Cybertruck FULL FRONT VIEW! (2/9/23)

[anionic1]

I think the mirrors are meant to be removed. They are small and cheap and removable.

In California you are required to have two rear view mirrors installed. Where most of the trucks are sold, those mirrors will be staying on.

Are you suggesting most of these will be sold in California?

California has a much lower truck/ resident ratio than much of the country.

Stoneridge MirrorEye Camera Monitor System: Better Safety Through Better Vision.

FMCSA Exemption
In 2018, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) approved Stoneridge’s exemption application to federal law, making it the first CMS to receive exemption. This exemption allows its MirrorEye® Camera Monitor System to be installed as an alternative to conventional rear-vision mirrors currently required on commercial motor vehicles in the United States.

A future with no mirrors and fewer blind spots
MirrorEye technology is finding fans from new drivers to ‘grizzled’ vets, who say the HD displays make hauling a trailer much safer.
Tyson Foods, one of the largest food product private fleets in the U.S., isn’t usually an early adopter of new transportation technology. Still, the fleet couldn’t resist the benefits of the Stoneridge MirrorEye system.

I think Tesla has already solved the BAW "problem" but are waiting until the final reveal to incorporate it into a CT that is out in the public eye. Laser wiper, anyone? The flat windshield would make a much easier surface for a laser to be able to "shoot" across to clear debris.

I suspect that Texas will be a bigger market for this vehicle than California, but I take your point that in some states you may need to keep one or two of them on. In any case, I think it is clear that these are designed to be removed (and for those who must keep them on to be aesthetically integrated and minimal drag). They are clearly not designed to be the primary way you see to the left and right rear of the vehicle.

Wow, little wheels BIG wiper…I mean, you could go fishin” with that BIG ASS WIPER!

Designed to remove snow AND pedestrians from the windshield

I just had a thought. Have you ever gotten out of the car in the rain at the exact moment the wiper blade is clearing rain towards you? Or rolled down the window at that moment? My Y hurls water at me, I can't imagine what BAW is going to do . . .

In the words of Cardi B "get a bucket and a mop for this BAW"

With the BAW mounted on the drivers side, the guy handing you food at the drive-thru will be absolutely obliterated on rainy days

 

[Deleted member 16240]

That f-king wiper. Meh, I think I'm out. From a functionality and feature standpoint, I think they missed the boat trying to kowtow to the whims of a moron with a raging ego.
C'mon Canoo truck!

Putting the BAW functionality to bed.

We know based on the recent 8 tires in the bed that the width of cybertruck will be around 60" or 5 feet.

now If we were to assume the Cybertruck windshield to be a square and eyeballing some of the BAW shape and size this is how the BAW would wipe the CT windshield.

No telescopic or complex systems required. this also explains the fairly lower positioning of the front AP cameras.

You show why is has to have a complex motion. It has to clear the drivers field of view. This is a solved problem on ships
