This is so strange, seems well beyond just personal preferences. I'm happy with the auto-wipers 99% of the time but I'm also not experiencing these things most of y'all seem to see. Curious.

I'm with you. I'm normally one that bitches about the auto wipers on ANY car as they all pretty much suck at some level. I've never had one actually work right... however, the Telsa version seem to be as close to perfect as I've had. It didn't start out that way for sure... the first few iterations were horrible, but I can honestly say I've had zero need to touch any of the controls for over the last year bar the occasional manual wipe from some extremely light road mist... but it wasn't something that I would have expected ANY auto wiper to pickup for sure...This is so strange, seems well beyond just personal preferences.

Working and working correctly are two different things. I see people do max speed wipes when it's drizzling in their cars (not Tesla). To me that's stupid and if my auto wipers did that, then it's not working correctly in my mind. The speed of the wipes has to correspond to the amount of water staying on the windshield.In my experience, all the automation works flawlessly. Wipers, lights, everything. All of those depend on the front camera. Perhaps some aren’t keeping them as clean as needed or there is some other issue?
it is good that owners are good at finding ways to avoid using features that don't work !Working and working correctly are two different things.

I personally don't use the auto wipers because I think they wipe too much. I also use RainX so I rarely need wipers anyway. This is why manual is good enough for me.
Really? What a butcher job. Who wants an ugly rain sensor stuck on the middle of the windshield with crumpled clear package tape?Instead of these hackers focusing on making products for an already fast car to go faster, they should work on something more useful like a 3rd party kit to adapt a proper rain sensor.
Since they know how to tap into the wiring, and the software, it should be child's play for them to make an aftermarket rain sensing wiper kit. Look at how this guy was able to wire in a sensor to his car.
In terms of changing controls, try learning the few voice commands needed to change the wipers. They work well, so I don't need them to change the controls.

Definitely. Great ideaI would like to be able to set the sensitivity of the Auto setting.
I like my Michelin Endurance XT silicone wipers; they seem quieter than the oem ones. 19” and 26”What company makes the best replacement wiper blades for my 2018 T3? Due to COVID it only has 16,000 miles, but time to replace the blades.
Same here. Prolly the same 3 rainfalls.Ive been stuck in the rain 3 times now since I picked up my car and the auto wipers have worked perfectly. No issues at this point!
Haha most likely yes. I hit my 4th rainfall on Friday (quite heavy actually) and the auto wiper function worked perfectly. The only time I needed to hit the manual wipe button was from some moisture from other cars spraying up onto the windshield. It wasn't actually raining at this point but I guess the sensors didn't pick it up. No biggie though.Same here. Prolly the same 3 rainfalls.
Wiper sensitivity higher/lower voice commandAfter many months of not bothering with the ‘auto’ wipe setting because it was so inaccurate, I tried it again on the strength of the comments above. It did seem to be working better. I will have to test it out further. Maybe Tesla made some quiet software improvements to it.
I would still like more adjustibility in the manual controls though, especially for low-end intermittent functionality.
