Recently, the appearance of Tesla's first pure electric pickup truck Cyberruck prototype car has once again attracted public attention.
Musk previously published a public article on the social platform that Cybertruck will start mass production in 2023, and said that this model may be Tesla's best product ever.
It is precisely because Musk is so powerful, coupled with its own special shape, Cybertruck will attract countless fans.
Judging from the real shots flowing out, the production version of the prototype car Cyberruck basically follows the shape of the concept car, but has made some detail changes, such as the traditional style of rearview mirrors, and an oversized wiper at the front windshield.
And this large wiper just triggered a hot discussion, some netizens said: Don't mess with the Cyberruck owner, he can pull off the wiper at any time to beat you.
However, Musk recently replied to netizens on the social platform that the recent prototype car is not the final mass production version, which means that this oversized wiper will not appear on the mass production car.
Some netizens grew a sigh of relief after learning this news, because from the photos, this oversized wiper stayed near the A pillar when it did not work, which was bound to bring a larger blind spot of vision.
But some netizens expressed regret, after all, this oversized wiper is indeed very "cool".
In fact, Musk has long expressed his opinion on car wipers: "Wipers are the thing that bothers me the most, there is no simple solution, and placing deployable wipers in the front suitcase is the ideal way, but in fact it is also very complicated." ”
In fact, Tesla already has a patent for the "Electromagnetic Windshield Wipers System," which requires a linear actuator that can include rails and electromagnetic moving blocks, and because it is a modular system, it will be fairly easy to install.
And as Musk said, it can be hidden, but creating such a system is really challenging, and it is impossible to see its large-scale application in a short period of time.
