I love the Bosch wipers. Model Y has the wipers with nozzles, not sure if they make them for my car

Don't think so. There are tons of aftermarket accessories and goodies for a Tesla but mundane consumables like wiper blades not so much. I bought a set of blades direct from Tesla along with a cabin filter set.

$25 a blade for the Model Y from Tesla ($50 a pair)

Good news is, they also have Bosch Wiper blades on Amazon! Amazon confirms they fit Model Y 2020 thru 2023

Yeah, just saw that. "Ships in 3 to 7 months"

There are a bunch of other brands that they sell, I'll look through those as well. The Tesla wiper blades are pretty good and leave the window streak free, so even if I have to order them from Tesla it's no issue

Appreciate that. I don't anticipate needing new wiper blades until next year, but it's good to know I can get the Bosch wiper blades. Coincidentally while wipers are the current topic, a rainstorm hit Northern Cal yesterday. I set the wipers to Auto, and they worked this time!

I may be a penny pincher, but I have found cleaning my wiper blade rubber every time I wash the car then coating it with aero303, my wiper blades last 4-5 years.

Fisker Ocean Gets Worse Review Yet From Consumer Reports That Calls It Inexcusable

The publication described the Ocean it owns as poorly tuned and undercooked

"So far, our experience with the Ocean is like ordering pizza at a new, buzzy restaurant, only to get a pie with undercooked dough and no sauce because the tomatoes are still growing,” wrote CR. “The tantalizing promise of the final product is right there in front of us, but it’s quite unappealing in its current state."

Ouch 😳

My coworker actually drives the Karma by Fisker. It was in the shop for quite some not sure exactly why. He seems to like it.

Imagine you buy a car, and it drives really, really good. Awesome in fact. But you get these "glitches" that keep popping up. Like the HVAC stops working or only run cold. Or you get in the car and try and put it in gear but nothing. Or it suddenly goes into Turtle mode while you are in the left lane for no reason you can figure. That's a Fisker. It's basically their software. I experienced a few annoying glitches when I first got my Polestar, thankfully they fixed them quickly OTA.

So he loves the car because when it's working properly, it probably drives really well
