Thanks. Kind of feel like an idiot, but its not entirely my fault! I searched "left hand drive" and Google's first result was LHT. Didn't think twice about it, thought I read LHD not LHT. Thanks Google!

- bosch Model 3 replacement wipers
I learned a lesson many years ago about trying to save a few dollars and not buy the OEM blades.
If you buy non-Tesla, they may not fit right, may need some adapters and just do not clear water the same.
Don’t be penny wise and dollar foolish, buy the Tesla ones and have peace of mind.

I think you are fine. I went into the Tesla site and put the ww in my cart, I have a 2021 also, no problems.
If you are unsure, and have a service center nearby, stop in and purchase them at the service center, they carry them in stock. In fact, a friend of mine did this and they service writer put them on the car for my friend.
My '21 wipers have been going strong for a year and a half, so I think I will stick with OEM for this particular part. Also using the same floor jack that they're repair people use as well as Prestone washer fluid.
I was surprised to see you stated you are in WA. My car is brand new and I am looking at buying Bosch Focus. I had them on my Nissan and were amazing. But it had the simple J hook and no adapter replacement needed. I think the OEM blades are (poop emoji).
Has anyone used the expensive Bosch Focus?
I wanted to install the Bosch Focus. I had them on my Nissan and were amazing in WA state. I went to buy them because my 2 month old wipers don’t wipe well in heavy rain but they don’t come with adapters, only the Icon OE does.
Someone else posted that the OE were branded as Bosch Icon. If that is true, I don’t see the point in less the OE is a cheaper version …like a Costco version.

Which model do you have? $28/pair? They are over $38 ea now! I did not see any adapters in the package today, so I don’t buy them. Do you have a Model 3?Installed the Bosch prue vision PUV 19 and PUV 26 from O'Reilly Auto Parts today as my OEM year old blades were beginning to streak and smear. $38 for both. I installed myself. Took less than 30 minutes. Probably could do next set in five
Thanks to whomever advised using included adapter number 6. Snap off the big adapter included on the new blades, and pop in adapter 66 onto the new blade. . All the other adapters included are not used. So far so good.

All three of our Model 3's are from 2018 and there is nothing "cheap" about the wiper blades.
Did Tesla start using different blades on later model years?

Yeah, both our Model 3's have the original blades that are over 5 years old, and the visibility is clear, even at freeway speeds. And we live in a rainy climate in the PNW so they get a lot of use.
I just purchased also. It’s a pair in one box and most store sell them separately. Best way is Oder online with the auto parts store you prefer and it will direct you to the store that has in in stock. If not, it may be another day to get from their warehouse.
It was like $25. Has a tiny gold printed Bosch

New trick for me -- thanks.
I was under the impression that modern blades have a silicon coating. Is this incorrect ?
What grit size do you use ?
