The vehicle uses a camera\u2011based \u201cAuto Wiper\u201d system, and it consistently fails to activate fast enough during heavy rain, spray from passing trucks, or sudden visibility loss.  During moderate to heavy rain, the Auto wipers often stay on a slow or intermittent setting even when the windshield becomes fully covered with water. The system does not increase wiping speed quickly enough to maintain visibility. This results in several seconds where I cannot clearly see the road ahead.  This problem is made worse because the Model Y makes it difficult to quickly switch to manual wiper control while driving on the freeway. The driver must look down at the touchscreen and navigate menus to adjust wiper speed, which is unsafe at highway speeds. The delay between losing visibility and being able to manually increase the wiper speed creates a dangerous situation.  This behavior has occurred multiple times at highway speeds. When passing large trucks or encountering sudden water spray, the wipers do not react, and the windshield becomes momentarily opaque. This creates a serious risk of losing lane position or failing to see vehicles in front of me.  This is a safety hazard because:  1.The Auto wipers do not clear the windshield when visibility is urgently needed.  2.Manual override requires taking eyes off the road to use the touchscreen.  3.The delay in response can lead to loss of visibility for several seconds.  I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue, as it affects visibility and could lead to collisions, especially at highway speeds or during sudden heavy rain.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"TESLA","productModel":"MODEL Y","manufacturer":"Tesla, Inc."}]}]}
