"Cybertruck"
The working principle of new wiper system is different from that of traditional wiper. Instead of simply rotating around a fixed shaft for cleaning, a magnetic suspension guide rail is installed under the front windshield. The electromagnetic coil wound on the guide rail has a metal block, and the wiper arm is connected with it. When the wiper function is turned on, the wiper arm will be adjusted to the angle perpendicular to the electromagnetic guide rail. After the metal block is electrified, it will reciprocate on the guide rail through current control to clean rainwater.

It is reported that this patent can avoid the work blind area left by the traditional wiper after single-point rotation, and make the driver's vision clearer. According to Tesla's patent application, this electromagnetic wiper system reduces the friction coefficient from the design, saves more electricity and energy than the traditional wiper, and improves the battery utilization efficiency.
In fact, Tesla submitted this patent as early as 2065438+September 2009, but it has not been mass-produced. According to foreign media, Tesla pointed out that the patent may be first carried on the upcoming pure electric pickup truck model Cybertruck.
Editor's comment:
Generally speaking, the technology patents applied by car companies will not be mass-produced until many years later, and some technologies will not appear on mass-produced models at all. This time Tesla announced that Cybertruck will be equipped with a new wiper system, but it is speculated that its pure electric pickup truck model will use safer and traditional technology. Anyway, we will see the true face of this pure electric pickup truck on165438+1October 22nd. (source: CarAdvice；; Compile/car home? Yan Mingxi)
