I need new wiper blades for my Model Y.

KwikFit (it’s leased through Tusker so this sort of stuff is done through KwikFit) weren’t able to source any that would fit. Tusker agreed I could thus get directly from Tesla and I’ve had them on order for a month or so now. I just followed up to be told latest estimate is mid-July! For wiper blades …

Any suggestions on a solution? Although Tusker should pick up the tab, I’d prefer to just buy them myself ASAP than keep waiting and be caught out by not being able to clean my windscreen properly.

Thanks

Edited to add: I know I can google them but KwikFit tried some non-Tesla ones that apparently should fit but they wouldn’t click into place. So does anyone have experience of which ones will actually fit rather than me relying on google.

When you say you’ve tried Tesla, did you try to order the part or book a service request to change them? The latter may be more successful, and if one service centre can’t do it, try a different one.

It’s frankly crazy, like the choice of tyres Tesla use which have been out of stock quite regularly

Wouldn’t the likes of ECB stock some that from Bosch or Valeo?

I tried to book a service request using the app.

I’m happy to get non Tesla ones as long as they fit. The ones KwikFit tried didn’t for some reason (wouldn’t click into place).
