A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for Roadster brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.

Why is my Tesla Roadster dashboard warning light on?

A dashboard warning light means your Tesla Roadster needs some sort of attention. There may also be a high voltage system warning light on. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic.

Why is my Roadster leaking water?

It is normal for an electric car to have some water underneath it after running the air conditioning for a period of time. This moisture is present because electric cars still use a receiver dryer assembly to keep the contaminants out of the vehicles A/C refrigerant, and as part of this process, some condensation is produced as a byproduct. On warm days, the condensation drains under the vehicle. A little bit of water is normal. But if you notice a significant amount of water or any amount of coolant leaking from your Roadster, it may be a sign of a problem with the cooling system or another component.

Local EV Service for 2008 Tesla Roadster

Has your Tesla Roadster been feeling a bit "off"? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. If that's the case, our technicians can run through a no-charge* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a deeper understanding. Perhaps there is trouble inside your Roadster's high voltage cooling system -- if the high voltage battery is running hot, it will limit the battery’s performance. Or, maybe your Roadster has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, and that includes your 2008 Tesla Roadster.

Select Firestone stores also have high voltage/advanced services for electric cars like Tesla Roadsters. High voltage services are any that include taking out the Tesla's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, or any high voltage electric machines/motors or high voltage cables, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.

Some of these high voltage electric vehicle services might include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: A diagnostic is the next step we take after noting the symptoms your Tesla Roadster is showcasing. This step will help us get to the bottom of the real problem. With that info in hand, your expert technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. We never perform repairs without your approval.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: Your technician will inspect the Roadster's high voltage battery filter (if applicable) and clean the ducts of the battery. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2008 Tesla Roadster and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement due to wear and tear.

Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your Tesla Roadster's high voltage battery a goner? Electric vehicle batteries may need replacement sooner in hot climates or if you frequently use Level 3 fast-charging stations, as these stations can heat up the battery more. Let us replace it for you.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll inspect the electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), power inverter, and/or regenerative braking in your 2008 Tesla Roadster.
