When should I come in for Tesla Roadster differential service?

Is it possible to reset the Roadster malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is my Roadster’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Roadster is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Tesla Roadster

Your Roadster drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Tesla, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Roadster and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Tesla Roadster, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Tesla's recommendations.

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 fix many 2010 Tesla Roadster drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft.

Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Tesla Roadster drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2010 Tesla Roadster drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
