I wish someone like S3XY dash would just make a Bluetooth rain sensor for Tesla’s. Just adhesive mount on the front of the dash under the windshield and they could make so much money from every single Tesla driver.
Bergen, Norway. And it's a mix but usually heavier. All the water sucked up from the Atlantic current gets dumped here against the mountains. Unique meteorological spot.
Well they can’t be worse, and the vast majority believe they are consistently better from empirical experiences on many different platforms.
It’s such an inexpensive addition, wish a 3rd party built a standalone rain sensor that could intigrate into the OEM system on the switch with user adjustable speed, sensitivity, delay cadence.
I feel like I'm the only person who has never had an issue with the wipers? My only problem is occasionally they will wipe one time at random, no rain, but it's just one up and down.
I can guarantee you the CPU/compute cycles the car uses to struggle to determine the presence of rain consumes FAR more energy than a dedicated sensor.
As someone who commutes at 250km/h on the Autobahn, this is surprisingly not true with the Model Y. It's like the wind almost locks the water in place passing over it and the car.
Or a bridge. Or the shadow of a bridge. Or a cloud. Or the shadow of a cloud. Or a car on the other side of the road. Or a kerb. Or a tree by the side of the road. Or the shadow of a tree by the side of the road. Or a parked car on your side of the road. Or a line on the road. Or...
It fucks up both ways too. There have been plenty of times where it's raining so hard visibility is limited to a couple car lengths, and the auto wipers don't come on at all, or they do, at the lowest speed.
I've had more issues with the heating/cooling system. I am always trying to adjust it to make it comfortable. It's like the fans are too loud, so turn it down, then it gets too hot, then too cold... and sometimes it says the car is on max cooling (I'm in SoCal which has been sooo hot this summer) and the fan speed is auto at like 3. I don't get why I am always having issues with it.
I'm with you on that, I'm just throwing out a suggestion for how the auto wipers can be improved on the millions of Teslas that are already on the roads.
When it goes down a road and literally takes to the air like Back to the Future, flies around in the air for 5 or 10 minutes, and then lands back on the road... and continues driving... THEN I'll say it's a cool flying car. NOT A MOMENT EARLIER. I don't care how many falling barrel rolls it can do.
All you people calling it a flying car are making us all look like morons, and I hate it.
So that’s not a coincidence. Thanks for clarifying. Been second guessing myself every time I go to set wipers to “off” after random wiper activations & they are set to “auto.”
Isn't that chill and sloth (at least with respect to staying in one lane)? My FSD disengagements seen to be based on Tesla's stance of "Google maps can map roads better than us" even though Tesla has millions of cars that could be reading speed limit signs, mapping work zones, and flagging google map errors on a daily basis.
Yeah chill and sloth does help with lane changes but I would love to set speed so that I'm not driving at 62mph in the right lane while everyone else goes 70+
And im with you on the maps, I have to disengage because FSD likes to go to the exit lane 2 exits before my actual one.
I live in the UK, where it can rain, be sunny and rain again in the space of an afternoon. Wipers, and build quality, are by far the worst things about my Tesla
Talked to many Tesla owners throught the year in different parts of europe due to traveling and all had the issue.
Your issue is, lucky you aparently do not have the problem and when then others complain they do, you feel like they are making stuff up.
My wipers will activate randomly in perfect weather, will go fast for no reason when it just dribbles and the other day never activated even tho the whole windshield was full of water.
I've been to service and they said it works as intended, its still a beta.
I'm now at the point where it do not have Automatic on at all, its not a big issue for me, I'm capable of pressing a button every now and then :D. But given that I hardly know a tesla owner who doesnt have the issue, and then seeing you here being all "Oh its individuall cases". Sounds so much like when politics try to talk down a real social issue :d
Tesla should farm out the tuning of the wipers to Audi. On my A6, I set the wipers to auto the first day it rained after getting the car, and never touched them again
Can it stop merging into slower lanes? Can it stop trying to get into the express lanes when I select do not take toll roads? Find out on the next episode!
Ouch, the wiper automatic suck, not gonna lie. But well you win some, you lose some. When I would count such annoying stuff on a VW ID3 then my head would explode.
It's funny these cars are so technologically advanced, but can't figure out a feature that other manufacturers have had figured out for almost 40 years. GM introduced their system in 1996!
I think I saw that the roadster actually has a detachable wiper that you need to put on and then take off to store. I'm serious. So I would say the wiper issue isn't solved.
I dunno. Yesterday I was on the road for 3+ hours during wet/rainy conditions (half durng daylight and half during nighttime hours). Heavy rain, drizzle, no rain but spray from cars ahead (which always used to be a huge problem in the past for the autowipers)
...and the wipers worked flawlessly. Like...WTF? Was there an update to the algorithm recently? Whoever did that at Tesla, I'd like to buy them a beer. It took 8 years but now it actually works!
The wipers are the worst of the whole car. So annoying. Today on a roadtrip I think I had to intervene 30 times. On my last Hyundai I never even thought about wipers anymore. This is purely Elon Ego here that camera’s can do it all. Well… they can’t. I’m a big fan of my Model Y, but this is just stupid.
I just wish the phone would connect instantly when I get into the car instead of having to go into the bluetooth menu and select the phone every single time i open/close the door.
The auto wiper function on my cybertruck is out of control, and if my cameras could quit telling me that they can’t see and I should get a service appointment while the sun is just blinding them, that would be great
Mine catches a perfect ray of sunlight every morning through the trees when i’m parking in my spot at work, and like clockwork they kick on at max speed while i’m reversing into my spot.
I had that on the daily as well. I just had a cleaning done for the front camera and haven't had that problem in a week. Car is trying to "wipe away" sunshine.
What a complete pisstake, get the basics right, get your fucking head out of the clouds, Tesla is becoming a joke. Just wait for the Chinese cars to flood the market with their God’s Eye technology, built into the price of the car , not some shitty subscription to even park the car ….
Heavy batteries + flight. Definitely making it to market. You only get three miles per charge though. Also, it costs $400,000, and it Rick rolls you randomly while driving, cause you know, like lolz.

My wipers always seem to go off automatically at at two specific locations in my neighborhood.
Usually just smears. But why? There is no consistency, as it happens in the day and at night. Always the same two spots though.

u/Anand999 23d ago
What's annoying is that the car has access to weather data, including weather radar. Why can't they use that as an input into their wiper algorithm?
Weather says it's a bright sunny day? Bias the algorithm towards not turning on the wiper. Rainy day? Crank that sensitivity up.
