Tesla’s Cybertruck, a fully electric pickup truck, has run into a new problem that has prompted the automaker to suspend deliveries of the vehicle for about a week. According to multiple posts on online forums, the issue is related to the large windshield wiper and the motor that powers it. This latest development adds to the list of issues that the Cybertruck has faced since its launch in December 2023.
One of the first customers to report the problem was a Florida-based owner who said that the wiper failed to function when it started raining on their way home. The owner had to wait for three and a half hours at a Dunkin’ Donuts before Tesla’s roadside assistance team arrived to fix the issue. Another customer reported a similar problem, saying that the wiper had not worked since they bought the vehicle and had to take it back to Tesla for repair.
The issue is not limited to these two customers, with multiple other owners reporting similar problems with the windshield wiper. Some have described the wiper as not working at all, while others said that it only works occasionally. The problem has led to frustration and disappointment among Cybertruck owners who were looking forward to enjoying their new vehicles without any issues.
The suspension of deliveries is likely to cause inconvenience to new customers who were expecting to take delivery of their Cybertrucks over the next week. The exact timeline for when deliveries will resume is unclear, but it appears that Tesla needs more time to resolve the issue and ensure that the vehicles are safe and reliable.
Tesla’s Cybertruck Hit with New Issue, Deliveries Suspended
This is not the first issue that the Cybertruck has faced since its launch. In April, Tesla was forced to temporarily halt production of the vehicle due to a problem with the cover on the accelerator pedal. The issue was resolved through a recall of nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks, which were fixed with a simple adjustment to the pedal cover.
Despite these issues, the Cybertruck remains a popular and highly anticipated vehicle. Its futuristic design and electric powertrain have generated significant interest and enthusiasm among car enthusiasts and environmentalists alike. However, the problems with the windshield wiper and other design flaws are a major setback for the automaker and could impact the vehicle’s adoption rate.
For now, Tesla has not commented publicly on the issue with the windshield wiper and has not announced any kind of recall. The company will likely need to take swift and decisive action to resolve the problem and restore customer confidence in the Cybertruck. The suspension of deliveries is a necessary step in addressing the issue, and it will be interesting to see how Tesla handles the situation in the coming weeks.
