Hope they consider Nano-Etched Glass (engineered nano-scale surface texturing) for a durable and extremely hydrophobic (water repellent) Cybertruck windshield. This could potentially eliminate the need for windshield wipers.

It would likely take significant research and investment to produce such a glass product at scale, but I think Tesla's Glass division can do it. It would be another wonderful differentiator for Tesla's automotive vehicle products.

They will always need a wiper to keep the forward-looking camera clean.

I've used RAIN-X before with good results, but it needs to be reapplied about monthly to maintain the hydrophobic effect.

Nano-etched hydrophobic, sound and heat insulated, transparent aluminum. Now there is a windshield I could get behind. Give those qualities to all the windows and I'd be super happy.

And whales contained.

Don’t forget the whales, whales are the whole reason Tesla added transparent aluminum to the Cybertrek
