If you’re a Tesla owner, it’s highly advised that you read at least the “Maintenance” section of the owner’s manual so that you know how to properly clean the vehicle and handle it in an emergency situation. Under the “Maintenance” section, Tesla describes the procedure for cleaning.
The first thing you need to know about washing your Tesla is that you need to enable “Car Wash Mode” before you begin. This will close the windows, lock the charge port and the doors, and disable the windshield wipers. Car Wash Mode can be found under “Service” in the “Controls” menu.
Primarily, Tesla recommends a gentle hand wash with cold or lukewarm, soapy water, with a rinse afterwards. The reasoning behind this wash strategy is that it is, generally, more gentle on the paint, and you’re bound to be more careful compared to something like an automatic car wash.
If hand washing your Tesla isn’t a possibility, Car Wash Mode can be used in conjunction with “Enable Free Roll,” which is accessible via the main display while Car Wash Mode is enabled and the brake pedal is depressed. Enable Free Roll lets the vehicle roll, as if it’s in neutral like a gas-powered car, for use in an automatic car wash.
Tesla also cautions against using automatic car washes that make use of brushes and very caustic detergents. Instead, use a touchless automatic car wash to avoid scratching paint and discoloring trim.
