How often will I need Tesla Y 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 Y’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

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.

Can you clear the Y check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Y, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Y to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my Y?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Y, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Y transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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.

All About 2021 Tesla Y Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Y's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2021 Tesla Y to maintain its performance power. Follow Tesla's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Tesla Y Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2021 Tesla Y drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Tesla Y may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. 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.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2021 Tesla Y drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket 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.
