I’m sorry but IMHO 2 ounces seems like a few drops on that massive chunk of glass.

I do agree that it would perform 100% times better if it would continue to pump for as long as I hold the wipe button. And the pressure should be higher with holes as small as possible for it to be able to spray all along the blade. Looks like the voltage increase at pump by software update will do that.

Mine is pretty anemic and it feels like it sprays on the up stroke and pauses on the down stroke. So it is halfway up the windshield before it has built pressure enough to spray the upper half of the blade. My driver side ends up fairly cleared and the passenger side is a mess of streaks. Of course, it's possible that mine's just kinking when the blade is down and it's not actually the pump cycling. I'll have to check the hose, I also have a spare blade I may swap and see if it improves.

Just remember to clean the inside of your windscreen . I did .. lots of gassing ..that’s happens …

Now I feel like I am looking through a new pair of ray bans … ….

I am going to check mine out with slow motion video and see if it has that volume of fluid. I do get a lot of streaking on the passenger side and when the sun hits it it is blinding.

Ended up taking off the elbow connection at the arm base. While connected a flexible tube to it and running wiper on wash, this is how much water sprayed from two swipes.
In my case there is no pressure at the nozzles and it kind of leaking out rather than sprays.

If anyone wants to do the same and measure pressure or amount of washing fluid, just take off the cap from base of wiper arm and connect any flexible tube with fittings diameter.

I'm gonna have to try this. I took my wiper arm assembly all apart and nothing appeared kinked. It's cold out there, so might not be right away, but I would love to solve this. Mine is terrible.

Here’s a slow-mo of my wiper spraying, for reference.
But that looks like a decent amount. Are you happy with the wash, or does it leave streaks? like:

I slo mo-ed video mine and it doesn't look that different

Your video says it all, thank you! Definitely an issue.
Does this look bad? It looks better than mine. Have you seen a video of that washing activity that looks better? Is there a "works correctly" reference?

This link was used in a response to a question I had in a post, my bad, I thought it was imbedded in my post. So my bad at responding on this post.

It was an issue with the wiper “bumping” at bottom of its stroke. His video does not show this at all, so it confirms I have an issue.

What do you mean by "lots of gassing"? I struggled with a haze for a very long time and Tesla kept cleaning the windshield which improved it a little each time.

It’s the plastic components from the interior that release compounds which settle on the inside of he windscreen more pronounced in the cybertruck given the flat angle of the window .

Yep, that "new car smell" slowly leaving the plastics.
