  “Failures of the wiper motor shouldn’t come as a surprise,” said Sam Abuelsamid, an analyst at Guidehouse Insights.

  “This is the largest individual wiper ever used on a light duty vehicle with a 4-foot-long (1.22 meter) blade. That exceptional long lever arm puts a lot of stress on the motor and there have been a lot of anecdotal reports popping up since early in production of failures,” he said, adding that the overall build quality of the Cybertruck is “quite poor.”

  I seem to recall that Mercedes did it without incident.

    They probably spend more money on engineering and use better parts.

    It didn’t look like a big long weird floppy noodle though.

    I don’t think the Mercedes ones are 1.22m long.
