Where is the windshield washer switch located in a Tesla?

The windshield washer switch is generally located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, the same as the wiper control stalk. Pulling it toward the driver will activate the windshield washer. Below is relevant information: 1. Brand Introduction: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company that manufactures and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage systems. Headquartered in Palo Alto, it was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The founders named the company "Tesla Motors" in honor of physicist Nikola Tesla. 2. Products: Tesla's first car model, the Roadster, was launched in 2008 as a two-door sports car. In 2012, Tesla released its second car model—the Model S, a four-door all-electric luxury sedan; the third car model was the Model X, a luxury all-electric SUV.
Tesla's windshield washer switch, I often tell friends, is hidden on the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. Just gently pull the stalk towards yourself, like in traditional cars, and the washer fluid sprays out. Remember, the position is quite obvious, don't confuse it with the left turn signal stalk. Sometimes if the stalk doesn't respond, it might be that the washer fluid reservoir is empty, or the system settings need a reset. Having driven a Tesla for several years, I've found that in winter you should add antifreeze washer fluid to avoid freezing and blocking the nozzles. Check the fluid level during regular maintenance, about once a month is enough. Don't get distracted while driving, safety first, especially on the highway.
When I first got my Tesla, I also had to figure out where this switch was. It's fixed on the stalk to the right of the steering wheel—just pull it to spray water. Initially, I kept searching through the screen menus, but the physical operation is actually more convenient. Make sure your windshield washer fluid reservoir isn't dry; if nothing sprays out, just add some washer fluid. It's best to practice while parked or at low speeds to avoid panic while driving. I also noticed that the wiper stalk can adjust speed, which pairs well with the spray function and is very handy in the rain. Get into the habit of regular maintenance, like cleaning the nozzles to prevent clogging.
