Wipers frequently activate when there is no rain, operate at excessive speeds during light rain, and, most critically, fail to activate during active rainfall. These failures reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a motor vehicle crash.  Automatic wipers are forcibly enabled whenever cruise control or Autopilot is activated, regardless of weather conditions. This requires the driver to repeatedly adjust or disable the wipers while driving. Sudden transitions to maximum speed during light rain are distracting and divert attention from the roadway, increasing cognitive load during vehicle operation.  -- Attempted Remedies \u2022Replaced windshield wipers multiple times using different manufacturers \u2022Cleaned forward-facing camera/rain detection area \u2022Applied windshield water-repellent treatments \u2022Installed approximately 30\u201350 over-the-air software updates over four years \u2022Multiple inspections at Tesla-authorized service centers  Tesla has consistently stated the system is operating \u201cas intended,\u201d despite continued unsafe behavior.  -- Additional Notes There is no option to permanently disable automatic wipers when cruise control or Autopilot is enabled, nor any way to adjust sensitivity of the rain detection. Because the system repeatedly re-enables itself, the driver must divert attention from driving to manage wiper behavior, often multiple times during a single trip. This is especially hazardous when using standard cruise control without Autopilot, where full driver attention is required.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL 3","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
