“I bought a Tesla because they told me it wouldn’t need anything.”
Well… about that.
Electric doesn’t mean repair-free or maintenance-free!
Yes, Teslas have fewer routine maintenance requirements than gas-powered vehicles, but they still need BOTH repairs and maintenance.
🔧 Repairs: Control arms, ball joints, suspension components, and other parts that wear out or fail.
🔧 Maintenance: Cabin filters, HEPA filters, brake fluid exchanges, tires, and alignments.
And that noise coming from the front wheel? That’s exactly why regular inspections matter!
Different technology. Same need for quality repairs, proper maintenance, and a thorough technician.
Tesla owners, what repair or maintenance expense surprised you the most?
