I'm in my second winter with my MX here in the mountains of Utah. We've had constant issues with our windshield wipers. When it rains, they don't clear the windshield. And the "rain-sensing" modes, where it's supposed to sense how much moisture is on the windshield and adjust the frequency accordingly, is a joke. Sometimes the windshield can be so wet that I can't see out of it at all, and it's not wiping. Other times, there's barely anything on the windshield, but the wipers are going at their fastest setting.
In snow and ice it's even worse. We had a big storm today, and my wife called me because she was driving the MX and could barely see outside the windshield. This is what the wipers and windshield looked like (just after wiping):
Yes, we are using the windshield wiper heater.
I took the car to service last year. They agreed that the wipers weren't working properly, and they replaced the mechanism and the blades. That seemed to help a little bit, for a little while. But it's as bad now as ever. It's gotten to the point where we don't feel comfortable driving the car in snowy/icy conditions—which is a lot of the winter season where we live!
The first step is to determine whether this is an issue with the MX in general (which I doubt, otherwise I'd have heard about it by now), or with our vehicle in particular. So I'm posting here to see if anyone else is having this problem?
Tesla Mobile Service is coming on Wednesday, so hoping to get to the bottom of it.
