Delphi has hosted the first-ever ‘Tesla Service and Maintenance’ course at its recently expanded training centre in Warwick, using the latest manufacturers data and training methods.
With Tesla reportedly accounting for one in five electric vehicles (EVs) on UK roads and many more expected to be delivered in the coming months and years, Delphi believes workshops should be prepared to meet the growing demand.
Luke Garratt, UK Technical Services Manager at Delphi, said: “There are 85,000 additional Teslas entering the aftermarket within the next two years. As these cars begin to arrive in independent garages, it’s crucial for technicians to understand the unique Tesla service and maintenance needs.
“We’ve developed this new course to provide the practical knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to confidently work on Teslas.”
Participants will engage in hands-on, practical tasks, teaching essential Tesla service techniques, helping them stay competitive in the growing EV market. The course covers operating Tesla’s service mode, accessing service documents, performing air conditioning and battery services, brake work, tyre repair and replacement, and Tesla-specific wheel alignment and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) calibration.
Luke continued: “As both an OE and aftermarket manufacturer, we are increasing our efforts to support workshops. Our trainers are seasoned technicians with hands-on workshop experience, ensuring our courses reflect real-world situations, practical scenarios, and diagnostic techniques.”
The next ‘Tesla Service and Maintenance’ course will take place on November 10th at Delphi Academy in Warwick.
