I’ve only been in a Tesla with an Uber driver, so not paid attention to it… but no indicator or wiper control?

Jeez.

I’ve had a couple of cars with automatic wipers and they’re not that great… Having no controls would do my head in

That’s not true, though. At least in 2022 models the indicator is in the standard place, and wipers are controllable via a button and scroller.

  All older car models have all the physical controls, but sadly that’s not how it goes currently

No wiper controls, indicators are a touch control on the wheel…

  Which are really easy to use when you have to indicate you are going to leave the next exit on a roundabout, btw.
  
  So easy that Norway is banning the use of Teslas for driving schools.
