Wiper Fluid - anemic spraying / weak spray?

[hgpilot]

Not sure if this is just my CT but when I need to use washer fluid on this giant beautiful windshield - I get marginal results. While I love the staggered spray pattern (great design) there just isn't enough fluid spraying out to do the job without streaking. Fluid levels are full, spray system seems to be working fine - but just isn't enough solution coming out. System isn't clogged - anyone else have this issue?

I agree. I am not happy with the wiper and how it distributes the fluid. It doesn't put enough on the windshield. I want to soak the windshield with fluid then wipe. I feel the fluid doens't have enough time to soak into the dirt then have a clean wipe. It wipes it off to quick then leaves streaks. It also wipes a last dry wipe without fluid and causes streaks. I cringe every time it does that last dry wipe.

Same experience.

There's a pill for that.

Same

You may want to check, but I believe this is a recall on this.

same here, I think the issue is the fluid sprays almost on the wiper blade, so you do not even see the windshield get really wet, I usually hit the washer like 5x, it works but yes, it is weak

Same here! Mercedes had this design many years ago called "Magic Vision Control", used to work pretty great on my GLS. Can't say the same about CT, leaves a lot of streaks.

Mine started strong but within 2 days, noticed today it was weak.

Mine hasn't changed since it was delivered in April. I need to hold down the spray button too long. It seems like it would clean better if it pumped fluid on the backstroke instead of right in front of the wiper. This could be accomplished with an Over-the-Air update. But maybe Tesla is concerned that leaving too much unwiped fluid on the windshield (until the wiper returns) is a visibility hazard.

It works best in the rain, not so much to clean a dry windshield.

Agreed. Maybe they could have this different behavior when the car is stationary.

Ya, it’s bad. I asked the service center about it and they told me the performance of my wiper spray is consistent with other Cybertrucks…

Hopefully there is a recall or fix for this.

I could live with it the way it is but, I agree, a fix would be nice. It's the worst thing about a truck that comes closer to perfect than any other truck/suv on the market.

Agreed, same here. I told my service center and they didn't have a solution it was normal. It will cause premature wear of the wiper scraping along relatively dry glass.

Mine seems to have less pressure than it previously had.
At be the new update changed the pressure?
