How do you change the wiper blades on a Tesla Model 3?
Changing the windshield wiper blades on a Tesla Model 3 is straightforward. It is easier than in most cars, but the trick is that you will need to place the wipers in the service position by going to the Service menu on the touchscreen. Click the wiper service option, and the wipers will increase so you can lift the wiper arm.
Can you change the Tesla wipers yourself?
Yes, you can change Tesla windshield wipers yourself the way you change wipers on any car. The wiper hook is not the typical J hook. The same wipers used on Tesla are also used on many European vehicles such as BMW, Mini, and Mercedes-Benz. Those wipers can be purchased online from any auto parts supplier at a much lower cost than buying directly from Tesla.
How often should you change Tesla window wipers?
We recommend changing Tesla windshield wipers at least once a year or even more often if you live in extreme climates. Windshield wipers are made of rubber, which degrades when used frequently or in very hot or cold weather. A worn windshield wiper blade can limit visibility when it rains, leading to a car accident.
