Tesla Cybertruck Introduces Aerodynamic Wiper Innovation

Tesla has unveiled a clever feature for its Cybertruck that enhances efficiency and aerodynamics through an innovative “Aero Mode” for the windshield wiper.

The feature involves rotating the Cybertruck’s massive windshield wiper vertically along the A-pillar at higher speeds. This adjustment, automatically activated under faster driving conditions, reduces drag, a crucial factor impacting the range of electric vehicles. The concept was shared by Wes Morrill, Cybertruck’s Lead Engineer, in a discussion with Matt Wallace.

Initially mistaken as a defect when observed by drivers, the wiper’s repositioning actually plays a key role in improving range efficiency and highlights Tesla’s focus on subtle innovations to enhance EV performance. Other Tesla models also showcase numerous hidden features aimed at efficient driving and combating drag.
