2022 Model S Carwash

[Mr. Jetson]

1. Just wondering if I can use the Carwash mode while in Valet mode (don't want any of my settings changed by the carwash staff). 2. Also, is it necessary to manually take the car out of the Carwash mode to drive out of an auto wash or otherwise (staff may need instructions)? 3. Is there anything to instruct about cleaning of the interior suede-like material (e.g., alongside the windshield)?

Thanks!

Car wash mode is poorly implemented, and I would imagine it would cause more harm than good with the drivers at a car wash with the confusion the interface creates. The need for this video illustrates the issues:

Thanks. I don't find Carwash mode particularly confusing. However, I still have the questions about using it together with Valet mode.

You can just try it granted I can’t imagine much value using it for a car moving 1 mph in a car wash. I would highly doubt they would have any interest changing your settings.

You drive a Tesla on a regular basis. The people working at the car wash don't. It's hard enough for them to figure out how to use the door handles, and you want them to figure out the nuances of car wash mode on the fly?

Besides the seat settings, I agree that it's unlikely anyone at the carwash would deliberately change settings, but it can happen inadvertently.

@TLLMRRJ You missed the point. I wanted to know what settings to use to avoid them being changed when I hand the car over to be washed.
