Questions we get
Can you replace my Tesla low-voltage battery at home in Seminole Heights?
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 Seminole Heights, 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 Seminole Heights 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.
