In a rain situation the wind shield wiper is not operating when it’s pouring rain outside or even a drizzle. The wiper never goes off. It has to be manually turned on for the windshield wiper to actually work. Also, the lighting on the vehicle is very dim because the vehicle pretty much only operates off of two tiny fog lights, and in a low visibility area there’s not enough lighting to actually see the road and bicycle is biking on the roadways even in a dark situations, it’s the same thing not enough lighting to actually see anything on the road.

The adhesive that attaches the front windshield is separating from the front windshield also it appears the the actual windshield is delaminating. This is causing a hazzard to driving. Especially when the sun is coming right at the vehicle.

The wiper on the vehicle can not be controlled and set off manually. The auto wipe system repeatedly turns on and dry wipes the glass which reduces visibility for both the driver as well as the camera based safety systems. This is a software bug that has gone unfixed and unacknoledged by Tesla for over 6 months. This happens on every drive multiple times every day regardless of weather conditions.

Windshield wiper fell off, Tesla was unable to get me an appointment to repair for a month and stating it was wear and tear that made it fall off.

On [XXX], while driving highways for over 2 hours, the windshield became very dirty with dried debris from the road. I activated the window cleaning function on the steering wheel ( for the first time) and could not clear the dirt from the passenger side. I tried many times, but no result. The drivers side did clean acceptably. But not the passenger side! I could see arcs on the windshield where the wiper attempted to drop fluid. There were 8 or 9 such arcs left after the wiper withdrew. I did see cleaning solvent near the outside of the windshield. But I could not see out of the windshield. Reported same to Teslas customer svc and a service visit was scheduled for Jan. 8, 2025. By this time I had manually cleaned the window and verified the solvent well was full. Svc agent said, no one else complaining and system is operating 100% as designed. Experienced same situation again on [XXX]. Customer svc again scheduled an on site svc call for Feb 7 2025. I then saw on facebook, over 50 other people complaining of exactly the same problem. Most had tried svc and heard the same informational as I. Some included photos of the problem, some had their wiper or pump replaced, other e told that Tesla was planning an OTA update to cure the problem. I did a walk-in to svc on Jan 27,2025, and was told there is no guidance from corporate on this matter and that as far as they knew, corporate was not aware of the problem. I'll keep my appointment on Fri and hopefully I'll have some relief. I hate not seeing things coming from my right side!

The wiper will not clear the windshield it only smears and leaves streaks causing visibility issues. The automated wiping feature also does not operate properly and it will wildly wipe at high speed with nothing on the window and then do nothing when it is covered in water and road dirt. It will also dry wipe for no reason and smear what ever is on the window causing a visibility issue and then with the unfortunate combination of poor washer fluid output and poor blade contact it cannot clean the windshield properly. To be clear, it does not just take awhile to clean, it cannot clean the window regardless of how long you use the wiper wash function. It is a complete failure and I cannot get Tesla to address it. I made an appointment Dec. 6th for Jan. 31st (first available) and it was pushed, with no reason, to Feb 27th. After my current business trip, I will be discontinuing driving the vehicle if there is any chance of bad weather, it is that bad of an visibility issue and would be as unsafe as me driving without my glasses, looking through streaks and haze obscure important details I feel I cannot see the roadway good enough to operate the Cybertruck safely.

When any salt or other road debris is present on the windshield, the windshield wiper along with the washer fluid does not clean the windshield. Instead the windshield visibility is worse leading to low visibility. Overall I believe there are two flaws: 1. The wiper does not have enough downward force to keep enough contact with the windshield 2. When you attempt to clean using the washer fluid spray there is not enough washer fluid sprayed onto the windshield. Instead the amount is so low that it leads to additional streaking causing additional visibility issues. Due to this anytime I drive with salt on the roads I am at an increase risk to any issues that can occur during lower visibility while driving. Many others have also reported the same behavior [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving in a rain storm and the wiper started to malfunction. Would only clean half the windshield. Then shut off completely. Made a weird noise and started smoking in the front.Started working for on wipe then did a 360 on front end of the car. Wiper blade flew off and wiper arm Would not stay in position. Was able To get home but had to get the car towed to Tesla.

When driving in snow, the snow accumilates in front of the recessed headlights on top of the front bumper and makes night driving impossible.

The windshield wiper was replaced under recall with a faulty wiper that is actually more dangerous than the original and Tesla is known about this issue for months and haven't corrected it or stopped replacing working units with faulty ones. Please HELP with this issue before someone gets injured or killed by their negligence. I have made multiple attempts with Tesla service and tried all their contacts and am getting zero resolutions. Thanks

Took vehicle in for service they replace the wiper motor under warranty with the faulty one that is more unsafe than the previous one. And they refuse to fix it. Research shows they knew about this for months, yet continue to risk owners safety by replacing working units with faulty ones. Then have it taken or leave an attitude.

Contacted Tesla on June 25th for their June 19th recall (24V-456 and 24V-457) and they responded that my truck isn't (yet) on their list of recalled cars even though it's been 6 days since the voluntary recall happened. As Tesla has been the one to initiate the recall, I would have assumed my truck would instantly in the list. Appointments are booked out weeks in advance, and Tesla won't allow me to create an appointment now.

Windshield wiper failed without any warning. Doesn’t work and it’s raining
