This was still a clumsy solution since Tesla assigned the wheel&#8217;s rarely used tilt function to control wiper speed with awkward movement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">In the newest 2024.14.3 update, though, Tesla gives up on the tilting motion, and now the driver can control wiper speeds by scrolling the wheel up or down more logically. Or, one can go through the four Tesla wiper speed settings by pressing the control button.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">&#8220;When you press the wipers button to view wiper controls, you can now adjust wiper speed by moving the left scroll wheel up or down,&#8221; Tesla tips in the update changelog, and adds that &#8220;when you have the wipers set to I, II, III, or IIII, you can press the wipers button to cycle through speeds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">These are welcome changes while people wait for a real auto-wiper solution from Tesla. Hopefully, this small scroll wheel control change isn&#8217;t what Tesla meant when it said a fix will &#8220;go out soon&#8221; for how automatic wipers behave in Autopilot mode.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Tesla update 2024.14.3\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qVUZIs1xBa0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"c11244322\" class=\"ttcl_0 csc-default\">\n<div class=\"csc-header csc-header-n5\">\n<h3><em>Source(s)<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csc-textpic-text\">\n<p class=\"bodytext\"><a class=\"external-link-new-window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notateslaapp.com\/software-updates\/version\/2024.14.3\/release-notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NotATeslaApp<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c11244320\" class=\"ttcl_1 csc-frame csc-frame-invisible\">\n<div class=\"tx-nbc2fe-incontent-column\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Tesla Changes Windshield Wiper Speed Controls For The Better\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/cars\/tesla-changes-windshield-wiper-speed-controls-for-the-better\/#more-506\" aria-label=\"Read more about Tesla Changes Windshield Wiper Speed Controls For The Better\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cars"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=506"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":510,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/506\/revisions\/510"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
