I'm not a fan of the removal of the stalks, but this deserves clarification.
On the 2017-2023 Model 3, there's a button at the end of the left stalk that immediately activates the wiper. It's basically a mist button, which is also common on most every other car I've driven. So you can always get the wipers to activate instantly without getting anywhere near the touchscreen.
On the 2024 Model 3, with no stalks, there is a steering wheel button on the right that serves the same function. Push for mist, hold for wash. Same as the button on the pre-2024 model.
Stalkless is probably still going to be a deal killer for me, but still.
- gosub100 3y agoThank you for clarifying. I just felt like sharing because I had no idea that windshield wipers could suddenly be as safety-critical as the steering or brakes, despite 24 years of accident-free driving. (Of course if it's raining, you need them, but every time I've driven in the rain there's still enough wiggle-room with partial visibility to pull over safely)
- m463 3y agowhat I hate is that stalks, even overloaded with too many functions, were in a specific place you could reach for and activate. the steering wheel buttons move depending on which way you are steering. maybe not a big deal when the radio volume is wrong when backing up. Critical when you need to use the horn when backing out of a parking space.
