The small battery that makes a Tesla look dead
Tesla will not wake up in Tampa? 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 battery calls in Tampa
In Tampa, a Tesla that goes dark in a deck near International Plaza and Westshore office garages, Bayshore Boulevard condos, and Downtown and Channelside parking decks cannot be rolled out of its space without power. We bring external power to open the frunk, replace the 12-volt battery in the stall, and confirm the car wakes and unlocks before we leave.
Tesla calls in Tampa come from the same crew that covers Ybor City, Seminole Heights and South Tampa.
Which Teslas have a 12-volt battery we can replace
Tesla changed the low-voltage battery over the years, so two cars of the same model can need different parts. Roughly:
| 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) |

Questions we get
Can you replace my Tesla low-voltage battery at home in Tampa?
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 Tampa, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
Do you replace the lithium low-voltage battery on newer Teslas in Tampa?
Normally that goes through Tesla. It is a Tesla part designed for a long life. Send the VIN and we tell you which one you have before anyone drives out.
Is my Tesla a 12-volt or 16-volt car?
It depends on the build date, not just the year. Look under Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information, or text us the VIN.
Will a jump start fix a dead Tesla?
External 12-volt power can wake the car enough to open the frunk. If the battery has failed, it still needs to be replaced.
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.
