The automatic wipers are famously bad because Tesla decided to save money on the sensor and try and detect rain with image processing instead. Even after many updates they're still not great. So it's perfectly possible to need to turn on the wipers manually in some situations but the physical button is by far the most convenient way to do that.

- marvin 6y agoThe wipers have 5 modes: Off, 1, 2, 3, Auto. Auto will keep wiping as long as it figures there's water on the windshield. If you want a different speed, you need to go into the touchscreen. If you want a single wipe, you can press the button on the steering wheel controls. This would also bring up the touchscreen menu for wiper speed directly, for a 1-touch change. Or 2-touch, if you count the steering wheel stalk button press.
