An Electric Vehicle (EV), compared to an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) car, is lower maintenance.
Despite having a fraction of the moving parts, and wear items common in an ICE car, there are important maintenance requirements in an EV.
These are commonly addressed during an annual maintenance session at the Tesla Service Centers, or qualified independent Tesla shops like Gruber Motor Company.
These are just some of the items analyzed and diagnosed for functionality:
- Full range of charge capabilities are tested
- Error log file is retrieved and analyzed
- All closure mechanisms fully tested, windows, hood, trunk, charge port
- Remote keyless entry functions tested
- Key FOB battery replacement
- Safety items tested and diagnosed - Seat belts, Airbag
- Interior lighting checks
- Exterior lighting checks
- Gear change and brake lights checked
- Fluid level checks - Brakes - Coolant
