Among all the cars you usually see in lousy condition, hardly any of them would be a Tesla, but this Tesla Model S had certainly seen better days.
Someone had just bought a used Model S, and to their surprise, it was in pretty bad shape.
By ‘bad shape,’ we mean it was parked outside near trees for well over two years.
Time is normally quite harsh on cars, and this one saw its fair share of damage as well.

Detailers decide to clean a dirty Tesla Model S
The guys from WD Detailing traveled 500 miles from Ohio to Illinois to clean up this EV, only to be surprised by its condition.
They also posted a video about it and showed the absolutely nasty situation this Model S was in.
Upon first look, one of the members mentioned that it was a ‘green’ car they would be working on — you know, good for the environment kind.
That opinion, however, took a quick U-turn as it was instead a car covered in green moss.
That’s right — the outside humid parking with no signs of sunlight had accelerated the damage.
Although it wasn’t looking promising, the feats of modern engineering had saved the interior from getting any harm and actually looked great.
It even drove, which was a rare situation for a WD Detailing project.
Its new owner had used their Halo Warthog-edition Cybertruck as a battery pack to make it run again.
A car-breaking discovery
Its new owner further revealed a caveat — the main screen inside the Tesla Model S was not working.
This was a massive problem because you can’t know anything about a Tesla without its main screen, and Tesla cannot assist you without you performing a series of tasks on the screen.
Most problems in these modern-age EVs are solved remotely, and it’s actually one of its quirks.
However, it stops being convenient if the screen itself goes blank.
The team still managed to take it to their workshop for a thorough wash, after which it would have been sent to Tesla for repairs.
Apart from the damaged display, the Model S looked like it had just left the dealership.
