I’ve washed my 2023 Model S twice in a tunnel type car wash and am a little spooked. Both times, I got a caution light as I got into the car to drive away. First time, “Steering Assist Reduced”. Second time, “Vehicle Hold feature unavailable”. Doesn’t seem that caution messages after a wash can be normal.
When I arrived at the car wash, I put the car in Car Wash Mode, put my KeyCard in the tray, and turned the car over to the attendant. They drive it onto the conveyer, so I can’t be certain they put it in neutral but probably. When the car was ready I got in and noticed the warning. I put the KeyCard away, my phone in the tray, and reset the user profile to mine. The messages were still there but I drove away hoping they would clear. They didn’t so I pulled into another parking lot, parked, got out walked away until it locked. Then walked back, got in and the car was back to normal.
The car wash itself is very professional and there are hundreds of Teslas in our town so it’s highly unlikely they’re unfamiliar with the car.
Am I doing something wrong, or ??? Any help appreciated.
