How’d you 2 *not* know about Rain-X?? Perfect on that huge glass. Now You Know! Also, I’ve seen super extreme winter conditions, where most car stopped on the freeways, scraping their windshield, just to see something…my windshield was perfect.
Just today I heard CT has a wiper motor recall. Thought at first that was going to be covered… sounds pretty minor, but be curious to hear what you experience.
I would be curious as to what the wipers would do with using RainX on the windshield? I use that here in Maine and it works really well. And no I don't have the cyber truck just a regular windshield.
I’ve been happy with the wiper in the rain. But I hate trying to use the wiper fluid. It barely sprays anything and most of the fluid lands above the wiper path and cleans nearly nothing. Hope i can find a fix for it.
I find the wiper a little aggressive for my liking (I've had mine for almost a month). But then, I do prefer to do some solid RainX and use wipers sparingly.
Great learning experience. It can rain hard here in Australia so good to know if you don't have to use them that often. Just have to wait for our trucks to arrive in RHD. Keep smiling everyone
Mercedes had a Single Wiper in 90s and 2000s - it extended during it's travel in the corner. Wonder if Tesla could add something like this to the CyberWiper.
Hey Jessie, I’ve been watching you guys since 2019 ish you guys are great. Im sure this is crossing the line, but it’s coming from love. I’ve seen you progressively get heavier and heavier, and I hope you can do some research on the endocrine system, diet and weightlifting
Great video, answered a lot of questions I had. I think Tesla is missing an opportunity that they can EASILY fix with software. One button press to bring up menu. Long hold press to do the cleaner. What they are missing is a 2 button press to activate your chosen default mode. If I had a cybertruck I would make my 2 button press turn it to auto. Which is exactly how I use my current car. I leave the wipers off and then when rain comes I turn on the auto wipers and the car does the rest. I don't leave the auto wipers on because you get false positives in the summer with a mist or other scenarios.
yep, I’ve now waited seven weeks since receiving my VIN, first it was train delays out of Texas, and now the wiper motor recall, supposed to finally get the truck June 26, crossing my fingers.
I like the different speeds, but the auto is buggy like on our Y. Don't use it. Love the way it works overall. Have you noticed the reverse guide lines disappear if you move faster than a turtle in reverse? That's an aggravating problem.
Have you guys considered adding RainX to the windshield? I use it on my car and really like it, might be an interesting thing to compare.. Edit: heard mention of RainX after watching further.
It amazes me how so many Tesla drivers never seem to use the voice command feature and want buttons. Tsk tsk stop resisting the future. When Tesla puts Grok into their cars the buttons might go away completely... leaving screen touch only as a backup. I'm hoping the car will always be listening for a command. "Grok wipers on level 2" would get done what you want. I'm actually surprised that even right now we have to push a button in a Tesla instead of using a keyword to get the VC system to listen. Tesla should have implemented this already. I know that it now has to use the internet connection to figure out what commands you said. Onboarding Grok might get around that?? At least Tesla should hardcode some commands given a specific syntax so we don't have to worry about being in cell range to get basic commands to work. Come on Tesla you know it's coming... why not roll out its precursor now "Hey Tesla" or "Hey " to get everyone used to it??
Here I notice the auto wipers are not sensitive enough to get wiping, and then once they start their control hunts from too fast to too slow. (need to lower the setpoint to start widen the proportional band).
I want a feature request for the wash mode. The way it works now, the washer fluid spends near zero time on the windshield. So it can't dissolve anything significant. Tesla needs to add a soak mode to the washer, where it sprays on the way down and leaves it there for a few seconds, or until you ask for it to be wiped away. That way it can stay wet and dissolve bugs or other crud during dry times. The wash mode is nearly useless as it is. Give it a try with some water soloable glass paint some time, or park under some pigeon roosts some evening. ;)
