Repairs and Replacements
Parts
Tesla does not allow the use of any used, recycled, alternative, aftermarket, or third-party replacement parts. Use only new parts ordered directly from Tesla.
Note the following:
- Safety features and corrosion prevention treatments embodied in the vehicle may be impaired if non Tesla recommended parts are used.
- Torque wrench setting figures given in this Manual must be used.
- Locking devices, where specified, must be fitted. If the efficiency of a locking device is impaired during removal, it must be replaced.
- The terms of the vehicle warranty may be invalidated by the fitting of parts other than Tesla recommended parts.
All Tesla recommended parts have the full backing of the vehicle warranty.
Tesla Stores are obligated to supply only Tesla recommended parts.
