Take a good look at the environment when that’s happening I had a buddy who had a specific pattern on the wall in his garage and he kept making service appointments because the wipers would go on every time he went into the garage turns out the pattern on the wall trick the vehicle into thinking it was rain. He covered up the patterns on the wall, one day and pulled in, and it didn’t happen..From all the posts I've read here and elsewhere, about the only common trigger is that it happens in a Tesla.
For me, about the only place it still happens regularly is in one specific spot on the freeway on my commute home and only in the 3-4 right lanes: it doesn't do it if I am in the carpool or left lane (sometimes in the #2 lane, but not consistently).
I would LOVE to know what this can be attributed to!
It could be anything. I think it may have something to do with the type or the aim of headlights on the oncoming vehicles, but I could be way off.From all the posts I've read here and elsewhere, about the only common trigger is that it happens in a Tesla.

The light pattern there probably looks like rain to the camera. The only thing that can be tried that sometimes work is thorough cleaning of the glass in front of the cameras both inside and outside the glass. There could be dust or water marks that makes things worse.From all the posts I've read here and elsewhere, about the only common trigger is that it happens in a Tesla.

I think too much credit is given to "cleaning the glass." Assuming one is keeping their car relatively clean, there normally isn't enough to affect this. I have seen zero difference between when my car is dirty and when it has just been cleaned: and of late, I always "polish" in front of the camera with a lint-free cloth after a car wash.The only thing that can be tried that sometimes work is thorough cleaning of the glass in front of the cameras both inside and outside the glass.

There's been reported cases where cleaning those areas drastically improves performance.I think too much credit is given to "cleaning the glass."

And the likelihood of the INSIDE getting dirty is close to nil: that glass is in a protected (though not sealed) environment and unless the driver is a smoker, there's not a whole lot that can cause the inside of the windshield to get dirty in front of the camera.
Another way to handle it that I easily developed the muscle memory for this (so I don't need to look at the screen):My workaround is to engage Cruise Control then hold down the left scroll wheel to cause the Quick Actions menu to come up. The windshield wipers are on the list, if you can remember how many down the list it is you can get to it quickly without looking at it, and turn this annoyance off.
Huh? The wipers very much do reach and wipe where the cameras are on my car.Same issue here, just bought a Tesla Model Y, love the car but the auto wipers when I turn on cruise control is ridiculous. The wipers don't reach where the camera is anyway so that excuse is just silly. They should fix this - it's a bug. Even if it's by design, bad design is still a bug.

Well, according to your signature, you have a 3 and the post you are replying to specifically says they have a Y.Huh? The wipers very much do reach and wipe where the cameras are on my car.
When we purchased our x the same thing happened. We requested service and a mobile tech came out and fixed it and now it wipes across. It was a quick fix and I imagine if you put a service request in, they will adjust it for you.Same issue here, just bought a Tesla Model Y, love the car but the auto wipers when I turn on cruise control is ridiculous.

I don't see why the Model Y would be any different, the relative placement of the cameras vs windshield is largely the same, as well as the wipe pattern.Well, according to your signature, you have a 3 and the post you are replying to specifically says they have a Y.
Now, I don't know if the wipers don't reach the camera on the Y (TBH, I would be surprised if they didn't), but be mindful of the facts.
My M3 RWD did the same thing when it's rainy , even just a shower rain.They wipe every time I turn on CC or AP. The cameras are clean.... its a software problem I am pretty sure.
You don't have to push five times. Just keep the button pushed and selection will scroll to far left.Use the left scroll wheel and push left five times (and you can do more) to get to "off"
Thanks for that tip: that's MUCH better!You don't have to push five times. Just keep the button pushed and selection will scroll to far left.
So for those insisting that the windshield just needs cleaned, shouldn’t Tesla have ensured that this area was cleaned before we picked our brand new vehicle up?I think too much credit is given to "cleaning the glass."

Nope, especially not during quarter end rushes. The reps don't have time to do a very thorough prep of the vehicle. You are expected to check the vehicle and report any issues. If you are taking a truck delivery, the car is even just dropped off directly.So for those insisting that the windshield just needs cleaned, shouldn’t Tesla have ensured that this area was cleaned before we picked our brand new vehicle up?
I just put in a service request today after the fiasco driving home when my wipers were on Auto driving in heavy rain and then they just decided to stop working. Which left me blind traveling along a wet road at 50 miles an hour. I'm pretty pissed right now but the service appointment decided that I had to drive down to the service center an hour from here instead of the rep coming to me which I greatly prefer. I have tried calling the service center but I never get through to anyone I've waited over an hour on hold and finally given up. They're very nice when I actually go there but it's just a pain in the patootie. Honestly it would have been really easy to have an accident in those conditions and Tesla would have somehow blamed me anyway.When we purchased our x the same thing happened.

Are you saying the wipers didn't work at all even in manual mode? We all know the "auto" feature is crap at the moment. It's supposedly getting fixed with some new neural net Musk keeps talking about. As far as Autopilot goes, I find the new FSD far superior to standard Autopilot on the highway. All the phantom braking and most of the other weirdness near entrance ramps seems fixed.I just put in a service request today after the fiasco driving home when my wipers were on Auto driving in heavy rain and then they just decided to stop working.

Separate but related topic. I bought the car thinking that the autopilot would be far better than any of my ice or my previous plug-in hybrid car but in fact especially because of all the recent software updates, autopilot requires more work to have it on than just to drive myself like I did 20 years ago with an old Vega. The whole point of autopilot is not to have to sit there on the edge of your seat hovering and hyper watching everything the car is doing because it's going to suddenly veer off the road having some kind of inner freak out because they've removed the hardware that was needed to operate properly. To say the car is a disappointment is an understatement I feel like they've really gone off the track but I most of all think it should have basic safety protocol like Auto wipers that freaking work properly and don't shut off in the middle of a rainstorm traveling down the road at 50 miles an hour.
And if anyone's going to berate me for not knowing this or that or the other thing I mean I'll appreciate the information but these things shouldn't be so difficult to figure out especially when it comes down to basic human safety. Grrrr
