Tesla has finally started selling replacement blades for the giant Cybertruck Gigawiper as the first units are now almost a year old and might need a swap.

After it began selling its Model 3 and Model Y at 0% APR interest financing without strings attached, Tesla is now doing the same for the items in its accessory and parts store.

The Tesla Shop has entered an agreement with Klarna to provide four equal monthly payments with zero interest rate on nearly anything in the store.

Thus, one can buy equally easily Tesla's $550 universal home charger for $137.50, as well as the new Cybertruck wiper blade arrival for $18.75 a month.

The single Gigawiper is a signature Cybertruck feature that owners had little recourse to replace but contact a Tesla service center. Now that Cybertrucks are proliferating on city streets, and it's been a year after the launch, Tesla populated its store with replacement Gigawipers as well.

Klarna's deferred payment services are well established across numerous web stores, and the fintech company has become so ubiquitous that it is now preparing to file for an IPO in the US.

Needless to say, if one wants to pay in more than four installments, they will be slapped with a sizeable interest as these things usually go, since Klarna has to make money somehow, but as long as they pay the item in four months, they will be charged zero interest rate.

For some of the most expensive items in the Tesla Shop, though, such as the $5,000 Model Y Clear Paint Protection Film, Klarna is charging an interest rate according to your credit rating from the get-go, as these loans are simply not offered in a version with four equal monthly payments.
