Tesla: Unrivalled History of Innovation

Tesla Motors, now simply Tesla Inc., was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in 2003. Elon Musk was the company’s first investor and became the largest shareholder shortly after. After several years of raising funds, researching, and designing, the company launched its first model, the Tesla Roadster, an electric sports vehicle, in 2008.


In 2012, Tesla launched the luxury electric sedan Model S, a widespread success that brought Tesla to the forefront of EVs. If you’re the proud owner of the Tesla Model S, our technicians can offer reliable maintenance services. 


In 2014, the company released the Tesla Autopilot, which is included in all current models. This advanced driver assistance system is a revolutionary technology that partially automates driving. The company has also heavily invested in autonomous driving (full self-driving or FSD) and offers it as an extension of its vehicles.


Initially limited by production, Tesla has mass-produced its EVs by creating its 'gigafactory' in several regions. It also runs the Tesla Supercharger network in many countries worldwide, which helps fast-charge Teslas. 


The company’s investment in renewable energy goes beyond vehicles. It includes solar panels, a solar roof, and energy storage products like the Powerwall. 

Tesla Models: An EV for Everyone

From its humble beginnings with the Tesla Roadster, the company has expanded its lineup with multiple sedans and a truck. 

  • Tesla Model S is a sleek, high-performance electric sedan with long-range capabilities, cutting-edge technology, and a premium design.
  • Tesla Model 3 is an affordable, compact electric sedan designed with all basic Tesla features for mass-market appeal.
  • Tesla Model X is a luxury electric SUV with distinctive falcon-wing doors, generous space, exceptional performance, and innovative features.
  • Tesla Model Y is a versatile electric crossover that combines the practicality of an SUV with Tesla's efficiency and performance. 
  • Tesla Cybertruck is a durable, spacious electric truck with off-road capabilities and a futuristic aesthetic. 


At Auto Fix, we offer dependable and accessible services for all Tesla models. 

Tesla Maintenance Schedule

One of the best things about owning a Tesla is that it requires minimal maintenance. However, the little maintenance required is crucial for ensuring its battery technology and other systems work optimally. 

Here’s what a typical Tesla maintenance schedule looks like:


Every Month

  • Brakes: Look for wear and tear on the brake pads and rotors. 
  • Windshield wiper: Check the wipers’ conduction and replace them if worn out.


Every Six Months

  • Tire rotation: Rotate tires every six months or 6,250 miles. 
  • Wheel alignment: Inspect the wheel alignment and adjust it if it is out of alignment.
  • Suspension: Inspect the suspension system to see if it’s in good shape.


Every Year

  • Coolant: Check the battery and electronics coolant level and top up if necessary.
  • Brake calipers: Clean and lubricate brake calipers (recommended for cold regions).


Every Two Years

  • Cabin filter: Replace the cabin air filter (every three years for Model S and Model X).


Every Three Years

  • HEPA filter: Replace the HEPA and carbon filters (every two years for the Cybertruck).


Every Four Years