This will likely be redesigned for Gen 2 CT imo (possibly closer to resemble the Semi, where the single wiper motor is centrally located on the lower portion of the windshield (w/the L shaped arm resting on the passenger side) 🤔.
That won't work for this screen as it would leave too much uncleared screen in the upper corners, so it would not comply with current safety regulations. In the Semi the driver is central and also does not need to see through the upper screen corners probably ever.
Hi Z & J, I live in California and we haven't had much rain (none since I bought the CT). But I had to ask Tesla to replace my windshield wiper blade because it was leaving a trail of marks in the center of the windshield when I used it. Anyone else had similar issue?
The replacement blade is obviously only available from Tesla. My question is: Is it a silicon wiper blade? These kinds of blades are WAY better than the standard blade materials.
While Rain-X does help rain water to blow off the screen while driving, it does have one downfall. In cities, or areas where there are lots of lights at night, the rain water beads create significant glare and in light rain can even make the screen impossible to see through. I used Rain-X on my rally cars where it helped removed the muck as well as the water, but will never use it again on my road cars that get driven at night in lighted areas. So, it's great in the country but horrible in town at night.
You just have to go sufficiently fast. Small airplanes do not have windshield wipers. The air will push the rain off the windshield.😉 The windshield wiper on the CT seems fine. Contrary to reports it works fine for the passenger as well. work. I like the one wiper - it is a more calm than two wipers.
Future Cybertruck owner, it looks like it might be better if it went side to side. It would not have that rain left at the bottom of the window. My wife, who normally is the passenger noticed the amount of window that did not get wiped when we watched them driving it around in the mud and dirt.
@@usa-ev visually I see it still vertically on the drivers side, it would move side to side as the arm telescopes out and then retracts back. Something like that.
@@fancycavegaming620 And what should be different in rain besides that the roads become much more slippery? It all depends on your tires. Tesla recommends Pirelli. Sound good. Currently i do not find any 285/65 R20 in Europe.
This is not such a stupid topic. I I drive multiple work vehicles numerous hours a week, my wife has a Toyota, we have a chevy Bolt, and Model y in the picture. Every time I get into a car these days I have to think twice about the wiper functions. Nobody is 100% intuitive in my world. This was good info though specific to the CT regarding the effectiveness of the giga-wipe.
You can add an icon to the toolbar for wipers. Even though I am very familiar and use the button on the wheel, I like having a permanent button on the toolbar.
Make sure water is not getting into the body where the wiper motor arms protrude through the body to attach to the arm, another youtuber has noticed that water leaks through that area of the body and down under the frunk housing.
Time for some rainX to treat the windows so water beads off with the slightest of wind. My 2014 220,000 mile Tundra has been treated quite a bit and water just beads off and I rarely use the wipers unless it pours...............
In Canada 🇨🇦 I find Auto to be too fast - typically set to 2/3 on average rainy days - plus on Model 3 & Model Y tends to be a great target for any vehicle in front to deposit road water from tires onto windshield. Prob a lot to do with the aerodynamic shape of the car. Tesla needs to focus on the software for the wiper system - make its speed variable ( adjustable ) in finer steps so that it can be linked to a drivers profile. Cheers
Hopefully we can see a video of the blade and windshield in action a a day with pouring. It seems that if there were a lot of rain, the rain that was held on the bottom of the blade would quickly streak up, as the blade wipes up. It would cause blurriness streaks on the bottom until the blade returns back down. This would be very annoying to see while driving.
Vancouver Canada here (think Seattle). We have 200 kinds of drizzle. I wanted MORE tactile controls on the stalks. My Dodge Grand was better in this one way: its right stalk had about 10 clicks of intermittent to choose from. Steve Jobs made the same mistake with Apple products: over-simplification. I wouldn't want a car from any brand other than Tesla. I have a 2019 Model 3. But I honestly don't think I want one of the updated models without stalks.

