Drive unit bearing replacement

If you hear strange sounds from the motor when you press the accelerator or when it is idle, this may be a signal that you need to replace the drive unit bearing. It is advisable to change the bearing than to buy and install a used motor, as the used motor may have the same problem.

Reduction gear oil flush

Many Tesla owners erroneously think they don't need to change the motor's oil and oil filters. This is not true. The oil in the motor gearbox needs to be changed regularly. We recommend changing the oil every 50,000 miles. Else, if you don't change the gear oil frequently, it will cause friction and grinding of gear components, consequently resulting in unnecessary wear and costly repairs.
