I don’t understand the complaints regarding the unibrow wiper. It cleans the windshield just fine.

I’m more concerned about rear seat passengers banging their head on the sloped roofline getting in/out of the truck.

If you are a tall passenger it would suck, but wipers are only there as a safety measure for the driver.

I think the offset and reverse parking of the CTs looks funny in a group like in the photo. The straight edges and low poly geometry of the flat surfaces is confusing, unlike curved cars that are parked next to eachother, that somehow blend into eachother.

I suppose we'll get used to owning and looking for the squarest looking truck in the lot.

I dont think it would tbh. Angles and whatnot

You beat me to it!

The wiper motor part number must be exclusive to the CT. It has to be super HD to move that BAW.

I wonder which wiper perfectly cleared the entire side glass only…

Every ‘car’ is a compromise.. I believe drag won this fight. Especially when there is no ‘cowl/water trough’

and it just looks cool’er in the vertical position..

being tall irrelevant to the wiper coverage

If I was tasked to make that BAW work, I would put all my mental energy in figuring out a reliable mechanism to make the same BAW move laterally instead of traditional rotation. Not saying it is easy, but their optimus mechanical engineers could figure it out. In addition to covering all of the windshield, it has aerodynamic benefits at high speed. As is, when BAW is in lower position, it‘s entire length is fighting air and raindrops and totally screws up the smooth slope in front. At high speed, that additional drag is kind of a drag.
