The Tesla Warranty and Its Importance
Tesla’s warranty stipulates that a Tesla-certified electrician must install the wall connector to maintain warranty coverage. Deviating from this requirement voids your car and charger warranty if damage to your vehicle comes from your improperly installed charger, leaving you responsible for repair costs.
Repairing or replacing components in your Tesla will cost you a pretty penny without warranty coverage. Choosing a Tesla-certified installer ensures your warranty remains intact, saving you money in the long run.
If you’re buying a $40,000-$100,000 car, put $1,000-$4,000 towards having your Tesla car charger installed properly to protect your investment in the long term.
The Role of a Tesla-Certified Installer
A Tesla-certified electrician is constantly staying up to date on Tesla’s products and recommendations.
When an electrician goes through the Tesla certification application and training process, they go out of their way to commit to your satisfaction by installing your Tesla car charger correctly.
Access to Tesla’s Network
The field of electric vehicle charging is evolving rapidly, with new technologies and standards emerging regularly.
Tesla offers ongoing support and updates to Tesla-certified electricians, so you’ll never be left in the dark regarding your Tesla car charger.
Tesla offers certified electricians exclusive access to their products, tools, and equipment, which means the potential for early access or special pricing on Tesla products for you.
The Risks of Choosing an Unqualified Installer
Unqualified installers lack the expertise required to install your Tesla wall charger correctly. This leads to electrical issues, safety hazards, and even damage to your vehicle.
Choosing an unqualified installer voids your warranty, costing you more money if you try to take this “cheaper” route.
