Tesla

Can you tune a Tesla?

Not with an engine remap, and we would rather tell you that than sell you something that does not exist. Tesla keeps its drive unit and battery software closed and updates it over the air, so there is no calibration for us to read out, rewrite and put back the way there is on a combustion car. Anyone offering you a Tesla "remap" should be able to tell you exactly which control unit they are writing to and how. Ask them.

What we do instead is the work that genuinely makes a difference on these cars, and we hold 36 Tesla variants on file so we know the specification of the car in front of us.

Servicing and MOT

Manufacturer-schedule servicing, brake fluid, filters, coolant and MOT, done to keep the car right without a main dealer bill. Electric cars still need maintaining; they just need less of it.

Diagnostics

Fault finding, health checks and stored fault codes read properly rather than guessed at. If something is wrong we tell you what it is and what it will take, before you commit to anything.

Suspension and handling

Lowering springs, coilovers, wheels and geometry. These are heavy cars and the standard setup is set up soft; this is where the money actually changes how the car drives.

Brakes, tyres and cosmetics

Pads and discs that cope with the weight, the right tyres for the car, and styling work. All of it on cars we see every week rather than as a one-off.

Questions

Tesla, asked and answered

Can you remap a Tesla?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Tesla keeps its drive unit software closed and updates it over the air, so there is no file for us to read out and rewrite. What we do is servicing, diagnostics, MOT, suspension, brakes and styling.

Which electric cars can you actually tune?

The Porsche Taycan and the Audi e-tron GT, which share the same platform and control software. A Taycan 4 goes from 475hp to 730hp and an e-tron GT from 530hp to 730hp. Those are the only EVs we hold calibrations for, and we have written up the figures for every version.

Do you service a Tesla?

Yes, to the manufacturer schedule, along with MOT, brake and coolant work and diagnostics. Electric cars need less servicing than a combustion car but they still need it, and there is no reason it has to be done at a main dealer.

What is worth doing to a Tesla then?

Suspension is the honest answer. These are heavy cars set up softly from the factory, so springs, coilovers, wheels and a proper geometry setup change how the car drives far more than any software would. Brakes and tyres matter for the same reason.

Will you charge me to look at it?

We quote before we start. If you describe the fault we will tell you what diagnosis costs and what it is likely to be, and we will say if we think it is a main dealer or warranty job rather than take the work.
