Feature |
Description |
Wiping Element Material |
Typically made of high-quality rubber or silicone for effective water and debris removal. |
Frame Design |
Often frameless (beam-style) for reduced wind lift and improved performance in various weather conditions. |
Durability |
Designed with durable materials to withstand the rigors of daily driving and exposure to environmental factors. |
Aerodynamic Design |
Aerodynamically shaped for reduced wind noise and better performance at high speeds. |
Even Pressure Distribution |
Ensures consistent pressure across the windshield for streak-free wiping. |
Integrated Washer System |
Equipped with a washer system to spray windshield washer fluid for effective cleaning. |
Heated Blades (Optional) |
Available as an option for some Tesla models, preventing ice and snow buildup in cold weather. |
Materials Used |
High-quality rubber, silicone, plastic, and sometimes Teflon coatings for improved performance and longevity. |
Aerodynamic Design: Many modern wiper blades, including those used by Tesla, feature an aerodynamic design. This design helps to reduce wind lift and noise when the wiper blades are in use, which can contribute to a quieter and more efficient driving experience.
Frameless Blades: Tesla and other manufacturers have often used frameless or beam-style wiper blades. These blades do not have the traditional metal frame that can sometimes collect snow and ice, leading to better performance in cold weather.
High-Quality Materials: Tesla typically uses high-quality materials for their wiper blades to ensure durability and long-lasting performance. This is important given the demands of daily driving and the need for reliable wiper blades in adverse weather conditions.
Even Pressure Distribution: Effective wiper blades should provide even pressure across the windshield to ensure a clear view. Tesla's wiper blades are designed to achieve this, minimizing streaking and ensuring that rain and other debris are effectively cleared from the windshield.
Integrated Washer System: Tesla vehicles often come with an integrated washer system that sprays windshield washer fluid through nozzles located near the wiper blades. This helps to remove dirt, bugs, and other debris from the windshield as the wiper blades move.
