I read a month or more ago that Tesla had realized they cheaped out on the wiper motor, it was too weak, it would inevitably burn out very quickly. This is NOT, as asserted in the article, a supplier quality issue - Tesla just ordered and installed motors far too wimpy for the oversized wiper.

When you guys have a life problem, I recommend a "containment hold!" (This is NOT my legal advice.)

I had assumed that if I had read a news article about it weeks ago then surely Tesla must have bene forced to reconsider, would at least have switched to installing an appropriate motor in the cars that hadn't left their showrooms yet. But I guess it seems not.
