Just had our wiper fall apart and break from being turned on... looks like we'll be out of action for a week or so unless someone has an old wiper blade lying around that they don't need anymore (anyone within an hour or so of Sevierville/Knoxville TN)?

I am in Jacksboro TN area and recently took delivery of nonFS Cybertruck. Don't have a wiper available but travel to Cincinnati regularly and happy to bring one to you if Cincinnati service has one....

I have both. Right after I bought my CT I noticed how anything you need from Tesla you have to order so I was planning a long trip in the mountains of Vermont and figured it would be nice to have a new wiper blade just in case. And although I haven't used it yet. It does look like I can change out the original with a replacement one so I have a used one if you still need it, I can mail it to you from New York if you like.

Thanks all, Tesla shipped over the weekend so it looks like we'll get one in a few days. Sure, earlier would have been ideal but in the end we just had to skip the tasks we were going to do with it over the weekend.

Was there any accelerated wear on your blade?
(I’m 13 months on my original blade and doesn’t need replaced yet. But I don’t have to use the wiper much - probably ~50% less use than average American.)

I don't know of any accelerated wear on it... the vehicle has 16000 miles on it, including probably 40 trips up the mountains in Colorado (so lots of use in snow season)... I went through a couple of gallons of wiper fluid.
The incident occured when the wiper was run in the dry, it just fell apart. Eventually Tesla came to replace it under warranty.
