Hi guys as you know I recently purchase a 2016 Tesla Model X P100D. The first time we got rain, I new this Tesla Model X needed new wiper blades. The Tesla Model X wiper blades were making some serious noise and streaking. This is a sign that the Tesla Model X wiper blades needed to be replaced. Thus, my journey on Friday began.
So I went to my local Tesla Cool Springs dealership for windshield wipers. I didn’t think that would be an issue. I head to Cool Springs Tesla, walk to the desk and the tech says to put my name into the system before I can even talk to anyone. I do, but thats not my jam so I go grab a coffee and talk to the sales guy. He says yeah should not be an issue you can go to your auto store to get them.
So, I leave I go to my local Auto Parts store, where they come outside, remove the wiper, and confirm they don’t carry them. Special order from Tesla only due to the integrated water jets. So I head back to Cool Springs Tesla. I never did remove my name from their system, and proceed to wait about 20 more minutes. The guy Justin comes out, a nice kid who used to work with computers.
He says they can sell me them ($76 bucks making these the most expensive wiper blades I’ve ever purchased), but they can’t install them today too busy. I’m like I can barely see so yeah I’ll take them and figure it out saying I’m sure there is a video out there. Not one good clear KZitem video out there on this, so this is why I made this one.
It took me a few minutes to figure it out but changed them myself no issues. It would have taken the tech 5 mins to do it though (at $175 /hr).
While I love the car, Tesla Cool Springs is understaffed and experiencing some growing pains for sure. The sales guy I did speak with (who was nice but clueless on wipers for a Model X) said they delivered 33 cars that day alone. And had something like that amount or higher each day for the entire weekend. Let’s hope they open more locations this will only get much worse. He also mentioned people have been literally fighting over superchargers.
In this video, I discuss how to put your Tesla Model X into "wiper service mode". I discuss how to remove your Tesla Model X wiper blades, the tricks to release it, and the trips to install the Tesla Model X left and right wiper blade. Be careful and follow these steps closely so that you don't damage your Tesla Model X wiper blades.
Note, the Tesla Model X wiper blades are proprietary as of December 14th, 2019. No one else carries them and you will need to order them from Tesla. For me, I have a Tesla service center not that far away. The Tesla Model X wiper blades cost me $70 dollars plus tax. The good news is, you can install the Tesla Model X wiper blades yourself and I hope this video helps.
