Tesla review: are specialized centers able to treat an electric car?
“CObvious compliments, but I’ll gladly give them to you. I have reached the Fourth year of owning my Tesla and I must face the review. I’m a little worried about putting an electric car in the hands of a Revision Center, accustomed to dealing with thermal cars, given the tests to be carried out to pass the test. As an example the roller bench. Tesla does not appear to have any approved testing centres, nor does it have any indications to give for dealing with the review. There are actual differences between thermal and electric cars, or precautions to be taken by those carrying out the tests of review? Thank you very much for your attention and for the information service you provide“. Andrew
Here’s how it works (and what’s best to be careful about)
Answer. The overhaul of an electric obviously lacks everything relating to exhaust gases, the rest is identical, just as it is identical (unfortunately) the price. And it concerns: 1) Horn. 2) Brakes. 3) Emergency brake (handbrake). 4) Underbody – suspensions. 5) Headlights. Not having much experience in the matter, we asked our friend for help Guido BaccarinI, also a Tesla owner, always well informed. And next for review: “I too have a minimum of concern about a single aspect: the handbrake, which consists of the lever button on the right steering wheel, which acts as an emergency brake. It must be explained. Besides having to explain to the guy how do you turn this on or to the fact that the accelerator “foot”. it should be moderate in the braking test. That is, the one that consists of leaving from 5 meters back to the footboard and brake ON the footboard: the risk is that, accustomed to the acceleration of normal cars…“. Final gloss: “As a precaution, I will make an effort to use the brakes thoroughly a few days beforehand, given that there is a real possibility that are rusty…”
