Has anyone else experienced when you put the truck in gear the windshield wiper activates for one rotation?

Yes, it is just clearing the sensor real quick. Very common.

Thanks JakeJohn. Much appreciated.

The R1T does it on every start. Our MX does it occasionally. When I first noticed it - I couldn't help but wonder if it was a piece of 'shared code' between the two companies.

Let’s hope that during the winter months owner’s windshields are relatively clean, or there’s a chance of ‘scratching’ the windshield by initiating the wiper without moisture.

You can turn off the auto wipers right?

I don't use wipers as a norm. Been driving without using them for years by applying RainX. I hate the wiper movements and wiper windshield marks...

Same thing happens to me and a technician stated they are aware of it. Maybe recent update cleared it.

Mine only does it if you have the wipers set to auto. I turned mine to off for the dry season.

Mine only does it if the truck is parked in direct sunlight. At night, or in my garage, I don't get the wipe. If it's a "feature", as some folks are suggesting, Rivian should really reevaluate the need, and put out some sort of communication justifying it (update the OM, etc.) Because I agree, I hate dry wiper blades scraping across dust, dried bug guts and bird shit. And I leave my wipers in auto because I don't want to have to remember to turn them on and off - that's why automatic functionality exists to begin with. If it's a bug, I'd appreciate a fix soon before my glass is all etched to f**k.
