New wiper design

[The Tesla Guy]

Yes
I have this in my feed

Here’s a link to what I get when I click on it
https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/gen-2-key-fob-anybody-get-it-to-work.38457/

But just be clear I don’t think they posted here accidentally or on purpose. I think there’s some administrative issue where notifications are getting directed to the wrong forum so perhaps they are seeing the wiper thread pop up in their feed just like I see the key fob thread pop up in my feed Without realizing they were in the wrong forum

The good news is - a lot of new people from the south will be complaining about the wiper this week ?

 

[trentsize]

New wiper (1853252-00-E) still seems to spray poorly on the passenger side. Can someone point out exactly where the jets are on the blade to try cleaning them? EDIT: I see the jet holes now. I’m not seeing any apparent difference with the blade design.

Your profile says you have a Rivian R1T, no mention of a Cybertruck.

My suspension feels plenty cushy, even on the firmest setting, and I can't detect any firming up under acceleration.

So your comments confuse me.

Sold the Rivian after I got the Beast. It’s a common problem for at least the beast to stiffen up the active dampening in the front under acceleration. It’s making it super rock hard that turns a small bump into the feeling of hitting a curb.
I’ll fix my profile.

Presumably the suspension is tightened in relation to the acceleration but not sure if this happens at higher speeds. Perhaps to stop the front lifting .. just guessing here

Are you AWD or Beast? Beast is the firmest suspension of any truck I've ever been in. Hit the smallet of bumps and it feels like you've hit a major pothole.

Beast. We are off thread here but yes pothole like but only under acceleration. If you are just cruising the suspension is perfect.

Well this is not good. I should have my E wiper monday and will verify this as well. Tesla must address this issue! Is anyone from Tesla on these boards? A little reassuring commentary would go a long way about now...

i just got my arm, blade, and motor replaced and camera cleaned by tesla. can confirm that wiper fluid now jizzes much nicer and more than before, and even when dry wiping, it doesn't squeak like it used to.

Can you post a video of how it looks for you. I'm just curious how bad mine is.

My wiper was in auto and occasionally would activate., even after a fresh wash and perfect weather, I turned it off and it hasn’t triggered since. Would be nice if it didn’t trigger though in auto when not needed.

I think the Cyberbeast only adjusts the dampers and ride heights if you put it in Beast Launch Mode. If you just floor it in normal driving modes, I don't think it changes the damping or ride height, hence I'm wondering why this firm suspension is a problem?

Launch Mode is designed to get the fastest acceleration on a smooth track, not for everyday driving. The Cyberbeast will still beat a $150K Ford Raptor R (without putting it in Beast Launch Mode), so it's not like you need to use Launch Mode for anything but drag racing.

Makes total sense … safety issue : can’t have a wobbly truck going at those speeds .

How many are getting these ALL the time now? For me, they started happening just about every time I get in the car. I am certainly not going to clean the friggen camera if the damn wiper doesn’t do the job.

If the forward camera view appears hazy, you need to clean the inside of the windshield under the glare shield. I just did this myself after ~6 months of ownership, and I can drive straight into the rising sun without issue.

I've tried every height, in every mode. No matter what I do, it's the same. Every bump feels like a curb in the front under acceleration. And I'm not talking WOT. Any moderate acceleration. I started a thread a while ago to discuss and basically confirmed with other owners there is a problem.
I'm fairly certain it's not just my beast but I will for sure mention it if my lightbar ever comes in.
