While I can see your point it's possible that Tesla might have skirted the rules a bit by adding a lever that does activate the windshield wipers but doesn't allow you to control their speed. I don't understand this choice either but it's easy to imagine that legislators didn't predict someone would try this either. Presumably the legally correct way would be to activate the windshield wipers when necessary and to pull over if you want to adjust their speed. Similar to how you're supposed to use GPS.

When you need to set a new destination in your GPS, you can wait until you get off at the next exit, but when you've started your trip in light rain and have your wipers on low, when it suddenly starts raining harder, I don't see how it's reasonable to expect a driver to wait until he can stop safely before he set's the wipers on "high".
