Wiper Fluid - Both Wipers?

[ytfsic]

Hi,
I just got my 2021 LR Model 3 and I don't know if this is normal or not... Does wiper fluid usually come out of both wipers or just the one on the right? It looks like mine is only coming out of the right one and I don't know if that's normal.
Thanks for your help,
Jeremy

I get pretty uneven flow out of mine. You can check and make sure both hoses are plugged in, though.

Ok thanks. At least now I know I *should* get fluid from both!

On my new 2019 I didn’t see anything coming out of the left viper. Slow mo filmed it just to make sure. Turned out that fluid line wasn’t hooked up! (A tip from this site) just plugged it in and all good. Lift up the plastic cover under the hood and it’s obvious if that’s the problem.

That's exactly what it was. I'm grateful for your post because I wasn't too excited to go looking for it. Once you said what I needed to do I found it. I'm posting a picture below in case someone else gets this issue.

Does that mean it has been spraying fluid right over the emergency responder cutoff wiring?

Great !

It sure looked like it. Smart, right? What could possibly go wrong? ..

Smart comments aside, there probably isn't a good spot to spew fluid in an EV and the wires were protected at least.

Mine didn't work either and I just straightened everything out under the frunk hood and it worked after that. The hose was kinked slightly.
