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.
That's weird. Most Beast owners report a very quiet, comfortable ride.

What you are describing is more characteristic of a Rivian R1T.

Overall the suspension and ride of the CT is better than the R1T Gen 1. The only issue I have with the CT suspension is under acceleration. And the R1T was very comfortable except in sport on low. Otherwise a great riding truck.

Here's the thread I started so we can keep this one on topic.

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.
Do I have to remove anything to do that? If so, then I don't want to do it. I don't mind cleaning the windshield and even purchased a wand and some windshield cleaner (that works). I will mention this to the SC when they next come to do work because this is all new behavior and nothing has changed in terms of the environment.

You need to take it to the service center to have the inside glass cleaned directly in front of the camera. But I have found a very effective method for cleaning the windshield interior.

There's a procedure in the manual. I wrote up my own experience here:

It involves minor disassembly, but a Service Center will do it (cost=?)

So, to my surprise, Tesla responded to my spare wiper return with an email asking for proof about not receiving what I ordered. I sent an image of the invoice, and the wiper, showing I received a model "D" instead of a model "E". They agree, and shipped me out an "E", free of charge. It arrived literally in a plastic bag, which was surprising, but kudos to Tesla for sending me what I had ordered. Wiper design definitely looks a bit different.

Mentioned to service that FSD was dry wiping often, causing scratches on the windshield. I got a new wiper blade and wiper motor (not sure why). They also said I’d be getting a new wiper arm, but it isn’t listed on the service summary. My advisor confirmed the wiper blade is an updated design.

FSD still wipes dry as soon as it’s activated, but I can definitely tell it’s much smoother and made no nails on chalkboard noise anymore.
My VIN is 496xx

I love CYBERTRUCK, and l don't even have ONE.
By the time they arrive Down Under, it will be AMA2!NG

will the windshield wiper be mounted on the right side when it comes to australia?
I expect that will happen as part of the ADR compliance for right hand drive....along with a myriad of small annoying requests ( read: demands ) from Aussie law makers!

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.
Looks like the hose connection to the blade is kinked. I've fixed it but still having too little fluid leaking out of it, not spraying.
