Cleaning
Cleaning the Exterior
To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin,
dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.). Do not wait until CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is due
for a complete wash. If necessary, use denatured alcohol to remove tar spots and stubborn grease stains, then immediately
wash the area with water and a mild, non-detergent soap to remove the alcohol.
NOTE: It is normal for the stainless steel exterior to mature over time, resulting in minor changes to the reflective properties
and color of the metal.
Dents and Scratches
The stainless steel exterior of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is more resistant to dents and dings than most
other vehicles. However, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y does not have a clear coat on the surface of the exterior
body panels, meaning any scratches that appear are in the stainless steel panels themselves. Anyone performing scratch
repair should refer to the applicable "Exterior Stainless Steel Panel Refinishing" procedure within the Collision Repair Manual
on service.tesla.com. In addition, do not use, and/or immediately remove, chemical, corrosive, or non-pH neutral substances
(including but not limited to: acidic liquids or materials, grease, oil, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial
fallout, etc.) as they can cause corrosion on the vehicle's exterior.
CAUTION: Tesla is not liable for any damage caused by failing to refer to official guidance.

the area with water and a mild, non-detergent soap to remove the alcohol.
Surface Contamination
Over time, you may notice contamination on the surface of the stainless steel body panels. These spots may appear as orange
or brown rust. However, it is important to note that your Cybertruck is not rusting. Refer to the DIY Guide for more
information.
Keep the exterior cameras free of dirt, condensation, or obstructions. These substances can cause unclear pictures or
Autopilot and safety features to stop working (see Cleaning a Camera on page 773Cleaning a Camera on page 773Cleaning a
Camera on page 773Cleaning a Camera on page 774Cleaning a Camera on page 1131).
Follow these steps when washing the exterior of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y:
1. Before washing, flush grime and grit from the vehicle using a hose. Flush away accumulations of mud in areas where debris
easily collects (such as wheel wells and panel seams). If salt has been used on the highways (such as during winter
months), thoroughly rinse all traces of road salt from the underside of the vehicle, wheel wells, and brakes.
2. Mix a mild, pH-neutral soap (such as car shampoo) with water until it gets soapy.
3. Soak a soft cleaning sponge in the soap mixture and hand wash CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y.
CAUTION: Some cleaners and car shampoos contain chemicals that can cause damage or discoloration, especially
for plastic trim pieces, exterior lights, or camera lenses. For example, some car cleaning formulas contain hydroxide
or other highly alkaline or caustic ingredients that can damage exterior components. Do not use acidic products
either. Damage or discoloration resulting from cleaning products is not covered by the warranty.
4. Hand wash CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y using a clean soft cloth and cold or lukewarm water and a dish
soap with mild degreasing properties. Mix the dish soap and water until it resembles water you would wash your dishes
in.mild, high-quality car shampoo.
