Are Tesla S electric vehicle systems more expensive to repair?

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.)

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.

Why is my Tesla S dashboard warning light on?

Your Tesla S dashboard warning light might be on due to a number or reasons. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more.

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.

2023 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 that's the case, Firestone technicians can conduct a no-charge* electric/hybrid vehicle check to get a deeper understanding. There could be an issue with the high voltage cooling system in your S -- 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, including your 2023 Tesla S.

Some Firestone locations also offer advanced/high voltage services for electric cars like Tesla Ss. A high voltage service is any service that involves removing 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. 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: 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 those insights, your expert technician can further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. 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: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2023 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? 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 replace it for you.

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.
