After driving home from a car wash, my passenger was getting her feet wet on the passenger side. The fluid was dripping on her feet and it looked like a neon green in color. I have a Model 3 2022. Is this a urgent concern? should I take it to get serviced? Has anyone else had this?

There's not a whole lot of liquids in a Tesla, especially green. Battery coolant is one candidate. There is a coolant loop that runs to the computer inside the dash, so that is a possible source of leaking. Washer fluid I believe is blue, so shouldn't be that color.
Unless that liquid is from your car wash, but I don't believe I have seen green liquids used for washing cars. If it's from outside, there are a few possibilities. One is the window was not all the way up. Another is the water went into the air vent under the maintenance panel (on left in picture here). However that water should hit the filter, not the glove box area.

Here's where the cabin filter would be (it's behind the kick panel on the center console):

It's also possible there is a leak somewhere else. Edit, I have heard of A-pillar leaks, here is an example:
Passenger Side Leak??
It initially had the same problem as your's where there was a leak that seems like it came from glove box area.

@toshibamouse60 Is the fluid clear? Does it have any distinctive smell? If no to both, then it's probably condensation from the A/C unit. If yes to either then what's the color and try to describe the smell. Do NOT try to be like Cheborneck (if you get the reference).
