Wipers and Washers
You can access wiper settings by touching the wiper button
on the
steering wheel.
•
Press the wiper button to wipe the windshield. If the
wiper is already operating at a wiper setting and is not set
to Auto, pressing the wiper button cycles through speeds.
Wiper speeds cycle as follows: I > II > III > IIII > III > II > I.
•
Press and hold the wiper button to spray washer fluid
onto the windshield. After releasing the button, the wipers
perform two additional wipes then, depending on vehicle
and environmental conditions, a third wipe a few seconds
later. You can also press and hold the wiper button for a
continuous spray of washer fluid—the wipers perform the
wipes after you release.
You can also access wiper settings by touching Controls >
Wipers.
Whenever you press the wiper button on the steering wheel,
the touchscreen displays the wiper menu, allowing you to
adjust wiper settings. Roll the left scroll button on the
steering wheel up or down to choose your desired setting.

Auto - Model Y detects precipitation and adjusts the
wiping speed and intensity. Pressing the wiper button
while the wipers are set to Auto temporarily increases
the sensitivity of the wipers.
NOTE: When you engage Autosteer the wipers are set
to
Auto. Although you can change the wiper setting
from Auto while using Autosteer, the wipers once
again default to Auto the next time you engage
Autosteer.
NOTE: The Auto setting is currently in BETA. If
uncertain about using the Auto setting while in the
BETA phase, Tesla recommends operating the wipers
manually, as necessary.
NOTE: You can also adjust the windshield wiper speed and
frequency using voice commands (see Voice Commands on
page 17).
Periodically check and clean the edge of the wiper blades. If
a blade is damaged, replace it immediately. For details on
checking and replacing wiper blades, see Windshield Wiper
Blades, Jets and Fluid on page 183.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the hood, ensure that the
hood is fully closed before activating the windshield
wipers.
CAUTION:
Remove ice from the windshield before
turning the wipers on. Ice has sharp edges that can
damage the rubber on the wiper blades.
CAUTION:
In harsh climates, ensure that the wiper
blades are not frozen or adhered to the windshield.
