Are Tesla S electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair?

The answer is, it depends. Certain high voltage parts are only available as components in larger units. We do offer promotional financing through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

When do Tesla S brakes need to be replaced?

A brake inspection is your smartest first step. Investing in manufacturer suggested maintenance intervals for Tesla S brakes is another good idea. That said, front brake pad wear can be significantly reduced in electric vehicles because of regenerative braking.

What do I do if my Tesla S dashboard warning light is on?

Your Tesla S dashboard warning light might be on due to a number or reasons. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more.

Is it normal for my S to leak water?

It is common for electric cars to have some water accumulation underneath them after using the air conditioning system for a bit of time. Electric car A/C systems use receiver dryer assemblies to help the refrigerant stay clean, and this process can create condensation that drains under the vehicle on warm days. Noticing a bit of water under your S shouldn’t be a cause for concern, but significant amounts of water or any coolant leaks could indicate an issue with your cooling system.

How often should I take my Tesla S in for maintenance?

You should plan to stop by for tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks according to your vehicle manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule. You will also need routine A/C system, battery, and brake maintenance.

Local EV Service for 2013 Tesla S

Have you noticed your Tesla S behaving differently? Perhaps you've noted weaker braking, or your vehicle doesn't feel like it has the same "get up and go" that it used to. Whatever the issue, our technicians can perform a free* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. Perhaps there is trouble inside your S's high voltage cooling system -- if the high voltage battery is running too hot, it will reduce your battery's performance. Then again, it could be that your S has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules. Your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care store is ready to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric vehicles, including your 2013 Tesla S.

Select Firestone stores also have advanced/high voltage services for electric cars like Tesla Ss. A high voltage service is any service that involves removing the S's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, any high voltage cables, etc. Call your local store before making an appointment to check if high voltage services are offered.

Some of these high voltage electric vehicle services might include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 2013 Tesla S to get to the root of the trouble. 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 S'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 2013 Tesla S 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: During this test, the technician will use a special tool to check for any high voltage components that are "leaking" electric energy to the chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your Tesla S's high voltage battery a goner? Electric vehicle batteries can sometimes fail sooner than expected in hotter climates or if you often 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 regenerative braking, power inverter, and/or electric drive machine(s)/motor(s) in your Tesla S.

These are only a few of the special electric car services that could be available at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call ahead to confirm!
