Really....they are still terrible in my model y, I'm always having to intervene to adjust the speed...sometimes in auto I literally can't see out the screen, and nope, nothing...
Rear screens do get dirty, muddy, dusty, covered in bird excrement... it is nice to have a wiper with a wash function sometimes. It's not hard to admit that is it?So the issue then isn't that the car doesn't have one on the back it's that you park under a tree and use it to clear that off, not sure that was the intention behind it
Agree.
That's what I mean, everyone's situation is different. For some it works, for others it doesn't. However, regardless of my personal circumstances, having a rear wiper is still better than not, I personally feel. Reversing off the driveway on a dark, rainy evening, even with perfectly clean glass, is much easier in my partners hatch with a wiperSo the issue then isn't that the car doesn't have one on the back it's that you park under a tree and use it to clear that off, not sure that was the intention behind it
Almost every car review I've ever watched where the controls are either VW sliders or integrated into the display has them being criticised, the latter even more so.
I kept asking for updates and was told early December, then mid December, then December, then February then I had an official headed letter to say there was a parts delay in the factory and it would be January at the earliest. I think Easter, have they inferred that you may not get yours at all then? I have read that the factory was going to get wound down but that was in the summer. Fortunately my car is behaving itself for the time being so my desperation has subsided.

I definitely miss one on my Model Y. The rear view isn't great anyway, but road dirt builds and only washing the car gets rid of it - it'd definitely be helpful to have a rear wiper.
I drove the Y Long Range and New Model 3 Performance in September. To my surprise I didn't miss the theatre of an engine as much as I thought I would. I liked both but preferred the updated exterior, seating position and wrap around cabin and acoustic glass in the Model 3. If I didn't need the practicality of a cavernous boot and they were costing the same on the SS I would have picked the 3 over the Y.
If I need a thrill I'll jump back on to a sports bike
Very much agree, neither my two Audi's, A3 & A4 saloons, even the rear window of my series 2 gc doesn't. Unlike our fiesta which has to have the the rear wiper on all the time.It simply isn't my experience after years of owning saloon cars. The rear screen doesn't get dirty, dusty or whatever and consequently doesn't need one.
By contrast the rear screen of our hatchback does get dirty very quicky and wow, it has one fitted. It's almost like the manufacturers know what they are doing
