I don't own a Tesla, but when it automatically enables the wipers, does the UI on the touchscreen "adapt" to current conditions and bring the wiper speed controls to the top level so it's one touch away? Or does the driver still have to touch through N menus to get to it at all times? If so, that's a terrible driver experience. :-(

On the Model 3 (the car in this article), the wiper controls are on a 'card' that you can swipe across to bring up. When the wipers are activated, either automatically or manually by the stalk on the steering wheel, that also brings that 'card' to the front.

Model 3 owner -- when you press the quick wipe button on the left stock it brings up the wiper interface menu to adjust the wipe speed and the auto wipe button. It's very quick and only requires a short glance and one screen press.

One way to improve it would be after the left stocks quick wipe button is pressed, let us adjust the speed with the steering wheel control wheel with a volume based auditory click to indicate it's gone up or down. Although those are used for volume and speed if cruise or autopilot is enables so it would need to only stay in wiper speed adjust for a few seconds

Just as short as checking whether I got a text message?
