Parts, Accessories, and
Modifications
Use only genuine Tesla parts and accessories.
Tesla performs rigorous testing on parts to
ensure their suitability, safety, and reliability.
Purchase these parts from Tesla, where they
are professionally installed and where you can
receive expert advice about
modifications to
Model S.
Tesla is unable to assess parts manufactured
by other distributors and therefore accepts no
responsibility if you use non-Tesla parts on
Model S.
Warning: Installing non-approved parts
and accessories, or performing non-
approved modifications, can aect the
performance of Model S and the safety of
its occupants. Any damage caused by
using or installing non-approved parts, or
by performing non-approved
modifications, is not covered by the
warranty.
Warning: Tesla does not accept liability
for death, personal injury or damage that
occurs if you use or install non-approved
accessories or make non-approved
modifications.
Body Repairs
If Model S is in a collision, contact Tesla to
ensure that it is repaired with genuine Tesla
parts. Tesla has selected and approved body
shops that meet strict requirements for
training, equipment, quality, and customer
satisfaction.
Some repair shops and insurance companies
might suggest using non-original equipment
or salvaged parts to save money. However,
these parts do not meet Tesla's high standards
for quality,
fit and corrosion resistance. In
addition, non-original equipment and salvaged
parts (and any damage or failures they might
cause) are not covered by the warranty.
Using RFID Transponders
Model S has a metallic coating on the
windshield that can interfere with signals sent
from RFID transponders used by many toll
systems. Most Model S vehicles, depending on
date of manufacture, include an area in the
windshield in which the metallic coating is cut
out to accommodate transponders. This area,
located on the right side of the rear view
mirror, is the best location to mount an
transponder. If your vehicle does not include
this cut out area, mount the transponder to
the rear window.
Note: You can also attach a weather-proof
transponder on the front license plate or
behind the nose cone (for details on how to
remove the nose cone, see Instructions for
Transporters on page 172).
