What to Know About 2008 Tesla Roadster Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Tesla Roadster to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Roadster. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Roadster maintenance. Just follow your 2008 Tesla Roadster maintenance schedule!

Tesla knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Roadster running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2008 Tesla Roadster problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Tesla Roadster Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2008 Tesla Roadster and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Roadster's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2008 Tesla Roadster? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Tesla Roadster battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Roadster) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Tesla Roadster could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Maintaining your Tesla Roadster steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Tesla Roadster steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Tesla Roadster's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Tesla Roadster maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Tesla Roadster engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Tesla Roadster radiator in need of replacement? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2008 Tesla Roadster maintenance.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Tesla Roadster? Check your car for pothole damage!

Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
