What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 Tesla S

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your S's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Tesla, from the axles to the transmission. 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 2020 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.

What Are 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2020 Tesla S drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your S might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. 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.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2020 Tesla S? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.

Got drivetrain problems? Then you’ve got driving problems. Get answers to everyday 2020 Tesla S drivetrain questions, and stop by your neighborhood Firestone Complete Auto Care today.

  •  Can Tesla drivetrain maintenance help me save money? Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.
  • What are the symptoms of a damaged Tesla drivetrain system? Your Tesla S drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.
  • How often will I need Tesla S differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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? A multitude of problems can activate your S’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Can my S malfunction warning light be reset at home? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your S’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my S? If your S has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.
  • Is my S’s transmission part of the drivetrain? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your S’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your S forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
