Rear camera washer / sprayer by ClearVu for Cybertruck

TESBROS said:

We partnered with ClearVu to launch the rear camera washer for the Cybertruck. The installation isn't complex, but it isn't an easy install due to the fact that you'd have to drill a hole into the steel. Legit took 20+ minutes just to drill a hole. Other than that, the install is tapping into the front washer sprayer line, using a splitter, and running the line to the back. That way, you can spray both cameras at the same time. We have the video launching at noon if you want to see the whole process.



Also, we noticed the pump is very strong, so we are working with ClearVu to see if we can put a dampener to lighten it just a bit. The good news is that it works very well, and I no longer have to worry about a dirty or smudged camera!

I' m all for this. Don't get me wrong. Drill baby, drill but it does need to use pH balanced liquid solution to avoid surface staining or.... racing stripes film splash guards to avoid discoloration of stainless steel, doesn't it? ?

I have to comment on this and differ with you. Drilling stainless is easy and will take 10 seconds - once you are doing it correctly. That means a suitable metal cutting bit, a good cutting oil, and the bit turning at the correct speed.

Just putting a bit in a drill and going at it is a fail and a ruined bit.

But with the right bit and oil, you'll be cutting it like butter, and seeing long twisty shards coming of the cut metal around the drill bit.

Also - an obvious caution but worth repeating - NEVER drill into a car without knowing what if anything, is on the back side or interior of where you are putting a hole. You really do not want to drill into a wire harness, an AC coil, etc.

I really like the solution, and I am capable of doing this work, but I do not want to do it. I would like to see Tesla offer it as an aftermarket installation like it did for other things, and eventually incorporate it into new Cybertrucks. Of course, when they do, they will have the right amount of pressure and fluid delivered to the rear camera.
