    Wipers stop mid windshield on 2023.27.7 in heavy rain and no longer mandatory in FSD

    Help! This is a safety issue up here I. The Pacific Northwest. Has anyone else had this problem? What’s a fix: 1. I don’t know if it’s software or hardware but we have a 2018 M3P. With FSD 2023.27.7. Never had any wiper problems before. 2. Last week it started really raining. And pulling out I...

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    Hi folks, II noticed some unexpected behaviour today. I was driving on AP, and although it was raining, the windshield wipers remained off. When I checked, they were indeed "off", as opposed to in "auto" mode where they also might not do anything if the camera decides that there is not enough...

    2023.7.30 and Loss of Autowipers

    Since I received 2023.7.30, I've lost Autowiper functionality, and it's VERY annoying after all the years of Autowipers not working, then working poorly, then finally working reasonably well as the many firmware updates flowed out of Tesla. I've called the nationwide support number and have...

    v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) auto-wipers seem drastically worse

    Got v11.4.7 (2023.7.30) last night and, strangely, auto-wipers were awful in some rainstorms today. Clearly worse than 11.4.4. In moderate to heavy rain they barely wiped and I could could not see well. Obviously, I couldn't safely test this too much without hitting the single wipe button for...

    Windshield wiper automatically turn on.

    Getting used to new Model Y. I have noticed that wipers in AUTO mode works not good at all.... When there is a light rain, they performs the cleaning too often, on almost dry windshield with just a few drops, so I had to switch to manual mode. On my Volvo, I could adjust the sensitivity of the...

    Tesla Software Irritations

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and am hoping to be able to learn more about my Model Y and - in particular - some tips of optimal configuration of the software. Given I'm in Australia (Sydney), my experiences might be a little different from others, but I'd appreciate any thoughts people...

    auto wipers

    Hey guys! Quick question to see if anyone else has had this issue. 2016 X P90D. My car has had auto sensing wipers ever since the software came out a few years ago for it. I just recently went to have a cracked windshield replaced(YEAH!!!!) and also needed to replace the wiper blades. I...

    How to stop wipers

    Tesla Model 3, 2022, Software v. 2023.2.11 Sometimes the wipers, set to AUTO, start wiping with no apparent reason. They eventually stop, but how can I stop them promptly?

    Wiper and high beam issue

    2023 Model Y LR running 2022.44.30 Whenever cruise control is engaged the wipers will NOT shut off. Even when pressing the off button on the display they stay on. If I turn cruise control off then turn the wipers off they will then stay off. If I engage cruise again and if the wipers come on...

    Is it madness that wipers can't be controlled by the driver on cruise control or autopilot mode?

    I live in Canada. The snow is here and so is the salt and sand on the roads. The car gets filthy on every drive. There is no option to turn off auto wipers when my 2020 M3 is in cruise control or autopilot mode. The wipers kick on constantly streaking my windows. The only way to turn them off is...

    2022.24.8 and automatic wipers

    Received the 2022.24.8 update last weekend and in general, like the changes. Except for one. For some reason now, whenever basic cruise control is engaged the windshield wipers are forced to 'Auto'. It will not let the driver turn them off. This is a problem, as I had a ceramic coating...

    Can't turn off auto wipers or high beams? [on autopilot]

    What is Tesla doing with these updates. I'm driving a 2020 Model 3, built in late 2019. My car went from fine to a forced updated and factory reset. Now the last update made it so I can't turn off auto wipers unless I turn off autopilot? Wtf Tesla I drove throw a swarm of insects (I'm in...

    Auto high beams and auto wipers worse on 2022 than 2018

    I recently got my 2022 M3 after selling my 2018 M3. I feel like both the auto wipers and the auto high beams are dramatically worse in this car than the previous one. In the 2022, the high beams stay on way longer than I'm comfortable with, whereas I was always quite happy with how they were...
