Why is my Tesla battery charging slower and not holding a charge as long?
Tesla vehicles can experience battery degradation due to factors such as frequent fast charging, high temperatures, and extensive mileage. Warning signs of battery degradation include reduced driving range, slower charging times, and the battery not holding a charge as well as it used to. To repair battery degradation, our Tesla professionals may replace individual battery cells or modules, recalibrate the battery management system, or replace the entire battery pack if necessary. Tesla batteries are complex and require specialized knowledge and equipment to handle safely. Our professional Tesla technicians are trained to diagnose and repair battery issues accurately, ensuring your vehicle's performance and safety are maintained. Attempting DIY repairs on a Tesla battery can be dangerous due to the high voltage involved and may void the vehicle's warranty. If you experience any battery related issues in your Tesla rely on the licensed technicians at NextGen to address these issues effectively and safely.
Why is it getting harder to steer my Tesla?
Power steering issues are quite common in Tesla vehicles. Warning signs include increased steering effort, especially at low speeds, unusual noises when turning the wheel, and dashboard warning lights. The top reasons for these warnings are issues such as software glitches, overstressed printed circuit boards, or faulty components in the electronic power-assisted steering (EPAS) system. Tesla's power steering system is complex and requires specialized equipment and training to handle safely. To repair power steering issues, professional Tesla Mechanics may update the vehicle's software, replace faulty components, or address any underlying electrical problems. Attempting these repairs on your own can be risky, as improper handling can lead to further damage or safety hazards. NextGen has the equipment and training to get your Tesla driving and turning smoothly again.
Why are my Tesla’s tires vibrating while I drive?
Your Tesla’s tires have a higher chance for wear and tear due to the weight of the model, high torque, and potential aggressive driving habits due to the acceleration system. Warning signs include the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) alert, visible tire damage, uneven tire wear, and vibrations while driving. The team at NextGen is trained to repair and replace tires on your Tesla. We start by inspecting your tires for damage, checking and adjusting tire pressure, and then performing necessary repairs or replacements. It is important to use a licensed Tesla tire repair and replacement center due to the specialized nature of the driving system. When working on Tesla tires, it's important to use the correct jack points and puck pads to avoid damaging the battery. Additionally, Tesla-approved tires are marked with a "T" and are designed to optimize performance, safety, and efficiency while often including features like sound-absorbing foam to reduce road noise. If you experience any issues with your Tesla model’s tires stop by NextGen Car Care for fast and reliable service.
Why are squeaking and clunking noises when I drive my Tesla?
Your Tesla model can experience suspension problems due to factors such as wear and tear on components like control arms, fore and aft links, and bolts. Frequent driving on rough roads or exposure to extreme weather conditions can also contribute to suspension issues. Warning signs include unusual noises like squeaking or clunking, uneven tire wear, and a rough or unstable ride. To repair suspension problems, the professionals at NextGen typically inspect and replace damaged components, such as control arms, air springs, or compressors. We have the proper equipment and specialized knowledge to diagnose and repair the complex suspension issues in your Tesla. Keeping your suspension in good working condition ensures your safety while driving and any issues should be addressed immediately. Call us at NextGen Car Care immediately if you believe there is a problem with your Tesla’s suspension.
Where can I get my Tesla inspected?
All vehicles must pass yearly NYS inspections, even your Tesla. Yearly inspections are not only legally required, but they help ensure your vehicle is safe by indicating potential recalls and checking for common problems. The best place to get a Tesla model inspection in New York is by a licensed mechanic who not only can run the tests, but can address any issues that are discovered. NextGen Car Care is the leading Tesla inspection center in the Clinton area. We have the knowledge, skills, and capability to inspect and provide routine maintenance, such as oil changes, for your Tesla.
What can I do about paint chips and signs of rust on my Tesla?
It is common for Tesla vehicles to experience paint quality issues due to factors such as thin paint layers, insufficient primer, and environmental exposure. Warning signs include paint thinning, chipping, peeling, and fading, which can detract from the vehicle's appearance and lead to rusting especially in the harsh upstate New York area. Regularly check your wheels, the wheel wells, bumpers, fenders, and rear quarter panels for signs of rust. Keeping these areas clean and dry is a great way to prevent rust from starting, and catching it early is the best way to avoid costly repairs. If you have space in your garage we recommend keeping your Tesla there to avoid the elements. Regular washing, and waxing, along with ceramic coatings and underbody sealant can help prevent moisture from collecting and causing rust. These rust prevention activities are especially important during the winter when roads are salted here in New York State. NextGen Car Care offers a full rust prevention service specifically designed to keep your Tesla rust-free and looking great.
