Questions About 2016 Tesla S Electric Systems

  • Is it more expensive to repair Tesla S electric vehicle systems? It depends. Some high voltage items are only available as parts of larger units. We also offer promotional financing when you use the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)
  • How often should you replace Tesla S brakes? A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for S brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.
  • My Tesla S dashboard warning light is on. What should I do? A dashboard warning light means your Tesla S 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.
  • Is it normal for my S to leak water? If you’ve been running the A/C in your electric car, don’t be too surprised to find some water underneath it. Electric vehicles use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant clean, which can produce external condensation. This condensation then drains under the vehicle on warm days. While a small amount of water can be considered normal, large puddles or any coolant leaking from your S could indicate a cooling system problem.
  • Where can I get my S repaired near me? If you need repairs for your Tesla S, your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care can help. Check out our low-voltage and high-voltage services.
  • How frequently should I have my Tesla S vehicle serviced? To determine the optimal service intervals for your Tesla S, it is important to consider factors such as your driving habits, vehicle age, and mileage. Check your owner's manual or speak with an automotive professional for more specific guidance. Keep in mind that even electric cars require regular maintenance, such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks. Additionally, electric cars require maintenance for the battery, brakes, and A/C system.

Local EV Service for 2016 Tesla S

Has your Tesla S been feeling a bit "off"? 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. If so, Firestone technicians can conduct a no-cost* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a deeper understanding. Maybe there's a problem with your S’s high voltage cooling system -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Or, perhaps there are Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of your S's 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 2016 Tesla S.

Certain Firestone locations also offer advanced/high voltage services for Electric Vehicles like the Tesla S. A high voltage service is any service that involves removing 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. 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: Once we identify the symptoms, a diagnostic is the next step we take when you bring your 2016 Tesla S in to identify the root cause. With the information gathered, a professional technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. No repairs are performed without your consent.

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

High voltage cable inspection: The outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2016 S will be inspected and tested to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. Your technician will notify you if the cable is in need of replacement.

Isolation test: This test involves using a unique tool to see if any high voltage parts are "leaking" electric energy to the S's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your Tesla S'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, since these chargers can heat the battery more. Let us install a new electric vehicle high voltage battery.

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 just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call ahead to confirm!
