Important Personal Safety and Vehicle Repair Information | Tesla Service

Especially with the internet, you should always try to find original source information for yourself.
Don't ask a complete stranger for information when you can read the manual for yourself. Makes sense?
Well, I hope this helps those owners [or would be owner] to find useful information, a place to start your research.

good luck.

...good luck...

Registration is only for Massachusetts.

Thus, if I can have all the money in the world, I still can't buy any subscription to access a service manual (because I am not in Massachusetts).

The other way to circumvent that restriction is to place an advertisement and recruit a Massachusetts resident to register and buy me a service manual.

But if I can do that then that means I have all the money in the world.

And if I have all the money in the world, then I might as well just fly to Massachusetts and do that myself!

But if I have all the money in the world, then I might not have to I nickel and dime with Service Center and I might as well skipping the flying to Massachusetts to get the service manual!

Suggest you read the 7 page Terms first - you may not agree to the Terms - see number (3.) below

The world changes fast now days. Sorry no nickel and dimes, min. $100 + taxes (no free lunch)
Perhaps you should try again and let us know the problems. Is your warranty up? Salvage car? used car?

have fun. (sample of the terms - perhaps you could point out the problems of these Terms?

...just plain wrong...

I mean to apply the situation to where I live which is in the U.S. and I happen to live in California, not Massachesetts, not other countries.

Sure, if I have all the money in the world, I could fly the many countries and not just Massachusetts such as European Economic Area, Switzerland, Netherlands...

Just to understand the logic, just because Tesla allows registration to many countries, many languages, can I in California also buy Tesla service manual?

YES, just do it.

 

[Tam]

YES, just do it.

Brando,

I've been trying hard: Out of 50 U.S. states, it only allows me to choose Massachusetts and the other 49 states are missing.

I see you are in WA. Are you able to pull down the State option and change Massachusetts to any other state such as WA?

So sorry. You are completely correct - only allows Massachusetts !!
WTF ??

 

[Tam]

...WTF ??

Like you said: "just a start".

It's a good start for 1 state in the U.S.!

The other 49 states will just have to wait and be at the mercy of Tesla's timeline.

Hopefully, the rollout schedule will be soon but Tesla "soon" could be years and years!

 

[SageBrush]

Does Tesla actually block a download to outside of MA ?
And by the way, I'm not sure that Model 3 information is available.

This isn't just a start. This is Tesla's policy and has been this way for years. They only allow access because MA has a 'Right to Repair' law that forces Tesla to allow access. Tesla won't be allowing anyone else access unless they are legally forced too.

There is an S service manual floating around the seedier parts of the internet though if you need it.

You need a credit card with a billing address in MA. They used to require a picture of a MA drivers license too, not sure if that is still the case.

Hi All,

I don't know if you have seen them but there are service, wiring, and parts CD/DVD for Tesla S and X on eBay.

They seem reasonably priced and from the outside they look authentic.

Use the eBay search for "Tesla service manual."

It is not me selling them. I just offer the suggestion to look and for you to make your own decision.

I don't like the idea of paying for something that someone else stole.

 

[ShawnA]

Hi Jaguar36,

I agree... I did not realize that they were stolen or probably illegally copied.

Scratch that idea...

The service.teslamotors.com site is now available to all U.S. residents (though you still have to pay for a subscription). It was formerly only available to residents of Massachusetts.

The only downside is the fairly high price for the subscription, but the content does get updated pretty much every week (including improvements to older procedures, not just new additions), which is something that you'll miss if you buy something off eBay that was downloaded who-knows-how-long ago and illegally offered for sale.

 

[Ivan 77]

Guess the subscription still does not provide Toolbox access? How you guys in US deal with 2nd hand parts - FW deployment; calibration? E.g. to replace a handle that costs $150 second-hand Tesla Service will quote probably above $1000.

 

[psyched]

Toolbox site is only for approved bodyshops but in my opinion this is a discrimination of independent operators.

 

[Ivan 77]

Yes, agree! There should be a separate certification for Toolbox only - non-body works. This would be a major issue when cars grow older - Tesla imposes (one way or another) using only new parts, which I understand, but on the other hand there's no good alternative. I'm thinking about such while the endless discussions with Tesla Support ref. to my not working MCU goes First available service date - 27 Aug and $4k+

Someone knows for sure if this is still the case?

Only saw a video where someone actually got Toolbox download links after logging into service account (most probably bodyshop access)
