What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2023 Tesla 3

Your 3’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Tesla, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2023 Tesla 3 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Tesla's recommendations.

When to Get Tesla 3 Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2023 Tesla 3 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Tesla 3 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Tesla 3 doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2023 Tesla 3 drivetrain repair is expensive. Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
