What does car wash mode do?

Also locks the charging port, turns off the AC, locks the doors and windows. Still nothing that should prevent the car from breaking in a car wash....

Also, upon reading the article, seems like the car was fine after a reset, it just took 5 hours. Didn't have anything to do with the car wash it seems.

But what if there is heavy rain? Are you supposed to put the car in car wash mode then? Why wouldn't those things be sealed all the time?

Car wash mode always is the solution.
