My B-I-L tells me it’s supposed to go 40 miles on batteries before the ICE kicks in.

Hey, that's where all the glass is going. I knew it was going somewhere. That's where it's going. The more you rake the windshield, the more glass it needs. They're getting that glass from the side windows. Duh.
Do you think it will pass by all the Nissan Leaves with that Rake?
It'll Rake them up! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: June

I just thought of something: the wiper blades and arms on this thing, and every new super-windshield car, must be very long. They've gotta be pushing four feet long.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

You can bet it's like Mercedes; $500, and replaced at every service mandatory... June

Maybe it'll just be washer nozzles like our headlights.

Definitely will make tucking the blades under the hood a engineering challenge.
