> you should never need a touch screen for safety critical features like wipers.

I have Model S. The wipers are controlled by a traditional stalk on the left of the steering column. Is it different in other models?

We had a Model 3. You could do one spritz with a physical control, but then had to interact with the touchscreen.

Newer S and X models don't have stalks. There's rumors they'll drop the stalks on the Model 3 refresh.
