It's worse than that, washing the car even in wash mode will damage the car because the fucking thing is made out ~~aluminum~~ stainless steel, you know, a mineral that corrodes if exposed to water long enough. It's mind boggling how badly designed this car is.
Edit: sorry, confused my minerals there.
jesus christ marie, they're alloys!
I'll pretend I understand there's a difference. :)
Breaking Bad. Macho man starts collecting minerals. His wife (Marie) refers to them as rocks. He ends up shouting something similar.
I think Macho man’s ends up shouting “snap in to a slim jim” but I could be wrong
There's a few things wrong here. First, it's made of steel, which is iron and not aluminum. Second, neither of those is as mineral. Third, aluminum has pretty good corrosion resistance in terms of metals.
None of that is to say that Tesla had any idea what they were doing when designing this monstrosity.
Neither of those are minerals.
