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 Y 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 Y differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is my Y malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

If your Y has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

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

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Y’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.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Y serious?

If your Y 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 Y’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Y’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Y forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 Tesla Y

Your Y drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the 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 Y and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2020 Tesla Y 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.

When to Get Tesla Y Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2020 Tesla Y drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Y might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. 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 Y doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2020 Tesla Y? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
