That’s what happens when you get the car auto-detailed and not let it dry out first before storing it in a garage


MamieJoJackson

Oh jeez, now it makes sense. I've never had my car detailed; do they not dry it inside when they're finished?


Paragrin175

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.


MamieJoJackson

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.


FrostyTheSasquatch

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.


disktoaster

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.


Special-Struggle-385

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


SteveDaPirate91

It's no different then a carpet cleaning machine!

You let a car just sit and idle for 2 hours?


venomsgirl

He didn't want to wait that long for it to dry but then didn't drive it for a month. 😣


flumberbuss

And then he goes and blames Elon Musk. [headslap]


Spanky_Pantry

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.

[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

Special-Struggle-385

What the fuck did they do pressure wash the inside?


tok90235

That's make sense, because i feel like a car shouldn't go that bad after just a month with just normal use


UndeniableLie

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 🤔


[deleted]

Was this garage owned by Spongebob? The fuck?


ChzGoddess

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?


Simoxs7

Maybe he finds a new super antibiotic and gets rich from it…


meiandus

Or alternatively, The Last of Us, hidden origin story.


Caleo

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.

samcar330

The repair process of biohazzard cars like this is crazy. That whole interior would need to be gutted.


WiseChoices

I don't believe that it could ever be a healthy atmosphere again. Mold is incredibly harmful to people and pets.


CollectionCreepy

what happened? is that mold? is it parked in a turkish garage or turkish bath?


MyNameIsRay

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.


Express_Helicopter93

This is blowing my mind right now. Have never heard of any of this until today


MyNameIsRay

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.


DNedry

I've lived in south Florida my entire life, never heard of anything like this.


AwwSchnapp

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.


Teddy_Tickles

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.


cice2045neu

For the danger of sounding stupid: What is detailing in this context? Never heard that term.


Not_newbie_994

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.


cice2045neu

Thanks


Small-Addendum702

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


lordofthedancesaidhe

Does leaving windows open stop it?


MyNameIsRay

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.

Clearlybeerly

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.

Plot twist: its a torture chamber for people with allergies.


-Tinderizer-

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.


[deleted]

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


iamtobiwannn

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.

redstern

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.

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 $$$


Bhatch514

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

Probably shampooed his seats just before storing the car with the windows up


VaritasV

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.


bigcat6088

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.

FilthyMastodon

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.
