I would expect silicone is not common in any of them (added cost), but really, how would I know? And what would it do, even if I did use it? Make the paint fall off? Blow up the engine? Cause 3D View to actually start working on my ConnectedDrive app? Questions, questions....
I understand Tesla recommends against Rain X etc because they claim it causes “streaking, squeaking and smearing” on windshield.

I have used Rain X for several years and never experienced those issues but I don’t drive a Tesla.
