As an owner of electric vehicles, we enjoy the fact that less maintenance and repairs are required. There are, however, essential maintenance tasks to follow for the long-lasting reliability of your Tesla. Many owners probably bring the vehicle to a service station, tire shop, or dealer to have the appropriate work done. Others are more hands-on or are embracing the do-it-yourself, DIY lifestyle. With the internet providing extensive knowledge and information, owners can do numerous repairs and maintenance at home.

Of course, it requires specific tools to safely and correctly complete the work. Some tasks, such as wiper replacement, air cabin filter, or applying paint protection film (PPF), need only essential tools. However, maintenance such as tire rotation, brakes, skid plate replacement, or a seasonal tire change, like summer to winter tires, requires additional equipment. For example, a lug nut socket, breaker bar, torque wrench, and hydraulic jack are needed when performing tire work. For those who like to do these jobs, a reliable hydraulic jack is a must-have. We recently reviewed the Schwaben low-profile, heavy-duty jack from EVANNEX that is ideal for all your work on your Tesla. Check out our review here:
