Everything You Need To Know About Tesla Maintenance Costs

Tesla vehicles are gaining in popularity around the world, but the maintenance and care of Tesla cars are very different to traditional combustion engine cars. Continue reading this article to learn more about Tesla maintenance and servicing and how to take care of your brand-new Tesla.

Maintenance Costs

Tesla's maintenance costs are generally lower than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles due to its electric drivetrain having fewer moving parts, reducing wear and tear. Additionally, over-the-air updates improve the vehicle's performance and functionality, reducing the need for routine service visits. However, some costs, such as tire and brake pad replacements, still exist, and while maintenance costs are generally lower for Tesla vehicles, owners should still budget for routine maintenance and potential repairs as they would with any other vehicle.

Tesla Mobile Service

Tesla offers a mobile service that creates a much more convenient servicing model that allows technicians to come to the owner’s home, workplace, or preferred location for routine maintenance and repairs which eliminates the need for the owner to take their vehicle to a service centre whenever someone needs to look at the vehicle.

Software Updates

Tesla vehicles receive regular software updates for their over-the-air updates, Autopilot advanced safety and convenience features, real-time traffic data and navigation, entertainment and gaming, and the mobile app for remote vehicle monitoring and control. Each new update to the vehicle’s software happens remotely, so you don’t need to visit a service centre whenever a new update is required.

Warranty Coverage

Tesla vehicles come with a comprehensive warranty that covers your car for either three years or 50,000 miles, depending on which your car reaches first. The warranty covers most of your vehicle’s components including the battery and driver unit, which means that you don’t have to worry about maintenance and upkeep costs when your car is still relatively new.

Service Plans

Tesla offers its customers the option of signing up for a prepaid service plan that covers routine maintenance including annual inspections, tyre rotations, and brake fluid changes. This allows Tesla owners to save money in the long run and budget for maintenance costs while keeping their Tesla finely tuned at all times.

Grilles

Keep your Tesla’s battery operating at optimum performance with an electric car grille. A lower grille can fit well onto Tesla models, and grilles can help you to reduce the cost of maintaining your Tesla by keeping your car battery cool for longer, as well as costing less than battery cooling liquid.
