How often should I come in for Tesla S differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a S’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your S’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

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

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my S?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your S. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your S.

Does my S transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your S is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

All About 2019 Tesla S Drivetrain Service

Your S 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 S and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2019 Tesla S to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Tesla's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Tesla S Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2019 Tesla S drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Tesla could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Tesla S doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2019 Tesla S drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
