Intermittent Wiper Failure

[jlv1]

And it's an intermittent issue on the intermittent setting not working. That is, it wasn't working Monday, but last night it worked perfectly, and today it's not working again.

Interesting - I haven't gotten a wipe out of mine since the beginning. That's truly odd-

I have the same issue on a 2016 Tesla Model S 75D.

Same issue 2016 Model x 90D.

Starting raining today. Wipers started to work. In fact, the auto wipers worked better than I have ever experienced. Maybe they were calibrating after getting the new update.

I have the same issue and intermittent doesn't work. I guess I need to wait for the update. I just spent like couple hours to figure it out... hopefully we get an update soon.

same here. not a wipe to be had on intermittent.

Same here 2017 MS intermittent wipers don’t work after last update.

Wait a few days and first rain. They will start working again. They may be going through a calibration process. But, the auto worked the best it ever has after.

I also have the intermittent wiper issue after the last update. Tesla service just confirmed (9/20/23) it is a firmware issue that will be addressed in future updates. I had contacted Tesla and set up an appointment. Here was their response:

Same issue here on my '17 S. I set up a service appointment and they wanted to have the car for multiple days (told me day of) and sent me an estimate north of $2000 to replace the wiper module and body control. I went to the appointment, canceled it at the service desk, and complained to the rep. They had a tech come out and tell me "that's how the software works now, and it can't turn off auto wipers, even though the switch says it's off". I've never had such a bad experience with Tesla before.

2018 Model X, non-functioning wipers on intermittent as well since update.

Can someone please explain what intermittent means/does? I think I may have the same issue. I would describe it as my wipers do not do anything on the two lowest settings.

P.S. I have a 2018 S 100D.

The two lowest settings are the "intermittent" settings, which means there is a pause between each pass of the wipers.

Also, 2019 Model S here with the same problem of both intermittent settings no longer working (first noticed it a month or two ago).

I have the same problem on my 2016 P100D MS. I had a mobile service visit last month and they changed the steering column (housing, electronics, stalks, etc) with no change. (and no charge for the service or part)! Interestingly, I subsequently found that the intermittent wipers work when the car is ‘backing itself out’ of the garage remotely and rarely when I am backing out of a parking space, but never in forward drive. This is certainly just an annoying firmware problem that will be fixed in a future update.

18 Model X on FSD Beta 11.4.7.2 / 2023.27.6
no intermittent wipers

 

[Aega]

Just got the upgrade to 11.4.7.2 (2023.27.6) yesterday, and intermittent wiping seems to be much better behaved on my '17 S.

 

[MurrayJimW]

Mine are still dead as a doornail (11.4.7.2)

 

[rcho8]

Maybe this only affects Model X but not Model S..

Nah- I’m in a ‘17S. Not sure where the hardware/software line is, but both seem affected.
