2021 Tesla Model Y Wipers and Washers Owners Manual

To perform a single wipe with the windshield wipers, press and immediately release the button on the end of the turn signal stalk. You can access the wiper settings from the main Controls screen to adjust the speed of the wipers:

I – Intermittent, slow

II – Intermittent, fast

III – Continuous, slow

IIII – Continuous, fast

Auto: Model Y detects whether or not it is raining. When wipers are set to Auto and liquid is detected on the windshield, Model Y determines the optimal frequency at which they should wipe. If Model Y does not detect liquid on the windshield, the wipers do not wipe.

For one-touch access to the wipers, you can add the wiper control to My Apps. See Customizing My Apps.

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 Wiper Blades and Washer Jets.

Fully press and hold the button on the end of the turn signal stalk to spray washer fluid onto the windshield. While spraying the windshield, the wipers turn on. After releasing the button, the wipers perform two additional wipes then, depending on vehicle and environmental conditions, a third wipe a few seconds later.

Periodically top up washer fluid (see Topping Up Windshield Washer Fluid).
