That's all true and that's great they created FSD, but let's call it what it is, if you can make a car drive on its own, you should be able to make windshield wipers operate correctly at this point.
Totally. Again that doesn’t diminish all their tech accomplishments either though. And the wipers never bugged me because I rarely have ever used a car companies auto wipers. None have ever been good
I'm at 6K, used at wiper at least once a day, mine must be made of titanium.What is the source of this rumor?
I've used my wipers a lot over the last 1855 miles without noticing any problem. You say it's a safety issue? I will pray that no harm comes to me!
Honestly it's not a huge deal to me since I live in Socal, so wipers are rarely used. But every other car I've ever owned has worked perfectly when it comes to wipers and parking sensors too.
I agree that some go over the top and leaves an unrealistic vision of the company. Others swing the other way and are too harsh. I try to keep a level realistic view. I still consider them a new auto company in comparison to a Ford, GM, Nissan, Toyota…as while Tesla has been around since the 1980’s Tesla is still a newborn in comparison to those in business since the late 1800’s or even those born in the 1950’s. I also try to ignore those who are over the top on their complaints to the point you know they are not even an owner, especially when their anger/hatred is apparent. While i agree on NOT giving them a pass i do try to keep my complaints tempered and with little or nor emotion.
I paid mine at delivery and they didn’t ask for it, I just did it. As long as you connect ahead of time you can pay 5 mins before opening the door. I looked around mine and was satisfied whilst it was charging and then hit the pay button, it processed. 20 mins later I had a text telling me where to go to pick it up. The money didn’t disappear until the following day from my account. Super easy, why people pay in advance is beyond me.
the thing people need to understand with Tesla is this is his (Elons) business model.. it is the same with spacex. But, it has always been with Tesla. Get the product out, Fail fast, reengineer or replace and move on. My model S is a P85+ purchased 10.2 years ago, I had my share of service appointments but nothing in the last 4 years.. This is what warranty and extended warranty is for. If you aren’t prepared for this then a Tesla isn’t for you. I’m not defending them I’m saying it is what it is and you can either accept it or move to another brand.
I wouldn't base your opinion of modern Tesla on your experiences with a 2014 Model S. They did a good job on that car, all things considered, but they still had some learnings to do. Tesla never stops learning and I'm sure they have software designed in-house that make those learnings easy for any employee working on a new design to access and benefit from.
I don't think it will turn into a monster and attack you or anything like that.What is the source of this rumor?

Stopped by the SC earlier to ask about my delivery. Easier than calling or texting. Advisor stated an inspection needed to be done still but if there was an issue it is a 15-20 minute fix once they locate the issue and repair. I asked if it was the windshield motor and he stated it was the blade. ?That’s odd, I have a 16447 vin and my Monday delivery was delayed.
please keep me posted on your delivery.
If they’re replacing the motor with one with a new part number, I would have thought that they would be building them with the new motor ??
Haha, I went by there on Thursday when it arrived and was trying to get an earlier appointment and they let me fill out and sign the paperwork at the SC and said they would let me know Friday morning if I could pick it up sooner and they were able to bump me up to an earlier Monday morning slot and then I got the text about the delay followed by a phone call.Stopped by the SC earlier to ask about my delivery.

Arrived home, knocked out my trade in packet, then received a text stating delivery would be pushed to the end of the week. 6/21 now. Asked via text if they could tell me the issue, said it was being inspected still and couldn’t provide at this time.
I’ll take it all with a grain of salt, I’ve had plenty of Ford vehicles that had way worse issues from the factory. Not once in 25 years of owning a Ford did I do a vehicle exterior or interior inspection. Just got in and drove off lot. I’m with Tesla now based mainly on their mission, Elon’s outlook on life and the difference of dealing with a racket versus straight up vehicle purchase. Just my 2¢. Just as excited even with the delay.
