9 NEW WAYS TO RUIN YOUR TESLA

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive guide on nine common mistakes that can lead to damaging or voiding the warranty on a Tesla. The presenter emphasizes crucial practices such as avoiding charging to 100% (with an exception for LFP Model 3 batteries), never draining the battery to 0%, and consistently using "Hold" mode for regenerative braking to maximize efficiency and minimize brake wear. The review also highlights the importance of gentle handling when closing the hood and doors, using only mild cleaners on vegan leather seats, and refraining from using autopilot bypass devices. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the risks associated with aftermarket hardware and software modifications, which can void the warranty and lead to costly repairs, as demonstrated by the presenter's personal experience with a suspension upgrade. The core message is to adhere to Tesla's recommended usage and maintenance guidelines to preserve the vehicle's longevity and warranty coverage.
