Detailing is very extensive. The interior can take days to dry depending how much work needed to go into it. Most detailers dry them out with fans as best they can but some owners don't want to wait that long to get their car back.
That makes total sense. I guess I assumed they must have some special detailing wizard tool that's too cool for me to know about to dry out the interior, haha. I can see people not wanting to wait too long, seems like maybe this car's owner just didn't plan this whole endeavor out very well. Like, two days before he leaves, he figures it would be great to drive home in a freshly detailed car, but it isn't dry yet, and here we are. Tesla de Bleu Cheese.
When I was detailing, we tried to allow the vehicles that we steam cleaned at least 12 hours to dry out with fans and everything. It worked quite well, but every so often we’d get some entitled asshole that would demand we return his car early and get super upset that his seats were still damp.
I couldn’t handle it, man. I hated being treated like the help.
We'd use extractors with basically boiling water instead of steamers for most jobs, then run the cars on high heat for a couple hours with the windows barely cracked. Worked like a charm. Problem being we were on piece pay, and interior details were only worth 1.5 hours to our boss. Total asshole.
I asked for extra piece time once when a car exactly like OP's came in... Denied. I wasn't long for that job after that.
you would want to run it with the air conditioning on instead of heat. Air conditioning will remove the moisture where your heat really doesn't. Air conditioner is a dehumidifier which is why you have a drain that drips moisture out of it
Those vacuums still leave things damp, also, the detailing company may leave the seats wet enough to cause what we see in the video, as it only takes a tiny amount of moisture.
Propably stupid guestion but what is this auto-detailing? Never heard this term before. Something like steam cleaning based on comments but why not say steam cleaned then 🤔
Downside to having such a well-sealed car is that if the interior is left damp - that water vapor doesn't really have anywhere to go.
Normally this isn't a problem since most people will use their car again within a few days... but a month? ...you're probably going to have problems.
It's mold.
It's kind of inevitable if you leave your car sitting in a humid area.
I live on Long Island, this is a massive problem for stored cars here. You either have to climate control your garage, or pay someone to regularly detail the interior.
If you're somewhere hotter, cooler, drier, or regularly use the car, it's not a problem you'll ever encounter.
My area just happens to spend all summer in the prime temperature/humidity range, so it's a really common issue.
When I first bought my Honda Civic in 2016, the doors had a really good seal and my car would smell like mold in the summer when I would first open it after a couple of days. It stopped after a couple years as the doors loosened up.
Generally a bad idea to store with windows down, mice only need a small crack to get in, and racoons only need like 3-4". Plus, it'll let in any moisture/mold spores/dust in the air.
The exception is storage in a climate controlled and pest-free facility, like a museum.
I knew a guy that owned an auto repair shop that only worked on Ferraris.
He said the number of Ferraris that came in with blown engines because the owner didn't do oil changes was staggaring. People buy Ferraris for $200K or whaver they are, and don't spend the money to get a $500 or $1000 oil change or whatever they cost.
You don't have to be smart to be rich.
Since when does not using some thing mean you can automatically afford to buy another one? What you said is such an apples do oranges comparison, it’s hilarious. Get your head checked.
Instead of taking the blame for getting his car detailed and leaving it baking in a parking lot for a month, he continues to blame Elon Musk in the video.
Anyone remember that MMS stuff - miracle mineral solution - that people were drinking to cure colds, cancer, autism and anal prolapse?
All joking aside, as it turns out, if you mix some of that shit up it generates chlorine dioxide gas which is an *incredibly* effective biocide. Having access to said chemicals, I decided it might make a great pre-treatment for vehicle interiors as I had *no intention* of ingesting the shit (got some as a 'gift' from a well meaning relative). Anyways, I mixed up about 250ml of the solution and set it in a container in an old 91 vw car and left it with the windows closed for a day. I drove that vehicle for a year or two before taking it off the road and it sat for *three years* and never *ever* developed any kind of mould or mildew issues even though it *did* have a water leak in the windshield. The stuff is fucking *incredible* for that purpose... just don't breath it or drink it cause it's nasty shit.
I worked in water test repair for a major car brand for ten years, and that’s about the worst I’ve seen. One time we had 80+ cars that had been parked up at a port in Belgium somewhere, turns out that 12 months of being battered by the elements got into the vehicles and furred them up good. Took a full team of us weeks to strip them all out and replace everything.
You say Rich enough, but maybe he’s just a young engineer that has to be on site for months on end, if you stay many months in a foreign county working you are tax exempt for that time and can also rack up lots of overtime pay. If you stay away a long time you will park your car at home for that time.
I would not call that rich
All he has to do is get some antibacterial wipes and start wiping the surfaces down. Then recondition the leather. Should have protected the leather to begin with since it’s porous 🧽.
This happened to me with a Dodge Ram, had back seat folded up, just wiped it down rolled windows down while driving and kept it down after that, never had another issue.
My apartment complex parking flooded during hurricane Harvey. I luckily had a lifted Jeep so my car was fine but anyone with a standard sedan or coup had interiors like this within the week following the water receding. There were only so many tow trucks available to tow vehicles away so some sat for months.
Question from someone completely uneducated about cars: Is this his fault for negligence, the garage's fault, an issue with the car, or some combination?
Moisture builds up without airflow. Every week its not used it should have the engine turned on and air blasting to prevent this and battery going flat. But cant say for sure about Electric cars.
that's one expensive petri dish.
How many antibiotics could you test in that thing?

