wipers work fine in regular modes.

Lol. Good one!It would take more than a new windshield to make Tesla wipers work properly.
Not really. As soon as you engage cruise, they go back to auto.just don't use the 'Auto' function.

Lots of in and out of rain for me on Friday, the wipers worked well for me.Lol. Good one!
I am still in disbelief that Tesla cant get the wipers to work. The complete manual wipers on my first car, a 1996 VW Golf, were much less troublesome.
You must have got the prototype car.Lots of in and out of rain for me on Friday, the wipers worked well for me.
Nope, same thing for both of my cars.You must have got the prototype car.
I've driven several cars with auto wipers and none of them worked perfectly. The best was probably my Audi and even that I'd only give a B-/C+. The performance of my Tesla has varied widely with software updates, anyway from an F---- to a C+, maybe a B-. At best it was approaching the best of the mediocrity.Not really. As soon as you engage cruise, they go back to auto.
Plus: the available manual speeds are not enough, and switching between them is a pain in the rear.
I don't think that's the issue. I've ridden motorcycles without wipers for a million miles. I don't need wipers on with a little water. My wipers come on when it's sunny and clear, yet don't come on during a rainstorm. I've read lot's of people on this website who say the same thing. I think you're the exception if your's work properly.Some people just like to turn on their wipers when there is ANY water on them.
It changes with differing releases. In one of the recent ones, they did come on more than needed, especially with no rain, but that seems to have been remediated. So if that's what you are referring to then it doesn't count any more.I don't think that's the issue. I've ridden motorcycles without wipers for a million miles.

The worst part is that they set to auto when I engage cruise control. Why? Let me decide whether I want my wipers on auto or not. There's no connection with cruise control.
I'm on 2024.2.7 and my wipers still come on when it's sunny and clear. They still sometimes don't come on when it's raining. I'm glad that your's are working properly. Don't judge others' experiences by your own.When a new software release comes out, don't keep digging up old problems.
If they are coming on when it is clear, make sure that the area in front of the camera is squeaky clear. I recently was on a trip and they started coming on. Whereas the windshield appears clear, I cleaned it again, especially in front of the cameras and they didn't come on again. Remember, that's the one place you can't see from the inside.I'm on 2024.2.7 and my wipers still come on when it's sunny and clear. They still sometimes don't come on when it's raining.

For what it's worth, on TACC my car still slams on the brakes when a vehicle crosses the highway 300-400' in front of me. Also, brakes unexpectedly when in a curve in the road. So, I'm still doing most of the driving, keeping my hands on the wheel and my foot on the accelerator ready to drive through it's crazy moves. And, I still have sense enough to turn on the wipers if they're needed.
This is the source of some issues but recent software releases from Tesla have been notorious for dry wipes. I think even Elon commented on them.If they are coming on when it is clear, make sure that the area in front of the camera is squeaky clear. I recently was on a trip and they started coming on.

With TACC, you are running some older versions of the FSD software effectively. Today as my wife had the car driving, a car went all the way across the road and it was probably less then 200ft in front.
Thanks. I understand the purpose of it. But, no reasonable person would slam on the brakes in traffic because someone crosses 300' ahead at an intersection. I've just been lucky that someone hasn't crashed into my rear.With TACC, you are running some older versions of the FSD software effectively.

You pretty well understand that it is like a teenager learning how to drive, except that it hasn't been around long enough to be a teenager.Thanks. I understand the purpose of it.

Also, between home and the nearest city on a limited access freeway, on Autosteer my car will hit the brakes and stutter the steering at two well marked off ramps. It's like it gets confused and panics, like a teenager learning to drive.
Enough already, sorry for hijacking the thread.
Mine wipe once out of nowhere on a sunny day here and there. The when it starts raining lightly, they won't do anything until I am literally flying blind. Then, at some point, start wiping like I am in a downpour.Nope, same thing for both of my cars.
Some people just like to turn on their wipers when there is ANY water on them. That's not me, I can see much better around the drops than when wipers are streaking them across the windshield.

Finally got time to look your numbers in details. Your January to March & June data actually were similar to mine (around 310 Wh/mile) based on charges received by the car. My car kept the similar pattern where your consumption went way down (missing data points or from superchargers?). Just can not seen below 200 Wh/mile for Tesla Y on a monthly basis.Clu-tn, I don't have one figure for you but I do have it by month if you like:

I don't think it changes any of the observations here, but I thought all US factory Model Y's had NCA lithium batteries? From an earlier post I saw here...Did this hurt my battery? I watched this video from Jeff Dahn and he suggests (20 minutes into the video) a depth of discharge of only 25% daily for NMC batteries (which is about what I am doing.) Jeff indicated that every 500 hours they did a "check up cycle" from 100% to 0% during the 2.5 years of testing. I am not sure what that check up cycle equates to in miles, but I am guessing do a "check up cycle" every 17k miles is OK for the health of the battery.

Yep.you have a M3 with LFP batteries?
because that's the recommended usage of said battery.
In a MYLR or MYP based on Panasonic 2107, it's 20-80 for normal usage.
