Windshield Wiper - Snow Mode Question

[NotMyTruck]

As we approach the potential first snow, is there a way to lift the wiper so it doesn’t freeze to the windshield?

The Tesla answer is, 'don't used it on a frozen windshield' and preheat the windshield first.

I don't know if this is handy for you, though.

Edit: I cannot find any instructions about lifting the wiper, and don't think you can remove the arm without opening the frunk.

Fair enough.

There’s no need. Just turn on defrost for a minute before using the wiper.

The defrost option is monstrous. Coolest I've used it is -15°C covered in a bit of night snow fall. It powered right through it before I got in the truck, I'd guestimate about 8 minutes.

Related, sorry for the hijack. I saw, somewhere, some suggestions for cold weather. One of which was to not fold the mirrors during parking. Do you guys know how I would turn off the automatic folding of the mirrors?
Bonus if I could only do that at home, where I’m not worried about someone side swiping the mirrors.

deselect it: Controls > Mirrors > Mirror Auto Fold.

Don’t forget the heated wiper function

Choose to heat the wiper blade by touching the windshield icon on the touchscreen.

Much appreciated.
