Bay Area ADAS Calibration

Tesla vehicles are a marvel of modern engineering, but they are, nevertheless, still subject to the laws of physics. So when it comes to brake rotors, even though they last much longer on a Tesla, eventually they will need to be replaced. The frequency of Tesla brake rotors replacement will depend on the kind of driving you do – do you brake hard or do you let regenerative braking do most of the work? Do you take your Tesla into the mountains in winter?  Both California and Nevada use salt on the roads during winter, which dramatically accelerates rust and corrosion. If you take your Tesla to the ocean, the humidity in the air can accelerate corrosion as well. While some sources claim that your Tesla can go 100,000 miles between rotor replacements, Tesla recommends yearly caliper cleaning and lubrication – we highly recommend following this schedule – when we perform caliper cleaning and lubrication, we can also visually inspect brakes for grooves or scoring, f ... read more

9 million visits at Firestone centers were analyzed and the results were surprising, to say the least. 42% of vehicles visiting Firestone locations had underinflated tires. The vehicle with the highest rate? Tesla. According to Firestone, 47% of Tesla vehicles had underinflated tires. You may think that underinflated tires are an insignificant issue, but the range of problems that can be caused by underinflated tires is quite broad. They are even more pronounced for Tesla vehicles, since their weight puts an extra strain on the suspension system and the tires. The list of possible problems caused by underinflated tires includes: Decreased mileage Less stability when making emergency maneuvers Longer braking distance Premature need for tire replacement due to uneven tire wear Increased risk of tire blowouts Suspension system stress Driving in the snow: greater risk of skidding Driving in the rain with underinflated tires increases risk of hydroplaning At TechZone Automotive Tec ... read more