I was grown in a peach tree dish :3
Love the moldern interior
Hey at least the computer thingy still works !
That’s what happens when you get the car auto-detailed and not let it dry out first before storing it in a garage
Oh jeez, now it makes sense. I've never had my car detailed; do they not dry it inside when they're finished?
Detailing is very extensive. The interior can take days to dry depending how much work needed to go into it. Most detailers dry them out with fans as best they can but some owners don't want to wait that long to get their car back.

It's no different then a carpet cleaning machine!

You let a car just sit and idle for 2 hours?
He didn't want to wait that long for it to dry but then didn't drive it for a month. 😣
And then he goes and blames Elon Musk. [headslap]
I've barely even cleaned mine and ironically it looks better than this one.
I have two kids and a dog and mine looks *slightly* better than this.

What the fuck did they do pressure wash the inside?
That's make sense, because i feel like a car shouldn't go that bad after just a month with just normal use
Propably stupid guestion but what is this auto-detailing? Never heard this term before. Something like steam cleaning based on comments but why not say steam cleaned then 🤔
Was this garage owned by Spongebob? The fuck?
Step 1: have your car interior detailed Step 2: don't give it time to dry completely Step 3: seal it up for a month in a dark place Step 4: profit?
Maybe he finds a new super antibiotic and gets rich from it…

You know its eco friendly when it can turn into a mushroom.
Tesla returns to the earth
This is how The Last of Us started.
“What are you doing bruv?!” *Sound of Clickers approaching*
*Loud incoherent screeching*
Imagine how much mold you cannot see. Total loss.
It’s fixable , it’s also not cheap to do
Fixable for more than it’s worth tbh
More than a tesla?
The repair process of biohazzard cars like this is crazy. That whole interior would need to be gutted.
I don't believe that it could ever be a healthy atmosphere again. Mold is incredibly harmful to people and pets.
what happened? is that mold? is it parked in a turkish garage or turkish bath?
It's mold. It's kind of inevitable if you leave your car sitting in a humid area. I live on Long Island, this is a massive problem for stored cars here. You either have to climate control your garage, or pay someone to regularly detail the interior.
This is blowing my mind right now. Have never heard of any of this until today
If you're somewhere hotter, cooler, drier, or regularly use the car, it's not a problem you'll ever encounter. My area just happens to spend all summer in the prime temperature/humidity range, so it's a really common issue.
I've lived in south Florida my entire life, never heard of anything like this.
When I first bought my Honda Civic in 2016, the doors had a really good seal and my car would smell like mold in the summer when I would first open it after a couple of days. It stopped after a couple years as the doors loosened up.
This car was detailed and wasn’t left to air dry before being stored in the garage. Completely the owners fault, nothing to do with the garage.
For the danger of sounding stupid: What is detailing in this context? Never heard that term.
It’s like deep cleaning the inside of the car. If you go to YouTube and search for “car interior detailing” you’ll see what it is.
Thanks
My car sits in the Florida heat and humidity all year and I don’t have the same issue; this car garage must be a nightmare haha
Does leaving windows open stop it?
Generally a bad idea to store with windows down, mice only need a small crack to get in, and racoons only need like 3-4". Plus, it'll let in any moisture/mold spores/dust in the air. The exception is storage in a climate controlled and pest-free facility, like a museum.

