How do I put a Tesla in neutral for a car wash?
My Tesla needs a bath, but I don’t really have time to give it a thorough detailing. I was thinking about taking it to an automatic car wash, but the only issue is that I have no idea how to put it in neutral. How can I put my Tesla in neutral to take it through the car wash?

Here’s how you put a Tesla in neutral for a car wash or any other reason:
- Locate the gear lever, which Tesla calls the drive stalk, which you use to shift.
- Assuming you’re in Drive when approaching the car wash, push the drive stalk up to the first position to shift into neutral. If Autosteer or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control are active, you’ll need to hold the drive stalk there for a second or two.
Once you’re done with the car wash, tap the lever up to go back into drive.