I live in France and the rain we get is wet.
I live in the US and the rain we get here is, usually, soaking wet... 🤔
The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain.
In FRANCE is it bottled , carbonated rain ? 😂
@@canadianrcpilot9048 I don't know if it's carbonated, i only tested it to see if it was wet or not.
In UK it rains cat and dogs!!!
Maybe try with an application of RainX I live in southern Louisiana and we get over 60 inches a year and it makes all the difference.
A small amount of glass polish and then a good glass sealer, you won’t need the wiper at all.
I agree about the Rain-X. I always use Rain-X on my vehicles however Tesla specifically says not to in the cybertruck manual
@@jdreynolds29I imagine that is for the cameras, can just not use in that area.
I'm a big fan of RainX and use the RainX wiper fluid. Please test with that on the windshield.
How’d you 2 *not* know about Rain-X??
Perfect on that huge glass.
Now You Know!

that’s exactly why I clicked on the video. My cyberbeast is being held from delivery because of the wiper motor replacement requirement.
Wait, is he trying to grow and twirl his mustache 🤔
In his other life,he's a Pirate!
I kept trying to wipe my screen off.😅
You can control the wiper by voice commands as well, like „turn wiper to level 4“ etc.
Or just „wiper to level 4“
or „wiper off“.
im worried about the snow here in Canada
Zack has the Popeye left arm after holding that camera for two hours, funny
6:38 Auto for me in NJ seems way too fast. Usually, I just have it set on one or I’m pressing the button myself when I need it.
I would be curious as to what the wipers would do with using RainX on the windshield? I use that here in Maine and it works really well. And no I don't have the cyber truck just a regular windshield.

I remember when this was an issue in design...glad they got it woking.
What is the mileage per KWH?
Are these blades "special" from Tesla only, or do they use a stock blade for a big semi?
can you just verbally ask it to wipe.
Yes. You can verbally set the speed and turn it off too
Verbal Jousting Stick!
Thank you, I can't believe Zack and Jessie didn't mention that.
Is it compatible with Rain-X?
You two are like the Adam and Jamie of Tesla content. Mythbusters vibes
I'm not in the market for a Cybertruck. But I still love your content.
I find the wiper a little aggressive for my liking (I've had mine for almost a month). But then, I do prefer to do some solid RainX and use wipers sparingly.
Waiting patiently for Actual Super Smart Wipers (ASS Wipers).
🤣
It never rains in California
But girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours.
Auto is too much omg unless your in downpour ! We don’t get that much rain in Colorado but when we do AUTO! lol my leaf can only do so much!
Great learning experience. It can rain hard here in Australia so good to know if you don't have to use them that often. Just have to wait for our trucks to arrive in RHD. Keep smiling everyone
it is difficult to ascertain from video so I ask, is the windscreen an arc like it should be?? So it sheds water both ways as you move.
Yes
Mercedes had a Single Wiper in 90s and 2000s - it extended during it's travel in the corner. Wonder if Tesla could add something like this to the CyberWiper.
I think…window angle 📐 + rain-x + speed will be interesting 🧐
When Grok is available, will you be able to just tell it to turn on wipers/radio/lights, etc?
You can already do that.
Hey Jessie, I’ve been watching you guys since 2019 ish you guys are great. Im sure this is crossing the line, but it’s coming from love. I’ve seen you progressively get heavier and heavier, and I hope you can do some research on the endocrine system, diet and weightlifting
Just want to see you guys stay healthy
Only with Tesla fans could you post a nearly 15 minute video about a windshield wiper people will actually watch 😅

That stuff may work OK in English. Any other language, not so much.
@@ABa-os6wm Good point. I've heard it may work well in China?
Here I notice the auto wipers are not sensitive enough to get wiping, and then once they start their control hunts from too fast to too slow. (need to lower the setpoint to start widen the proportional band).
it is easy to use and works ok in auto, just me…
Best place to test auto wiping for Tesla would be the rainy state, WA State.
I get purple rain where i live. What are you guys smoking today
This windshield wiper speed select also works on other Teslas (like my 2018 model 3). Just push the end of the stalk.
I want a feature request for the wash mode.
The way it works now, the washer fluid spends near zero time on the windshield. So it can't dissolve anything significant.

There's no need to redesign something that works perfectly well
The rain "sensor" feels ok since Version 2024.14
RAIN-X! Can y’all do another video with the OG rain-x?
rain x is great for all windshields. i do front and back and sides windows on all my cars, model x owner
Hi Z & J, I live in California and we haven't had much rain (none since I bought the CT). But I had to ask Tesla to replace my windshield wiper blade because it was leaving a trail of marks in the center of the windshield when I used it. Anyone else had similar issue?
How much to replace the blade.
When I was in New Zealand you could just buy the rubber insert like hear 60 year ago.
I would just use rainx No windshield wipers needed.
Hi, from Portland Oregon where we are known for rain. Though truthfully, Seattle gets way more.
The replacement blade is obviously only available from Tesla. My question is: Is it a silicon wiper blade? These kinds of blades are WAY better than the standard blade materials.

