Unless you wash your hands right before you enter your car every time, you are potentially depositing germs on your steering wheel, which may linger for days, we don't really know yet. Wasn't the steering wheel in the model 3 actual leather until around mid-2019? Since that's the main thing I touch, I'd like to know an easy way to disinfect it that won't ruin it.

Well, the CDC is an organization that dropped the ball on this one big time. I'd put more trust in Dr. David Price at Cornell, an intensivist who spends his whole day in proximity to Covid infected people. It is certainly stupid to put yourself in the path of anyone's cough today, but aside from that, for most people he makes a great case that your hands are the problem. Try this one: vimeo.com/399733860. My only qualifications: Dermatologist, got the disease from asymptomatic patient when I was not clued into my hand/face problem.Unless you are going to massage soapy water into your seats, steering wheel and doors for 30 seconds and then rinse it off with a hose, the only substances that will actually “disinfect” will likely discolor or damage the surfaces in your car.
The CDC recommends you disinfect high traffic surfaces like doorknobs, etc. The 1 or 2 people that were prepping your car prior to delivery does not constitute anything remotely high risk.
They also do not know if you can even get it from surfaces (CDC): “On the other hand, transmission of novel coronavirus to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented. Transmission of coronavirus occurs much more commonly through respiratory droplets than through fomites.”
The delivery center room full of people is a million times more dangerous than the inside of your newly delivered car (which 5 people disagreed with when I posted this lol).
Try actually reading information from reliable sources instead of a group of uninformed idiots on facebook.
(CDC)
- “The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.
- Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
- Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
- These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people
You can get 70% isopropyl in a spray bottle and spray down the whole interior and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.I just scheduled my FSD Computer upgrade for my M3. It’s my understanding that the technician does this by accessing the electronics under the dashboard. If s/he is not wearing a mask then their exhalations are potentially infectious depending on everyone with whom they’ve been inside of social distance within the last 7 to 10 days, even if they don’t presently have any symptoms. Thus it would seem prudent to consider the entire interior as potentially contaminated. Since I’m 75, my risk of death if I get infected Is on the order of 50%, therefore I intend to: let the car sit in the hot Texas sun for at least a half hour after installation, then open widows and run fan a couple of minutes while I wait outside, wear mask and gloves to drive it home (without turning on AC), wash hands at home, let it sit overnight. Probably wipe with disinfect next morning. That outta do it.
