Tesla Motors Club

I'm taking my Model 3 in for its first detailing tomorrow morning and wonder what preparations (if any) that this group has done. I've used this detailer before and he is a nice guy, owns the business and works on the cars himself. He has never worked on a Tesla before though. I imagine I will spend some time showing him the basics of using the key card to get in out of the vehicle, how to properly open the doors etc..

In addition to basic usage, would you still enable Valet mode/Speed limit mode? What about keeping Sentry Mode enabled? He would have the key card, so i'm not sure if sentry mode would even activate as long as the key card was on the center console.
Since valet mode locks the frunk, then maybe i do not want to use it because the detailer may need to get to that area? Maybe i'm just over-thinking all of this and should just relax. I just never had this much control over my previous ICE cars.
