It is the most anticipated car of the last five years. Since Elon Musk presented it, with a broken window included, the delays and problems that have arisen around its design and production seemed to foreshadow the worst. However, five years later, the Cybertruck is real.
The replacement of the Cybertruck windshield wiper could cost as little as $165 for the arm and blade set, or $75 for the blade itself.
And if we have to replace the entire electrical and internal system of the windshield wipers, the figure almost reaches $2,000. Yes, you read that right, the price of a 125cc motorcycle.
Every Cybertruck news makes it clear that everything in it is going to be expensive
That’s what the famous Tesla insider, Nic Cruz Patane, says. He seems to have been browsing through Tesla’s parts catalog for the Cybertruck. The difference with the rest of the journalists is that he seems to have access to the prices of each part.
The complete windshield of the Cybertruck will also be replaceable, of course, and it will cost you a whopping $1,900, assuming these prices are accurate and assuming they are consumer prices rather than internal prices.
Meanwhile, the truck’s side windows, which are merely baseball-proof, should cost between $225 and $260 per glass.
With all this, what we can conclude is that any change or repair of the Cybertruck will cost a fortune. In some way, Elon Musk has to compensate for the losses he claims to have for each car sale.
Because, since its announcement, the car has been increasing its production cost every year. And right now, one unit costs almost 50% more than what they predicted in 2020. Elon Musk has a problem called Cybertruck.
