What size wiper blades does a 2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 take?

26 inches on the driver's side and 19 inches on the passenger's side.

Can you fit a longer wiper blade on a 2017–2023 Tesla Model 3?

Going up one inch usually clears, but it is not free: an oversized driver's blade can overlap the passenger blade at the top of the sweep, or run off the edge of the glass and chatter. The factory sizes are chosen to sweep the maximum area without contact.

What wiper connector does a 2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 use?

Top-lock (push-button) connector, not J-hook. Use Wiper Service Mode (Controls > Service) to raise the arms.. Blade packaging lists the connector type. Match it or the adapter will not latch.
