Common problems and easy repairs on a 2018 3

The 2018 Tesla Model 3 is a very difficult car to maintain and is only recommended for those with intricate knowledge of all-electric vehicles. The engine components are hidden beneath large panels in the front of the vehicle, for which many fasteners must be disengaged before they can be removed. All of the lights on this vehicle are LED, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes should any of them ever burn out. Changing the wiper blades will be a problem as you must engage their service position and use a tool to remove them.

However, the 2018 Tesla Model 3 has some upsides. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth won’t be a problem thanks to the clear instructions on the large touchscreen menu. The open access to the washer fluid reservoir will you to reliably monitor the fluid level. Attaching a child seat is simple thanks to unobstructed anchor points.
