Vendor Washer fluid recommendations for summer

[CS@Tshields]

It’s been 3 months since I picked up my model y performance and now she’s thirsty for washer fluid. I live in miami so It’s always summer. What do you people use? Do you just go to the gas station and use run of mill or do you have one that you swear by? Also is adding rainex to the fluid recommended?

From the Model Y Owner’s Manual:

CAUTION
Do not add formulated washer fluids that contain water repellent or bug wash. These fluids can cause streaking, smearing, and squeaking or other noises.

I've used the green RainX for 20 years without issue, including two years in the MY.

I used Rainx and some other one with bug remover for my previous ICE car and it made my wiper streak and skip!

With some things, it depends on where you live. There was a good all season washer fluid recommended on another post and it's not available in California (of course. The lawmakers don't think it can get below a certain temperature in this state.)

I use 20/10 Windshield Wiper concentrate. Works much better than that horrid blue stuff that was originally used when I picked up my Model 3.

If you don't live in a frigid climate, plain water with a drop or two of squeegee soap is very cheap and effective. You can even add some cheap blue dye if it makes you happy
