Being a Tesla owner means enjoying a cutting-edge driving experience with one of the most advanced vehicles on the road today. However, even with its high-tech design, your Tesla still requires regular maintenance to get the best performance, safety, and longevity. At Masterwerks, we’re proud to offer a range of services specifically designed to meet your needs. Here’s a look at some key maintenance items for your Tesla.

1. Tire Rotation and Alignment

Teslas, especially the Model S and X, are known for their amazing torque and acceleration, which can lead to uneven tire wear. Regular tire rotation is crucial to ensure even wear across all tires, extending their lifespan and maintaining optimal handling.

Additionally, Tesla owners may face unique alignment challenges, such as acceleration shudder and inner tire wear. At Masterwerks, we are a recommended Phoenix installer for N2ITIVE’s Alignment Kit 1, designed to specifically address these issues. Regular alignments will not only improve your vehicle’s performance but also prevent unnecessary tire wear and ensure a smoother, safer ride.

2. Brake System

Teslas, Unlike ICE vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, this reduces wear on the brake pads. However, the brake system is maintenance-free. It’s important to regularly inspect the brake fluid and pads to ensure everything is in proper working order. A brake system check is recommended at least once a year or every 12,000 miles.

3. Battery Health

Your Tesla’s battery is the heart of the vehicle, so maintaining its health is crucial. While Tesla’s battery packs are designed to last for hundreds of thousands of miles, regular inspections can help detect any potential issues early. At Masterwerks your local mom and pop shop, we can perform comprehensive battery diagnostics to check for any signs of degradation or irregularities, ensuring your Tesla will deliver the range and performance you expect.

4. Cooling System Maintenance

Tesla vehicles use an advanced cooling system to manage the temperature of the battery, motors, and other components. Over time, the coolant can break down, reducing its effectiveness. Regular coolant flushes and inspections will keep your Tesla’s cooling system in top condition, preventing overheating and lead to long-term reliability.

5. Software Updates

Tesla frequently releases software updates that improve vehicle performance, add new features, and enhance safety. While these updates can be done over-the-air, it’s important to make sure that your vehicle is always running the latest version. At Masterwerks, we will assist with updating your Tesla’s software if you encounter any issues, ensuring your car remains up-to-date with the latest features.

6. Suspension and Steering Inspections

Teslas are heavier than normal vehicles, particularly the Model S / X, regular suspension and steering inspections are essential. These components play a crucial role in your vehicle’s handling and ride comfort. We recommend having your suspension and steering system checked regularly to identify and address any wear or damage.

7. Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Tesla vehicles are equipped with HEPA filters that keep the cabin air clean by filtering out pollutants, allergens, and even viruses. Over time, these filters can become clogged and less effective. We recommend replacing your cabin air filter every 2 years or 20,000 miles to maintain a healthy and comfortable cabin environment.
