Throughout my experience, I have owned a variety of vehicles equipped with automatic rain sensing wipers. While this feature proves useful during inconsistent rainfall, I have noticed that in the Tesla, the wipers tend to act erratically. It is quite bothersome when the auto wipers switch to a high speed even when there is only a light mist on the windshield, especially when the vehicle is stationary. When driving at high speeds, I rarely require continuous low speed wiping as the rain repellent on the glass, along with my PIAA wiper blades, effectively handle the rain. However, there are instances where a light mist from the spray of cars ahead does not roll off easily. I have attempted to utilize some of the pre-programmed intermittent settings, but they activate too frequently, causing inconvenience as I have to press the button each time. A rain sensor should accurately sense the amount of rain on the windshield and adjust the wipers accordingly. I acknowledge that each vehicle and driver may have unique preferences and requirements, making it impossible to have a one-size-fits-all solution. Therefore, I propose the inclusion of a sensitivity setting in AUTO mode, allowing individuals to adjust the wiper sensitivity based on their personal needs or specific scenarios. This setting could range from high sensitivity, which would resemble the current hyperactive state, to low sensitivity, which would ensure the wipers never exceed continuous low speed.
