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

The answer is, it depends. Certain high voltage parts are only available as components in larger units. We do offer promotional financing 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.

Why is my Tesla S dashboard warning light on?

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 my S leaking water?

It is normal for an electric car to have some water underneath it after running the air conditioning for a period of time. This moisture is present because electric cars still use a receiver dryer assembly to keep the contaminants out of the vehicles A/C refrigerant, and as part of this process, some condensation is produced as a byproduct. On warm days, the condensation drains under the vehicle. A little bit of water is normal. But if you notice a significant amount of water or any amount of coolant leaking from your S, it may be a sign of a problem with the cooling system or another component.

2021 Tesla S EV Services

Does your Tesla S run differently than it used to? 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, our technicians can run through a free* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a better idea. 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. Then again, it could be that your S has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its 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, including 2021 Tesla Ss.

Select Firestone stores also provide advanced/high voltage services for electric cars like Tesla Ss. A high voltage service is anything that requires taking out the Tesla's high voltage, service/safety disconnect plug/switch, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Before making an appointment, call your closest location to confirm that high voltage services are offered.

These are some of the high voltage electric vehicle services that may be offered at your location:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: A diagnostic is the next step we take after noting the symptoms your Tesla S is showcasing. This step will help us get to the bottom of the real problem. With the information gathered, 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: The technician will closely examine the high voltage battery's filter and, if needed, 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: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2021 Tesla S and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement due to wear and tear.

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 the battery in your Tesla S dead? Sometimes electric vehicle batteries can wear out sooner than you expect in hotter climates or if you use Level 3 fast-charging stations often, as these stations can heat up the battery more. Let us install a new electric vehicle high voltage battery.

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