Tesla 1

Two-Days | Beginner Level

Course Description

This two-day, hands-on workshop assumes little to no experience diagnosing and repairing Tesla vehicles. As always with Earthling classes, class size is limited to a maximum of 4 students. We will have multiple Teslas to work on.

Benefits

Many aspects of Tesla operation and service may be unfamiliar to most of us, and one outcome of this course is to give you the tools to be able to communicate knowledgeably and effectively with Tesla owners about their vehicles, regardless of model. Another feature of the course is a walk through Tesla maintenance, how to acquire service information, ordering parts, and necessary tooling.

Learning Objectives

Learning objectives include:

  • Creating a service account to access Tesla service information

  • How Tesla vehicles are similar and different from other EVs

  • OEM service info strengths, weaknesses, and workarounds

  • Diagnosing using Tesla Toolbox, Service Mode, and Service Mode Plus

  • Tesla maintenance intervals, requirements, and challenges

  • Creating a parts account, ordering parts, and ordering special tooling (SSTs)

  • High-voltage safety procedures that are specific to Tesla

  • Charging, supercharging, and pre-conditioning vs. other EVs

  • Real-world case studies from our shop

  • And much more

Course Length & Cost

This two-day, eight-hour per-day course is $1680 per student.

Trainee Testimonials

  • "Jack’s training is always good. Not a teacher/student environment but rather colleagues working together."

    Steve, Chabot College

  • “Jack has assembled one of the best put-together series of hybrid vehicle HV system/propulsion classes to date. The information has been broken down into an easily digestible format to make the students comfortable and confident with the knowledge that is easily absorbed."

    Brandon, San Francisco, CA

  • “[It] was beyond my expectations! I went to Toyota classes on these topics but Jack did a much better job. I won't forget it all when class is over! Hands-on troubleshooting of high-voltage issues was great and not usually covered anywhere else, even in Toyota factory classes."

    Rick, College of Alameda

  • “I walked into class not knowing anything about Teslas, but I left with a very good understanding of the servic einformation, maintenance intervals, safety procedures and the special tools required to work on these vehicles."

    Herbert, San Francisco, CA

  • “The class balanced theory and hands-on practice, keeping me and other participants engaged throughout both days. I am eager to further expand my knowledge by pursuing the Tesla training series offered by Earthling Automotive. "

    Mark, San Francisco
