Here is a picture of the Bosch wipers on the S, same model fits the Y. Except for the Bosch logo, you would be hard pressed to tell them apart from the Tesla wipers. 1/2 price of the Tesla wipers for me in Canada.
Just checked, they don't have anything for Model Y 2023 listed at all.Bosch Aerotwin 3397014621 Direct fit, no adapters to fumble with. Buy a couple of sets to offset shipping.

thats because most sites do a terrible job when it comes to fitment referance. If you buy Bosch Aerotwin part number 3397014621 they will fit even if the website you are on says they won't! Just put in 2021 as a model year and order them.
Here is the site I buy them from because I am located in Canada. As you can see, according to their site they do fit. The model Y has never changed the wiper blade size since its inception by the way so 2020 to 2024 ALL use the same part.
If that does not convince you then here is a link direct to Bosch with all the blades that fit the 2023 model Y. Scroll down to the bottom and read the number.

I got Michelin wipers from CostCo for the S. They fit, sort of. But I literally had to tape them to retain them. Google CostCo wipers and you won't find happy people. I'll go with Tesla wipers for the Y when the time comes.

Took me 20mins to figure out how to install back the driver side wiper. It needs to be on a certain angle.

Comes out to be around $51 shipped to my door here in Edmonton.
Super thank you!
guys, like I have always said, stick to Tesla wiper blades, I'm 18 months on my original blades, wow
they will fail one day and on that day I will order the Tesla wiper blade replacements, same price as the above Bosch

Bizarre for sure, whenever I turn them on I think, wow they are still perfectly wiping.
Maybe it has to do with the arm design and the perfect application of wiper fluid right at the blade vs legacy applying to the glass from a distance. Maybe this direct application at the blade aids in the longevity.

Where the car parked most of the time has a big impact on the life of the blades. Inside a enclosed garage vs outside in the elements.
Environmental differences, as well. Humidity, acid rain, pollutants, extreme temps, etc. play a role in wiper longevity.
My 52k wipers live in TX, with its extreme high temps, BUT...the car is home garaged (unconditioned garage) during daylight hours, probably 80% of the time.
bought aeroblades and refills as backup. refilling is easier on the 20" than the 26" one. i used 2 straight oring picks to release the tab to pull out the endcap. just put the oring pick in about 2mm on both sides of the edge. when refilling notch out the rubber and put the endcap on the rubber notch before pushing in to lock
