No, at least on my '22 MY, you can use one of the stalks to turn on wipers or spray washer fluid. There's also an auto mode that turns them on when rain is detected that works about 80% of the time for me. You can also use voice controls.

That’s okay, but still bad UI for a critical safety component. It used to be much harder too. In practice it is okay, but the only driver for this is design aesthetics, even after knowing it is highly disliked the way it is. Wiper controls were one of those little issues that really turned my partner off of her Model 3 over time.
Yeah -- technically you can make the stalk active the wiper a single time -- but to adjust the speed of the wipers you need to look at the touchscreen and (at least at the time I used it), select a fairly small target during a downpour. It drove me crazy in my 20 minute test drive since the auto wipers were failing miserably.
