Tesla Model Y Auto Wipers Run in Dry Weather but Stall in Heavy Rain, Owners Complain

At a glance

Tesla Model Y owners say the automatic wipers run when it is not raining, which spreads dust, and fail to work well in heavy rain. Many shared their experiences on the Reddit community.

Key points

1. 1

   The system uses cameras instead of rain sensors, so sudden light changes can trigger errors and fine mist is hard to detect.

2. 2

   Owners say the wipers do not move fast enough in heavy rain.

3. 3

   Controls use a steering wheel scroll button instead of a lever, which is inconvenient.

4. 4

   Some owners install a physical lever product behind the steering wheel to avoid the problem.

Why it matters

Tesla leads in self-driving technology, but this shows its basic safety and convenience features, like wipers, are not yet polished.
