Wiper fluid runoff and streaks

[jmmowery]

When I wash the front window while driving, ALMOST ALL of the wiper fluid flows right onto the driver's side window and also onto the roof. And the fluid leaves major streaks when dry, more than I've ever noticed on any non-Tesla.

As my MY is fairly new, the wiper fluid I have is still the factory fluid and it is SOOO blue. It almost looks like blue ink. I notice the streaks even remaining blue.

Are all of these things normal? Is there anything I can do to reduce the streaks? They just make a clean car look like crap.


Cheers.

Yup the wipers do that. I used all the blue fluid in my driveway I could have stand it on the clean white car

All you can do is use the wipers and fluid when the car isn't moving, like at a red light. That blue stuff works really good, but it really shows up on a white car. It washes off easily though.

If you drive in snow and salted roads, cleaning the windshield while driving is necessary and you don't have the option to wait until the car isn't moving. Never had a car with this problem; poor design. Car should pause the spray so it is not dispensed when the wipers are near vertical.

You could just release the button??
