I've not seen or heard this.

A washer line from front to back would not be easy. The alternative would be maybe a washer reservoir in the tailgate or nearby, but seems difficult as well.

I'd be surprised if this happened but who knows.

Just stating the obvious but, given the tonneau blacks the rear view mirror, the rear view camera needs to stay clean.

As scotf200 noted, ClearVu runs a washer line from the existing reservoir.

There is an area in the tailgate under the inside cover that would accept a washer fluid reservoir. Just need power and communications to activate a washer.

This should be standard equipment.

Agree, plenty of room in the tailgate and if your blocking the rear view mirror need to be able to keep the camera clear, I am sure it is coming to the truck.

I was watching an episode of Kim Java and it was indicated that there was a rumor that the rear camera would get a water sprayer.

I'm really hoping that current cyber truck owners will get the option to change their tailgate to include this option.

I just got my cyber truck and I've only driven about 20 mi around farmlands and my rear camera is already dusty and hard to see with.
I've had my cybertruck for 4 days on Long Island which is a suburban area with paved roads and my rear view camera is almost unusable. It's blurry especially in the center of the image and it's much worse at night with reflections of lights streaking vertically. I love the truck, but the rear view camera is dangerous and my biggest complaint.

Also, the review image disappears when using the turn signal indicator which is dangerous. But that's an easy software fix which hopefully will come soon.

Here's the fix I use for the lack of a rear camera cleaner:

When I walk up to my truck to get in, I pull my eyeglass cleaner cloth out of my pocket or the microfiber towel out of the door pocket and give that camera a little wipe.

After 5 weeks or ownership, 4,000 miles, lots of miles through rain, and maybe 20 miles off-road, I've never had an issue with a dirty back camera.

Let me take that back, that ONLY time that I have problem is backing into my garage when rainy. A water drop tends to distort picture.

I've driven about two yards off road.... I missed the edge of my driveway and crushed my wife's Day Lillies. I'm staying on the (straight and narrow) road from now on!
