These are perfect for specific uses in NYC, and the attention and positive press.

It depends on the use case, there are many police activities that an EV for now is just not well suited for.

Any argument about how the attention and positive press doesn’t matter is negated by the very point that they wrote an article about it

AJT123, time to move on from this back and forth. You've talked about your concerns (off topic for this thread), now back on topic or don't post. New info only, not beating the same horse

Well, LA tried it, though in no way were they replacements.... MASSIVE fail.

$10,000,000 in tax dollars. Many/most didn't even accumulate more than couple thousand miles.

About the damn Cybertruck if we can get back to it, what does everyone think about the wiper?

I think it would be better if it were down all the time instead of vertical? I like that it's only one wiper.

Every play Quake Doom? They had a weapon called the BFG (Google it if you don't know what that stands for). Well I call the windshield wiper on the Cyber Truck BFW

Yes I have played Doom but not in years, lol. I'm glad they're still making them. I will google it.

Ahhh, one thing... that wiper WILL soak bystanders lol. That's one of the reasons Mercedes quit the mono-blade, it works like magic but slings water all over the place.

Obviously, anytime you have a big windshield the water's gonna fly.

We had the Dustbuster Olds Silhouette with a gigantic windscreen, it flew water all over the place too. The wipers came up inside and out.

I really wish MB never stopped the Monoblade. It is so effective it's crazy. It is so fast in just one sweep that it's hard to follow. I'm not trying to hit pedestrians of course but who cars if it flings some water.

I vaguely recall someone saying the wiper blade inflates with washer fluid and sprays not sure if this is true.

i saw munro/musk video and it showed the wiper doing a horrendously bad job of tryint o wipe light rain away (all kind of streaks and missed arc streams).

I wonder if you can get the Cyber truck wiper from Amazon. It would show up and my wife would say "what did you buy now?" 🤣
