“Yo Jimmy, what was that trick you said you did to get these candy-a$$ pedal covers on again?”
“Just spray some Dawn on it, slides right on”
“Oh right, thanks!”

- rootusrootus 3y agoIt's a relatively common trick when you need lubrication but don't want it to stick around permanently (though personally I dilute the Dawn considerably). But for someone like Tesla, who can afford the fancy stuff, they actually make temporary lubricants for this exact purpose.
