S7 Windshield Wipers area is terrible

I was extremely disappointed when I saw how large portion of the windshield screen the wipers failed to cover (see the picture). My old 2003 BMW 520d does way better than this by their implementation of an eccentric mounting of the wiper arm. Come on BYD! This is well known techniques since way back! As a passenger in my S7, I actually have to bend my head downwards to be able to look out the window at all. https://preview.redd.it/umo0axeee9jg1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da46ed7a56ceb07e721879c9e3b47f8ce642ed5b

I thought the rear wiper was bad on my Atto 3, but that's terrible!

Yes agreed it is terrible, coming from previous Volkswagen, Ford, Skoda and Honda models, this one here is not well executed, even the noise levels of the wiper motor actuator at the top end stop and return back is very jerky and noisy, could be smoother.

SL6 (Song Plus) is the same. If you spray it once it leaves a big chunk wet and only grabbing dust afterwards, gets all over the roof and doors, it's a mess to use it.

I think everything related to windshields/windows in general are the weak point of BYD and some other chinese cars, it feels like they are generations behind on that department. Rain sensors, fog/humidity control and automation, wiper design, etc.
