This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can't use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

This is definitely not true. Teslas can absolutely go through a car wash. They do recommend touchless ones, but pretty much every manufacturer does.

There's gotta be some misinformation going around.

I rented a Mach-E recently and drove it a ton around Texas. I was warned at the desk not to take it in a car wash, but I also drove it through the craziest rainstorm my Yankee eyes have ever seen.

I think dragging them is the issue. They can get wet.
