This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can't use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

And 9 cameras you have to consent to using. Total and utter crap.

I make sure to spread my butthole to each and every one of them while it starts up. It’s my morning ritual

You can be a true fartographer

I've been doing that for years. Guess I always knew these were coming

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Appropriate, since I always reflexively start doing the Hand Wash gesture every time I see one.

This is definitely not true. Teslas can absolutely go through a car wash. They do recommend touchless ones, but pretty much every manufacturer does.

There's gotta be some misinformation going around.

I rented a Mach-E recently and drove it a ton around Texas. I was warned at the desk not to take it in a car wash, but I also drove it through the craziest rainstorm my Yankee eyes have ever seen.

I think dragging them is the issue. They can get wet.
