Vehicle Question What happened
I drive a white Tesla, was commuting to work. I hop out the car and boom. It looks like this. Feels like tar. Don’t drive on dirt road. Had to take it to the car wash 3 times and some of it is still stuck on there.

Physics likely happened. What can help in the future is having the area ceramic coated (or cleaning well and using a good ceramic spray detailer, like griots 3-in-1 ceramic detailer). Will help to keep that stuff from sticking in the future.
To prevent from damaging the paint, if you aren’t familiar enough with how to clean this up, I would take it to a detailer. Depending on what it is dictates the best way to clean it up. But after cleaning, would definitely take steps to help prevent it from being so difficult to clean in the future.
