Twice as much fun
I knew this was a software bug when it started at the same time after the same software update to both my S and X.

Intermittent Wiper Failure
- Thread starter MurrayJimW
- Start date
Same experience here. Autowipers seemed to work this past weekend for me but standard intermittent wipers were not working. I believe there was one software update I had earlier in October which hasn't resolved the issues.
Thanks for the update. I hadn't gotten around to checking mine after the last software push. I hope you're wrong on a forthcoming fix. I can't imagine they'd just abandon us on a wiper issue. Something non-safety related, perhaps; but I'm still counting on them to make this particular flaw right.
Good point. This is definitely a safety issue. Shameful they haven't pioritized it though.

I really hoped 2023.27.7 would fix the intermittent wipers but no. Still have to turn them all the way on or push for a single wipe. I can understand auto-wipers being wonky since there is some small amount of coding involved but screwing up the function of a physical switch? COME ON, we only have like 10 physical switches in the entire car and you screw one of them up???? I think we should all set up service appts and clog up the system until they fix it. We are entering the raining season up here in the PNW.
I already did that months ago. They canceled it and said its a software issue and that a fix would eventually be released.
I got reply from Tesla today

Just saw a new update pushed to our 2016 Model S for today, no mention on if this is fixed, but it was still hitting us this past week, so we're going on 3-4 months of them having this broken. This sort of thing is why I won't be buying another Tesla, they break things, they know they break it and it's not a priority to fix it. I guess in California they don't need wipers so they just do not care.
We just got the update 23.27.12. Intermittent wipers STILL not working correctly. I live in western Oregon—this is essential equipment. We are getting increasingly frustrated that a $90,000 car (2020 Model X) doesn’t have the functionality of my old Subaru. We made a service appointment a couple of months ago, but like you folks report, they cancelled it, saying it was a software issue. My husband just made another service appointment. We’re going to poke at it as best we can in hopes that the issue gets escalated.
My intermittent wipers work intermittently. On the fastest setting, they’ll wipe a couple times, wait a couple minutes, wipe again. Its definitely not any sort of consistent interval.

I’m not sure what changed, but I had to drive a ways in varying rain conditions yesterday and they seemed to be working correctly. We’ll keep testing. Which is not difficult in western Oregon right now. We do have FSD, though I confess we never use it.
I had forgotten about the wheel size trick…thanks for the reminder.
