He's wrong about the sweep of the wiper. We've already seen it in action and the resulting path.

I agree that Sandy might have been wrong with his comment on motion path of the arm. If the BAW had a linear actuator within the arm, we could see it cover a higher area on the passenger side.

The wiper actuator is not directly attached to the rotation point so I believe this is to change the torque applied depending on the position of the BAW. It looks like it will be able to apply its greatest torque when the BAW is at a horizontal position.

I'm pretty sure the wiper works with two hinges, the second hinge is just hidden behind the lip of the frunk. It's the design where the motor (high torque for sure) rotates in one direction and the dual lever action turns the rotational movment into a back-and-forth rotation of the BAW.

The wiper won't cover the top right passenger side but because it's so high the amount of "dirty" windshield left will be approximately the same proportionally to a regular car. also a lot of the top end of the windshield is opaque anyways with the headliner/visors area.

So does this mean there is no HEPA filter? Or could it be somewhere in there? Doesn't seem like there is anywhere to put it that is servicable?
None of the Tesla HEPA filters are convenient to replace.

Well, in my Y you have to remove the frunk liner, and pop off the big hunk of plastic ducting that contains the filter, it's not terrible. But where would it go in the CT? Doesn't look like there is a spot? I mean, what the hell do I know, but it doesn't stick out if it's there.

A falling BAW is Easy to 'catch'.
A rising BAW is hard to 'THROW'

Is it accurate to say that the younger lad seemed to have precise, confident information, compared to Sandy? Should let him take the lead.

on some of their models that have a filter can be accessed from the cab