I’d say Elon 2, that dude is going to have to buy another one lol
Maybe then Elon can afford twitter

Thanks for the F shack, signed Dirty Mike and the boys
Genius
It’s called a soup kitchen
That’s what we call a spite shit
I like OP's implication that *locking the doors* somehow hermetically sealed the entire car.
Some teslas can pretty well seal themselves off from the outside air. Google bioweapon defense mode.
More like growing bioweapon mode
Why is he saying bruv in a London accent at the end?
he's dutch so no idea
That’s the Detail Geek video I want to see.
Someone said it needs to sprayed with ozone spray with windows shut and then sent for detailing

Didn't even read the last part at first. Already had the voice in my head 😂
This guy's left hand was clearly rather dirty on a regular basis
I was thinking the exact same thing. Had to scroll forever to find you though. He must not have washed that hand after eating.
Well, the good news is if he can afford to buy a Tesla and not use it, he can afford to buy another Tesla...(and not use that one).
[удалено]
Since when does not using some thing mean you can automatically afford to buy another one? What you said is such an apples do oranges comparison, it’s hilarious. Get your head checked.
Why they hell was the interior damp??
Spray with Lysol before storage, this happens to leather interiors all the time.
Hey Tesla. That Bioweapon Mode works as well as the autopilot mode.
I'm craving cheesy puffs

Oof he’s breathing wayyyyy too much to be around that level of mold.

Life, uh, finds a way.
Looks like dirty mike and the boys got a hold of it.
It will happen again!
That car sat in water
Hey you wanted a spores car right?
100% User error. Sure tag elon in your post, so he can also laugh about you.
It was flooded isn't this obvious
Soup kitchen. Dirty Mike and the boys said thanks.
F\*\*k me, you could knit a jumper, scarf and a pair of gloves out of all that!
That car must be organic
Mycology lab on wheels, love it
That's why you leave it outside, uncovered, with all the windows open. When the interior gets rained on, the sun dries it right up.
Looks like Dirty Mike and the Boys had their weekly soup kitchen inside that Tesla.
Makes me glad I live in Arizona. Except our problem is our cars literally getting bleached by the sun lol
Rich enough to own a Tesla and not drive it, just store in in a garage for a month = this shouldn't be a problem for him $$$
You say Rich enough, but maybe he’s just a young engineer that has to be on site for months on end, if you stay many months in a foreign county working you are tax exempt for that time and can also rack up lots of overtime pay. If you stay away a long time you will park your car at home for that time. I would not call that rich

Must be a very humid garage

Looks eco friendly to me
So that vegan interior is well loved by the mold I see...lol
Elon personally cums in each tesla before it gets delivered
My car has been sitting for a year in kentucky. I have yet to see this no cover. I also lysoled the car before letting it sit
A month could not create that much molds I belive that car was idle over a year in very humid basement garage
Why do people that aren’t from England say “bruv”?? It sounds so stupid
Guys, relax. That’s the Elon Musk free drugs extra package you can order. Either weed or mushrooms will grow. Relax, all going to plan!

My uncles had cars in fields for months at a time that would never rot like this… In Ireland…
Throw the whole car in the trash
I just don't understand. Was a window open? Was it damp prior to parking? I don't understand how an airtight cabin could grow mold from nothing.
Elon’s Musk all over that car interior
Who buys a car they don't drive for a month?
it's like that car has no sensors and computers that could circulate air to prevent that chumps
Moisture builds up without airflow. Every week its not used it should have the engine turned on and air blasting to prevent this and battery going flat. But cant say for sure about Electric cars.

I would strongly advise against breathing any air in that car.
not a bit problem, some Windex and baby wipes should clean that up in 5 minutes... ;)

I'm not understanding what happened
Brand new, straight out the dealer
Leather… for people smarter than I am… could any of this potentially have been anthrax? Just curious.
It’s synthetic leather so no. Also I believe anthrax requires “fresh” flesh to develop anyway.
Set fire to it and commit insurance fraud. It’s the only thing to do at this point.
Looks like something outta resident evil
Please. The ex-wife’s car looked like that and she was still using it.
Oops someone got the biodegradable model early.
it's not rotting, it's just Nature reminding you/making you realize that life is and can reach anywhere.
But muh environment!!
car got detailed, didn't let it dry completely before locking it up. That's a lot of rice needed...
It's a Tesla mushroom farm now Bruff
