Can you reset your S’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your S's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your S.

Does my S drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is a key component of the drivetrain system in your S. The drivetrain is the system of components that delivers power from the engine to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. It includes the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 2014 Tesla S Drivetrain Service

Your S’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Tesla, from back to front.

Care for your 2014 Tesla S 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.
