In the future, Tesla will only be able to enter the workshop as needed, without violating the warranty conditions. The electric car manufacturer evaluated according to one Report from CNet Data from previous years and found that the vehicles wear less than previously thought. Therefore, Tesla goes from its annual service to a program in which cars would only need maintenance if a part replacement was needed. However, the brake fluid continues to be checked every two years for water pollution.

Electric cars wear less than burners. The vehicles manage with fewer parts, and the brake is usually needed less often because the recuperation can also be used for deceleration. Teslas also has an internet connection and remote diagnostics capabilities.

Although Tesla does not want to offer any prepaid maintenance plans anymore, it fulfills all previously entered contractual obligations. Representatives of the company pointed out, according to CNet, that the change in service methodology has nothing to do with the warranty. The change in service methodology is likely to relieve Tesla service centers, which were sometimes overburdened.

In addition, that comes Customer Referral Program back in a different form. At the beginning of the year, all incentives were canceled, but Tesla came up with something new. The rewards are a bit more extravagant: Monthly a Model Y and every three months a Roadster 2.0 will be raffled. Company founder Elon Musk and chief designer Franz von Holzhausen will sign all the cars. For a referral, there is a lot for the monthly and the quarterly raffle. Each advertiser and recipient will also receive free electricity for 1,600 km on the Supercharger. All sales of new vehicles except Model Y are eligible.
