e.w. niedermeyer: It's hilarious that the Cybertruck's *heavy sigh* Gigawiper is a single point of failure, but what's less funny is that Tesla is once again fixing safety equipment without a recall, which is very much a violation of the federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-p...

Tesla pauses Cybertruck deliveries over wiper motor issuedriveteslacanada.ca Tesla has temporarily paused Cybertruck deliveries over an issue with perhaps one of the most talked about features on the electric truck, the Gigawiper. On Friday Cybertruck reservations holders star...

Of course the Woke Moralists on here are so busy trying to push automated speed enforcement against hard working Americans trying to get to work on time that they don't even care about Tesla violating safety laws with impunity, so sad to see what's become of Online Leftism isn't it, such a pity

(synthesis) I think they should have a camera that automatically writes you a ticket if you're driving a cybertruck

goddamn maybe the era of coalition politics isn't over after all, let's ride!

my fears were well placed, the discourse has indeed awoken something in me... an ancient hunger that can only be sated by the cleansing flames of absolute and irredeemable cancellation

I saw one person on here saying speeding tickets are bad, even speed cameras, because cops arbitrarily decide whether to issue them, and some police guilds even issue friends and family members with cards allowing them to speed. All of that is awful, ACAB, but it's an argument *for* speed cameras!

Has anyone thought about how to exit the model X from the back if you're parked let's say close to a wall? You could obviously get out before parking in there but it's more the stupid idea of CEO Dip shit that's in the wrong here.

It's funny that they decided to redesign the windscreen wiper, something that has been a solved technology since the 1920s

I read a month or more ago that Tesla had realized they cheaped out on the wiper motor, it was too weak, it would inevitably burn out very quickly. This is NOT, as asserted in the article, a supplier quality issue - Tesla just ordered and installed motors far too wimpy for the oversized wiper.

I had assumed that if I had read a news article about it weeks ago then surely Tesla must have bene forced to reconsider, would at least have switched to installing an appropriate motor in the cars that hadn't left their showrooms yet. But I guess it seems not.

Oh, hey, here's the article I read. Exactly a month ago! Tesla bragged they'd be able to power their giant wiper conglomeration with an 800 watt motor. Might have worked, too, except they installed a 120 watt motor - apparently only twice as strong as your normal car's wiper motor.

Tesla Cybertruck's Gigawiper Is Again in the Spotlight As Wiper Motors Fail Repeatedlywww.autoevolution.com The Cybertruck owners report that the gigawiper motors are failing repeatedly, which might force Tesla to issue a recall rather soon

The really fun bit, is that these wipers had to have failed under testing or no testing was done. Law suit discovery is going to be painful.

They may have worked okay under test conditions: limited duration, no wind from the environment or from the car's motion, no vibration or bumps or grit. But its incredible that once they realized their fuckup they didn't implement a fix and issue a physical recall.

I work on vehicle components and there are standard certification tests that cover that stuff. ISO standard tests for all of that. So I’m wondering what they actually did in development.

Does it never rain in wherever they design Teslas?

Brain genius moment as they said "it's not gonna need an adequate wiper motor because nobody will want to drive it in rain if it rusts when you do that!"

According to the article I read (linked above) it didn't occur to them that high winds might be an issue. For a car, that moves at high speeds.

When you guys have a life problem, I recommend a "containment hold!" (This is NOT my legal advice.)

There's no way it's a "Gigawiper". You're making that up to make fun of Elon Musk. Even he wouldn't come up with a name that dumb.

He likes that word giga a lot. It's very strange.

Giggaty giggaty.

"I like the way you work it – no giggaty"

It's literally just three (or four?) wiper blades stuck to each other.

“Three wiper blades in a trenchcoat” was perfectly teed up for you.

Seemed unkind on the day I was already in another thread where people are calling Faine three government agencies in a trenchcoat. (in jest, to be clear)

Gillette is going to sue them over their three or four blade design

And yet...

💀

If it were that good at wiping, there wouldn't be any Cybertruck left. Because wiping is what you do to get rid of shit. That's the joke.
