Wiper motor recall hahahahahaha

[DevilDogDMD]

Had the recall done today. My wife picked up the truck and drove it home. I got home and checked it out after work. Look at how they aligned the windshield wiper. It now wipes the Fronk, LOL! Service has become really disappointing since we bought our first in 2016.

Yours is worse than mine after the recall, going back soon to have it fixed..

Literally bothers my soul when its blocking my line of sight..

Your cybertruck has clock feature..?

Just fixed it. So dumb, no QA at all. Nut is under the cover. You have to pull off the washer tubing from a small Barb. Remove the bolt, then wiggle the wiper up off the motor assembly a little bit. Put it to where you want it and then tighten the nut down.

Mine is pretty close after recall and going back again. What a waste of time…

Took 10 min to move it once I figured out how.

Did exactly as you described but couldn't get the wiper to lift up - was afraid to force it and end up breaking something. Am I missing a step here or was it that hard to pull the wpier up after removing the nut?

It was really hard and took a lot of wiggling. If you look at the instructions directly from Tesla they actually have a press that is similar to a gear guller to get it off. But it will come up.

Yep had the same issue. Tesla mobile came back and fixed it. As others have said, gotta pull it off (it’s hard)… reposition it, an push it back on. The Tesla tech had to wrestle it off with 2 hands.

I hope my future is not this bleak…

I’m looking forward to getting my truck soon, I surely hope it’s one of the better builds..

Most likely your future will be fine, people aren’t making post saying how their wipers work fine. Mine worked fine, they replaced it because of the recall and that one hasn’t had a problem either.

They can barely align the wheel covers with the tires. Not surprised they can't realign the wipers.

Just a word of caution, anyone trying to remove this wiper, be very careful. I've known many people over the years that have have cracked windshields removing wipers without the proper tool.
