For many drivers, Tesla electric cars are the pinnacle of automotive perfection. However, they require maintenance, just like any other car, and some can threaten the owner's financial well-being.

Battery

The most expensive component of any electric vehicle is the battery. Tesla's lithium-ion batteries usually last 10-20 years, but replacement can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000.

Touchscreen

The large central screen in a Tesla, which serves as both an infotainment system and control panel, comes at a high cost. Its repair can cost around $1,300.

Air Suspension

After 80,000-100,000 km of mileage, the air suspension may need maintenance or replacement. Depending on the model, the cost of such repairs can range from $1,500 to $5,000.

Drive Unit

This component converts the battery's energy into mechanical energy that powers the wheels. Its repair or replacement can cost between $1,200 and $3,500, and sometimes even more, especially if a bearing replacement is needed.

Windshield

Tesla's glass is equipped with numerous sensors. Its replacement requires not only installing special glass but also recalibrating the sensors, leading to high costs ranging from $575 to $3,400.

Tires

Tesla uses special tires designed with the weight and construction features of electric vehicles in mind. This makes them more expensive and complicated to replace. The cost of one tire can exceed $300-400.

Tesla electric cars, widely known for their excellence in automotive technology, may also require significant expenses for repairs and component replacements. The cost of such work can significantly impact the financial well-being of the owners of these cars, so it is essential to carefully consider all aspects of maintenance before purchasing.
