I'm not asking about my Model 3. I'm asking somebody to try it on their older Model Y because I'm also interested in Model Y. If I figured there was a chance of the Model Y wiper arm working on my Model 3 I would order it myself and try it.
Did you mean to say “that means that most likely the parts are interchangeable on Model Y”? Because you said 3 in your quote which is what I was replying to. Apologize if you meant Y. There’s no doubt they are interchangeable on Model Y. Like you say, if they weren’t then there’d be multiple revisions listed. There’s no risk there. They haven’t changed the design of the arm, just the spray system. But I don’t know when they changed over. Wife’s April 2021 SR Y has the extra nozzle.I see the same info when I go into the Model Y section, and I don't even have a Model Y. Everybody sees the same info, it's not VIN-specific. I was more interested in whether I could put the driver side wiper arm on my early 2018 Model 3. But it looks like Model 3 and Model Y have different wipers because the parts numbers are different and the jointed part seems to be longer on the Model 3. But since the catalog only shows one part number for the Model Y, that means that most likely the parts are interchangeable on Model 3. Otherwise you would see two lines of #2 or #3 with different part numbers and slightly different description. Only way to know for sure is for somebody to order part # 1490245-00-C from Tesla and try to put it on their older Model Y. And then let everybody else know
You are right, I meant to say Y instead of 3 when I mentioned interchangeable. If I had an older Y, I would purchase the new wiper arm kit for the driver side and swap it out. I like working on things in my car.
Wiper heaters?? I assume that is something in the windshield?
Are you referring to the wiper as the new part or the heater? I think you can just order the wiper arm through your local service center. You have to go in to pick up, the ones around here won’t mail anything. EPC says no vin required so I think anybody can order.
I was able to go in and find itl, but I couldn't find a way to add them to my cart or see the price. It could have just been my browser but is that usually how you see how much items cost?
You have to call or request through service part of App. They do not have a parts web store.
You know you can use any wash fluid you want, right?
My 2018 Model 3 got washer fluid everywhere, it's nothing new. The windshield doesn't have channels on the side to catch it and divert the fluid over the roof. Better aerodynamics, at the cost of getting windshield washer fluid in the cabin when the window is open.
Who the heck pays $60 to have someone wash their car?My 2018 Model 3 got washer fluid everywhere, it's nothing new.

My suggestion is not to pay $60 for a hand wash.
It’s not the washers. Just the fluid. The better question is why Tesla uses bright blue fluid that leaves residue.
If you mean job instead of wash then maybe that’s not a bad deal…
