That's been around for quite a while. My car from 2006 does it.
- lanstin 5y agoMy Tesla model 3 has it, but like so much else new advanced tech it isn't yet as good as the human thing it was replacing. But it is less work.
- mulmen 5y agoMy 10 year old BMW does this and it works perfectly. It's much nicer than fiddling with my wipers constantly. Tesla isn't blazing any trails here, they are just stubborn and won't buy an off the shelf system that already works.
- smeej 5y agoMy dad's car was doing this at least as far back as 2003. He thought it was so cool. When he first got the car, he was like, "Watch this!" and squirted a whole water bottle at the windshield just to make them come on. Sixteen-year-old me recorded this as peak dorky daddom in my memory.
