suggestion: make the front window pillars bigger. Store the wipers on the window side in a cavity in the pillar. Then on the rear facing side of the pillar install a rear view mirror along the whole side. that would keep the cyber truck style incorporate the wipers and have rear view mirrors on both sides.

Additional explanation: if mirror were capable to fit within the storage area for wipers but run entire length of pillar. segmented narrow mirrors could be positioned to see a large area. maybe an attached storage feature storing wiper and mirrors. love the cyber shape. many motorcycle mirrors are shaped to enhance appearance.
Thanks for responses. My first post! been a tesla fan since 2018. Intend to be a long investor. long time Zack and Jessy, Rob, Steven M, R., Viking, electrified, Joe T., etc. watch something everyday. :)

IIHS rules. Nothing else matters. Until you own it.

Its an opportunity to configure and customize at the consumer level.

Somewhere there’s a DDS with laser tools and the gumption to invent the lazerblade.

Mirrors that stow would have the advantage of being available when you go somewhere that doesn't let you go without.

Making the front pillars wider will reduce visibility. Reduced safety for perceived aestetics may not be what you want

Is there a legal limit for mirror size?

Seems to me fabricating some tiny after market replacement mirrors for the Cybertruck might be a business opportunity. Have to figure out if there is a minimum legal size. If the big mirrors are removable, there is likely some kind of mount you could replicate and maybe 3d print some micro-mirrors.
