I can control the weather with my wipers! 💪🏻

I noticed that the auto vipers (in "beta" forever) have never been the best, but this is a new discovery for me:


While driving on autopilot, if I turn the wipers off or to the "auto" setting, then "poor weather" is "detected" and AP switches off... When the vipers are in one of the full on modes, there is no more "poor weather" and AP switches on.

It seems like the wipers are quite dumb (I used to have a Mercedes earlier and the auto wipers were superior to Tesla's in every way).

The other thing that I found really dumb is that Tesla can't connect the dots about this simple sequence of events (used to happen on my earlier MY all the time):

1. You spray washer fluid on the windshield
2. The windshield in front of the front cameras now has water droplets
3. Tesla announces "poor weather detected" and quits AP.
