Questions we get
Can you replace my Tesla low-voltage battery at home in Temple Terrace?
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 Temple Terrace, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
Do you replace the lithium low-voltage battery on newer Teslas in Temple Terrace?
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.
