Tesla Model S Service Repair Workshop Manuals

Tesla is an American automobile manufacturing company that exclusively produces electric vehicles. The Model S was introduced in 2012 and is the company’s best selling vehicle. The Tesla Model S service manual breaks down the regular service and complex repairs owners can accomplish in simple to understand steps.

The Model S is a five door, lift back sedan produced by Tesla and sold worldwide. The Model S has a stated range of 370 miles, more than any other electric vehicle on the market today. Founder Elon Musk says that the average driver will see comfortable ranges exceeding 250 miles. Only the Nissan Leaf has sold more electric vehicles. The Model S became the first electric vehicle sold to exceed 1 million miles driven.

Unlike most all-electric vehicles that utilize a single battery, Tesla uses more than 7,000 Lithium-Ion battery cells in a unique configuration that greatly reduces center of gravity, balances weight and increases passenger safety. In addition, because the battery pack is mounted on the bottom of the car, the entire unit can be removed in 90 seconds for maintenance. Battery packs are warrantied for 8 years.

Electric vehicles are well-known for the capacity to accelerate quickly, and the Model S is no different. Tesla incorporates driver-selectable modes that include “Insane Speed” and “Ludicrous Speed” which can allow a Model S with the largest battery pack available to achieve 0-60 times in a mere 2.8 seconds. The model S boasts the lowest drag coefficient of any production vehicle, one of the features that led to the Model S achieving high range mileage.

Despite the relative complexity of electric motors, battery packs and a range of space-age technology, the Model S is not a difficult vehicle to maintain when using a Tesla Model S workshop manual. The manual explains in detail how the electric motors function, and describes in detail the procedures needed to test, inspect and replace defective components, making the Model S an easy car for the do it yourself home mechanic to work on.
