The small battery that makes a Tesla look dead
Tesla will not wake up in Oldsmar? 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.
Where we work on Teslas in Oldsmar
In Oldsmar the usual setup is a Tesla in the garage or driveway in Oldsmar. We need the front of the car reachable to open the frunk. If the car is nose-in against a wall or storage shelves, clear a little room before we arrive.
Tesla calls in Oldsmar come from the same crew that covers Safety Harbor, Westchase and Town 'n' Country.

Straight answers on what we fix
- 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.
Is it the 12-volt? Signs we hear about in Oldsmar
- Door handles, locks or the charge port stop responding
- The screen goes black or reboots, and the car will not shift into gear
- Model X falcon-wing doors act up before anything else does
- The car goes completely dark after sitting, even with plenty of range
What the job involves
- We check the VIN (or Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information on the screen) to confirm the battery type.
- If the car is dead, we open the frunk using the external-power leads Tesla provides for that.
- We power the car down the right way, remove the covers, and swap the 12-volt battery.
- The car is reconnected, woken up and checked for alerts before we leave. The old battery is recycled.

Questions we get
Do you replace Tesla 12V batteries in Oldsmar?
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 Oldsmar, 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 Oldsmar 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.
