The 2017 Tesla Model S: Car diagnostics
For a diagnostic check on your 2017 Tesla Model S, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your Model S, have it ready for the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Model S. Its electric motor drives through a 1-speed automatic.
What to send us
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Let us know
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request car diagnostics
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
