The small battery that makes a Tesla look dead
Tesla will not wake up in Lutz? It is usually the small low-voltage battery, not the drive pack. We replace 12-volt lead-acid batteries on Model S, X, 3 and Y where the car is parked. Call (813) 568-9904 or text the year, model and VIN.
Tesla service around Lutz
Most Lutz Teslas charge in a home garage, in neighborhoods like Lutz. Being plugged in does not protect the 12-volt battery, which can still wear out after a few years, and the touchscreen warning often comes first. Book when you see it and we come to the garage.
Lutz is in Hillsborough County. We cover it along with Land O’ Lakes, New Tampa and Carrollwood.
Which Teslas have a 12-volt battery we can replace
Every Tesla has a small low-voltage battery as well as the big drive pack. Which one yours has depends on the build date:
| Model | We can replace on site | Tesla part (we tell you up front) |
|---|---|---|
| Model S | 2012–2020: 12V lead-acid (AGM) | 2021 on (refresh): lithium-ion, about 15.5–16V |
| Model X | 2016–2020 model years: 12V lead-acid | 2021 on (refresh): lithium-ion, about 15.5–16V |
| Model 3 | Built through about 2021: 12V lead-acid | About 2022 on, incl. 2024+ Highland: lithium-ion (16V or 14.4V) |
| Model Y | Built through about 2021: 12V lead-acid | About 2022 on, incl. 2025+ redesign: lithium-ion (16V or 14.4V) |
| Cybertruck | n/a | 48V low-voltage system (Tesla Service) |

What we do on Teslas in Lutz, and what we do not
- 12-volt lead-acid (older Model S, X, 3 and Y): replaced on site.
- 16-volt (or 14.4-volt) lithium-ion low-voltage battery: Tesla designs these to last much longer, and they are a Tesla part. If yours has one, we tell you before we drive out, and Tesla Service may be the right call.
- High-voltage drive pack: not part of this service.
- Cybertruck: uses a 48-volt low-voltage system. That is a Tesla Service job, not ours.

Questions we get
Do you replace Tesla 12V batteries in Lutz?
Yes, on Teslas with the 12-volt lead-acid battery: Model S and X through 2020 and earlier Model 3 and Model Y. We come to you in Lutz, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
My Tesla has the 16-volt lithium battery. Can you replace it?
Those are Tesla parts built to last much longer than the old 12-volt. If the VIN shows a lithium low-voltage battery, we tell you before we come out, and in most cases Tesla Service is the right route.
How do I know which low-voltage battery my Tesla has?
On the touchscreen, go to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information. Or send us the VIN and we check.
My Tesla is dead in a Lutz garage. What do I do?
Leave it where it is and call us with the location and VIN. With external power we can open the frunk and, on 12-volt cars, replace the battery right there.
Do you work on the high-voltage battery or Cybertruck?
No. We do not service the drive pack, and Cybertruck's 48-volt system is a Tesla Service job.