So, it's great in the country but horrible in town at night.
why not use verbal command?
So don't most SUVs have one wiper on the rear window? What's the big deal? My 1977 VW Scirocco had only one wiper.
You just have to go sufficiently fast. Small airplanes do not have windshield wipers. The air will push the rain off the windshield.😉
The windshield wiper on the CT seems fine. Contrary to reports it works fine for the passenger as well.
work. I like the one wiper - it is a more calm than two wipers.
Thank you. Answered my questions. Still don't see anything that would discourage me from buying one. So I will keep on saving.
Auto my choice seems to be just right although I read in the comments you can verbally tell the wiper to come on.
I always suggest ceramic coating the glass almost no wiper is required and amazing clear view for any car in the world
Future Cybertruck owner, it looks like it might be better if it went side to side. It would not have that rain left at the bottom of the window. My wife, who normally is the passenger noticed the amount of window that did not get wiped when we watched them driving it around in the mud and dirt.
One more reason for wife to drive herself.
Sure, but how?
@@usa-ev visually I see it still vertically on the drivers side, it would move side to side as the arm telescopes out and then retracts back. Something like that.
"Tesla takes a little time to tune their wipers?" I've had my m3 for 5 years and AUTO is still basically insane.
I want to know how it does in wet snow & sleet. Is it heated? I'm more concerned about freeze up more than initial cleaning.
any news on the WW motor recall? wondering where that is going.
Thanks! Best Cybertruck wiper review. Looking forward to a winter sequel 🙏
You can apply Rain X to the cameras also!
Drive north
I wonder how well it holds the road at speed in those conditions, say in a panic swerve.
The windshield wiper holds a road?
@@wolfgangpreier9160 I'm asking about vehicle stability in the rain.
@@fancycavegaming620 And what should be different in rain besides that the roads become much more slippery?
It all depends on your tires. Tesla recommends Pirelli. Sound good. Currently i do not find any 285/65 R20 in Europe.
Good Job ! Have you decided on Wheel covers or Caps & Lug nut covers
Nice video! Was hoping for something cool from CT, but this seems passable at least for rain.
Why are you saying windscreen, you're American and you're in America we say windshield
New England...? 🤔

I see how this is the best way but the water will always be at the bottom ready to come back up that giant window.
Now I know
Fun vid .. thanks
Very good wiper review! Important stuff.
"I love how you don't have to use the menu" 🤦🤦♂🤦♀
You can add an icon to the toolbar for wipers. Even though I am very familiar and use the button on the wheel, I like having a permanent button on the toolbar.
Does cybertruck have matrix led?
I rarely use my wipers with a good application of rain repellent. Difference of night and day and much safer.
You should try putting C6 Hydro Glass Ceramic Coating. This will make water fly off the windshield.
Just tell folks it is well endowed.
Auto goes too fast for my liking
A plastic stick is so expensive right smh. Give ppl stocks
Autowindshield wippers is one of the worse things of owning a Tesla… such an awesome product but when it rains its annoying
Get some Rain-X.
You guys the best job! Drive around in the rain in a CyberTruck and make videos! 👍👏🌹

South Florida. Torrential downpour is common.
Second that
South Texas here. We get all of our rain at once...
The Cybertruck seems to have the perfect windshield for RainX.
Go Zac & Jesse!! I enjoy and appreciate your great videos!! 😎👍
Time for some rainX to treat the windows so water beads off with the slightest of wind. My 2014 220,000 mile Tundra has been treated quite a bit and water just beads off and I rarely use the wipers unless it pours...............
Rain X is the answer, use voice command to control the wiper.
I would love to see what the wiper anchor/mounting point looks like.
I will worry about the AI takeover when Tesla gets the auto wipers to work.Fusion power will come before Tesla cracks that nut.
