What? The OP asked how to turn off the automatic wipers and people replied with... instructions on how to turn them off and where to find said instructions.
Also, the option isn't exactly hidden. It's on the first screen that comes up when you bring up the controls menu, right with all the other controls for lighting.
I don't blame the OP for missing it, as I think we've all had times where we couldn't find things that are out in the open(I can't tell you how many times I've thought I lost the keys I was holding in my hand), but let's not pretend that one person asking where to find an option is a grand indictment of the UI.
Apparently the OP lives in the same alternate universe, since he came back and thanked everyone(and marked several posts as helpful).

Mine have worked flawlessly from the day they got activated. I wonder if it's a calibration issue. My AP2 has worked reasonably well too, compared to some of the complaints I've read about. My car experienced a few days of delay at the factory. My DS said the new hardware cars were taking longer because they were trying to get them dialed in. This was early December. My thinking is they couldn't afford to keep carefully dialing in each car, so they are letting service centers or software deal with it. Just my guess.

Let's be clear, the auto high beams are pure *sugar*, and it was not obvious how to disable them. Thankfully others on this thread are smarter than me and properly advised me. Shame on Tesla for releasing such a poorly-implemented feature, however. It should be a total embarrassment to all engineers who worked on it and to Elon himself.

Yes you have them and they work excellently. Elon should be proud of his auto dimming headlight engineers.
False. They do not work well at all. They are dangerous. Not sure what agenda people have in lying about this. Please test for yourself by taking a night test drive and report back to us.
As I mentioned earlier, I've done that and had them work perfectly. That said, I think we should all take a step back and realize that YMMV. Some people seem to be having a good experience with them, others seem to be having a really bad one. That could be due to lots of things(differing roads/conditions, differing expectations for what's "good", confirmation bias, etc). I don't think anybody here is just lying about their experience with it.

Sounds like fun. Any excuse to go for a drive. I'll film it with my iPhone. Hope I don't turn out to be wrong, but I will report back regardless.

Just to clarify, AP1 works great apparently, it is those of us with AP2 that are concerned. Mods is there someway to update title to include AP2? Thanks.
I am very impressed and happy with my AP2 auto high beams. They work very effectively. Do they always flip when I would have done so? No. But they put beams on high in my neighborhood when I never bothered to because (in manual mode on this and other cars) I very rarely used high beams...

Not so. I think they totally suck with AP1.
I still leave them on most of the time (AP1 here), but I think they are a bit overly aggressive in switching to low beam in situations where I don't think it's necessary (taillights >1 mile up the road, for instance).
You didn't see the "danger Moose crossing" signs? I need as much warning as possible to avoid slamming into a 1000 lb slab of beef. I don't want to check that 5 star safety rating!So you're the guy that was a mile behind me with his high beams on. Thanks a lot, man.
(Seriously, I only worry about it in the middle of nowhere NH where wild life is a big issue. I don't need another deer strike).
