Is it more expensive to repair Tesla S electric vehicle systems?

The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

When do Tesla S brakes need to be replaced?

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.

Why is water leaking from my S?

Electric cars use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant free of contaminants, and this process can produce some condensation. When it’s warm outside, this condensation may drain under the vehicle. If you’ve been running the air conditioner in your S for some time, don’t be too concerned to find a bit of water under it. However, if you discover large amounts of water or any coolant leaking under your vehicle, you may have a problem with the cooling system or another component.

EV Services for Your 2020 Tesla S

Have you noticed your Tesla S behaving differently? Maybe you've felt less "pep" in its acceleration, or it feels like it is taking forever to go from 0 to 60MPH. 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 hot, it will limit the battery’s performance. Or, maybe your S has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer low voltage and conventional services for all electric cars, and that includes your 2020 Tesla S.

Certain Firestone Complete Auto Care locations also provide advanced/high voltage services for Electric Vehicles like the Tesla S. A high voltage service is any service that involves removing the S's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, or any high voltage electric machines/motors or high voltage cables, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.

Your store's high voltage electric vehicle service may include:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 2020 Tesla S to get to the root of the trouble. With that info in hand, a professional technician can further diagnose electric vehicle problems you're having and determine what tests (if any) are needed. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.

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 2020 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: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your Tesla S's high voltage battery a goner? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, since these chargers can heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll review the power inverter, electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), and/or regenerative braking 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 and ask!
