About once a week but I enjoy doing it. Probably won't be as frequent through the winter months but I'm going to try.

My side hobby is detailing, once a week. I just did some light paint correction, coating, sealant and wax. Maintenance washes once per week.

 

[teethdood]

Once every 2 months. Too busy working making money for car payment.

Haha exactly

 

[Kiembbui]

Once to twice a week, and use the California duster everyday.

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

Until it’s done?

At least 10-15 min. Every day. Signature red does not live well in Dusty conditions out here where I live it looks horrible every day and I have to take a duster and go over it.

I can relate to that I spent 14 years living in Minnesota still miss it it was actually the bugs that drove me away not the cold

I think you'd love Toronto....the car changes colour in the winters, and the summers....

Try driving from Toronto to Niagara falls in the summer and see if your car is still recognizable

I wash the outside of my Tesla 2 or 3 times a year. In the ten years I've had it I think I've vacuumed the carpets a couple of times. It's a car. Not a purebred show dog. I bought it because I hate gasoline and I love driving electric. Not to show off how clean I can keep a car.

Note: In the first year I probably washed it 5 or 6 times. Where I live, there's no point in washing a car in winter, but I always wash the salt off the undercarriage in the spring.

One a month...parked in the garage so it doesn't get that dirty.

My driveway has some mud on the exit of it and my car gets some significant mud splats an hour later. Usually about twice a week. I just do a foam gun and takes only 30 min.

I just put her in ludicrous mode and accelerate. Dirt gets left behind. LOL

It depends on how you use your car. I don't allow food or beverages, so that limits dirt. I have a set of plastic floor shields so I am able to remove them frequently to dump out the dirt. I have a dust brush that I use on most upper surfaces to remove dust. I have black seats so most stuff does not show up. I vacuum every 2 months.

I only just washed the car as I wanted the paint to cure over the summer. I only park in my driveway at home and my driveway at work so, that limits dirt.

Agreed! These are cars, They are meant to be driven and utilized. I drive the crap out of it and I drive my Roadster aggressively too.

Ultimately these are forms of transportation. I don't mess it up intentionally but I also am not afraid to get her muddy and dirty. I go to work. I shop. I get hardware and building supplies. I take kids to and from games and friends houses.I expect dirt and such will get in the car and under the pads to an extent.

My car is not a diamond ring that needs to be polished and shining. It is not a religious artifact that requires reverence and worship. Sure I clean and vacuum occasionally (because I am a clean person who does not want to live in a dirty place), but it is not an obsession or compulsion. I see my car as a modern day tool of necessity that allows me to move and function within society by taking on jobs that I would not otherwise be able to tackle without her assistance.

I am unsure if you are attacking your friend's insufficient cleaning efforts or if you are making a comment about how quickly Tesla vehicles attract dirt, or if you are commenting about how dirt can find hiding places in a Tesla.

Cars get dirty if you drive them, and it is not possible to absolutely sterilize and clean them on a moment to moment basis. To me, your friend's car looks fine, if not a bit overprotected with aftermarket seat and floor guards.

Ummm... off topic, but I really want those third row seat backers / protectors... what brand are they?

A kindred spirit! I love the feel of the acceleration when I press the pedal of my Roadster to the floor. (I accelerate aggressively, I am not aggressive toward other drivers. I'm sure you are the same.)
