Tesla Cybertruck buyers have been reporting delivery delays due to an issue with the vehicle’s windscreen wipers.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s<\/strong> Cybertruck is a stainless steel electric vehicle that costs between $57,390 (\u00a345,170) and $96,390 (\u00a375,870).<\/p>\n

Owners pre-order it directly from Tesla and then wait for it to be delivered.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, however, buyers waiting for their delivery were told the trucks were delayed by at least a week because of a problem with the windscreen wipers, according to posts on Reddit and a cybertruck owners forum.<\/p>\n

“I picked up on Tuesday in Florida<\/strong> and left and made it 20 miles and it started pouring raining,” posted Cnod, a buyer on the Cybertruck owners forum.<\/p>\n

“Had to sit in a Dunkin Donuts for three and a half hours and call Tesla roadside assistance because I couldn’t see.<\/p>\n

“They […] said it would be a few weeks before the wiper motor could be replaced.<\/p>\n

“It was super dangerous\u2026 [I] had to open my window and hang out the window to see until I could get to a safe place with the wiper not working.”<\/p>\n

“My wiper has not worked for a while was told to wait for few weeks for a wiper motor. Option was they keep the truck or I reschedule. Took the truck back.. crazy!” wrote B2B.<\/p>\n

“Was supposed to pick mine up on Sunday and I was told it’s late next week now,” said NSCyber.<\/p>\n

Tesla has not confirmed the delays, but users online posted about their frustrations.<\/p>\n

“My delivery was scheduled this morning and only received a message in the Tesla app at 3pm, no call, that my delivery was changed to 22 June due to a wiper issue\u2026” wrote Brant9 on the forum.<\/p>\n

“Glad I saw the message before driving 2 hrs this morning, but super disappointed after finding out at the ninth hour I’m waiting another week.”<\/p>\n

“I had mine rescheduled from today at 5.30pm to next week on Thursday,” posted mariebks on Reddit.<\/p>\n

“I am in a weird situation where my windshield wipers DO NOT work on my car at all,” wrote Dewabug.<\/p>\n

“I called my local service center as Houston is having REALLY bad storms lately so I can’t even drive the truck in the rain as I literally cannot see. They let me know they cannot service it even if they have the parts and that someone else is already there with same issue.”<\/p>\n

The Cybertruck’s high-tech specifications include glass that makes the cabin “as quiet as outer space”, the ability to tow 11,000lbs and a 340-mile range on a single charge, according to Tesla’s website.<\/p>\n

In April, Tesla recalled 3,878 Cybertrucks because of a problem with the vehicle’s accelerator pedal.<\/p>\n

Sky News has contacted Tesla for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
