What is Tesla Car Wash Mode?
If you’re washing your Tesla by hand or taking it to an automated car wash, be sure to enable Tesla’s Car Wash Mode.
Car wash mode closes the windows, locks doors and trunks, turns off windshield wipers, turns off parking assist chimes, turns off sentry mode, and turns off climate mode.
Where to Find Car Wash Mode
On your Tesla screen, go to “Service” → “Car Wash Mode”
Tips for Automated Car Wash
If you are taking your Tesla to an Automated Car Wash, make sure that it is a touchless car wash.
This is because a regular automated car wash can scratch your paint, damage your mudflaps, and leave marks.
- Also, make sure to enable “Free roll,” which will keep your car in neutral.
Tips for Manually Washing Your Car
In addition to putting your car on “Car Wash mode,” you can also activate “Screen Clean Mode.” In this mode, the screen turns black, and you can clean your screen without accidentally pressing buttons.
I also created a Youtube video on How to Wash Your Car the Correct Way, that shows you how to wash your car to prevent any scratches or swirl marks, so be sure to check that out.
