Does everyone’s windshield wiper suck?

I just took my truck in for service and got a loaner new cyber, and can confirm that wiper is just as bad as mine ?

Can someone confirm whether their washer fluid sprays for the entire time up wipe?

Mine only squirts one shot and is ‘off’ on the remainder of the up wipe.

I tested mine. When I activated the wiper wash, the arm swung down squirted water (not much), wiped up (no water), went back down and squirted water and went back up. Cycled this several times with the same actions.

Slow-Mo example of a working one AFAIK.

Tesla Cyber Wiper in Action - Slow-MO

The above video is probably your best reference. He has it on the wiper as it moves.

Mine acted like that when it was low on fluid. This thing goes through fluid fast.

Thanks for checking. Yes that’s the same as mine. But there was a video posted up thread and his seemed to continuously spray fluid on the up wipe.

Did Tesla change the behavior?

That’s exactly why I asked. It appears fluid is sprayed on the entire up wipe. Mine doesn’t do that.

I just checked mine and it looks like it stops spraying about half way up the up stroke.

Which is different from that video right?

In the slow motion on the video it looks like his goes about about 3/4 of the way before it stops.

Yes, of course.

Just checking.

I love a full squirt, not a trickle.
