should we expect more robust hardware solutions in future models?
Meanwhile, Tesla's Robotaxi ambitions face scrutiny in California. Applying for a permit requiring safety drivers seems to contradict their autonomous goals. Is this a strategic move to introduce the public to self-driving gradually, or a sign that true autonomy is further off than we think? Is offering free, supervised rides a clever marketing ploy or a necessary step towards widespread acceptance?
And finally, MotorTrend awards NACS best charging tech, solidifying its dominance. But with widespread adoption comes a new set of challenges. Can the infrastructure keep pace with the growing number of EVs? Will this create a divide between NACS-enabled vehicles and those relying on older standards? What are the long-term implications of a single charging standard, and what role will Tesla play in shaping the future of EV charging?
