Maintain And Increase The Value, Look, And Performance Of Your New Tesla

You have finally pulled the trigger and bought that brand-new Tesla. But a new luxury vehicle is only as good as how well you maintain it. If you want to make sure that your new Tesla always has that fresh off-the-lot look and feel, you need to put in the work to ensure your car lives up to the hype of such a sophisticated brand. You are getting in on something that is the definition of luxury so treating it like any other car is not exactly going to keep it ‘fresh’ or safe, so as well as these following ways below you are going to need to look into how you can keep it safe at home, like putting it in your garage and hooking up alarm system homes equipment which will make it as safe as possible. You do not want to buy a Tesla and then lose a Tesla in the same breath.

 

Built-In Perks Of A New Tesla

While day-to-day maintenance of other cars can seem like a chore, your new Tesla actually comes with a couple of built-in perks that many other luxury vehicles do not have. Namely, since Tesla’s are one hundred percent electric, you do not have to worry about traditional oil changes, fuel filter or spark plug replacements, or emission checks.

Still, some maintenance is required, but Tesla, being the sophisticated brand that it is, has put together a one-stop-shop for most minor issues that you can easily do yourself. This can save countless hours that one may have to spend taking a less sophisticated brand to the dealership for tune-ups.

Without the hassle of the day-to-day maintenance other luxury vehicles may have, as a Tesla owner you are free to focus on targeting enhanced performance and look. By doing so, not only will it make driving your Tesla more fun, but it will also increase its value.

 

Improving The Performance Of Your New Tesla

If you want to increase the precision of any car, and keep that smooth driving feel years after your drive off the lot, it starts with making sure you have the right tires for what kind of driving you prefer.

The factory default for a Tesla is typically a Michelin tire, but once you get in the driver’s seat and start taking her for a ride, you may find that the tire you originally thought would work best isn’t optimal for your driving tendencies.

To help, Michelin has an excellent site that outlines the best tire for your Tesla depending on the model and type of driving you do. Smooth driving depends critically on matching the tire to your driving style, so this is not the place to skimp. Check out your tire options here.

While the actual tire will improve the feel of your driving, you also want to make sure your rims do not get too scratched up and detract from the value of your car. To help, it’s a solid idea to invest in rim protectors so your tires always have the look of the luxury vehicle you paid for.

At Exclusive Detail, we can also help you with wheel customization and maintenance to further enhance the performance based on your personal driving style.

 

Optimizing The Look Of Your New Tesla

Much of the Value of Tesla comes from its sleek and futuristic look, but that does not mean there is no room for improvement. If you want to increase that exclusive look and feel only a luxury vehicle can bring, investing in these three items is a critical step:

 

  1. Window Tinting
  2. Detailing
  3. Paint Protection


Window tinting is an excellent feature for any car. It can improve the longevity of the interior of your car and adds a sense of style. Not only that, it also adds privacy and a sense of exclusivity to anyone who rides in your car.

 

Aside from the aesthetic benefits, properly tinted windows help to maintain the interior of your car, while also improving your driving experience. Tinted windows help to limit the amount of harmful UV rays that make it into the interior of your car, thus preserving the value of your investment.

Additionally, a window with improved tinting is less likely to shatter if you are in a crash. This can be a life-saving feature as flying glass is one of the most dangerous projectiles that could hit you or your family if you are ever in an automobile accident.


  • Detailing For New Teslas

While you may not have to take your Tesla into the shop for those routine oil changes every 3 months, you should consider using those savings for semi-regular auto detailing. However, not all car detailers are the same. For a sophisticated brand like Tesla, you want to find an auto detailer that specializes in high-end vehicles – check out somewhere like this Car Detailing Cairns company, for example.

 

The detailing process should be focused not just on getting your car clean, but on enhancing and preserving the quality of your entire car’s appearance, both inside and outside. An average gas station car wash may seem like the cheap and easy solution, but if you want to preserve that new car look and feel, investing in premium detailing is a must.


While premium detailing is nice for removing some of the wear and tear of everyday driving. If you are serious about preserving and improving the value of a Tesla, the best additional investment you can make is in a premium paint protection plan.

You cannot beat the look of a car right when it rolls off the lot. But eventually, the paint will fade. Having to repaint your car can get expensive. It is a much smarter and more cost-effective approach to protect that original paint job than fixing mistakes later on. There may also be instances when the coating corrodes, in which case you will need to take the car to one of the blast rooms & spray booths to have the spray paint applied.

Paint protection systems are a critical component of preserving your luxury vehicle’s paint job. Premium Paint Protection adds protective film (Tesla PPF) that can absorb potential damage to your car’s paint job like rocks, road debris, bird droppings, bug splatter, UV rays, acid rain, etc.

But again, this is a job you want to trust to the experts that will ensure that it lasts and looks the best. Only specialized installers will provide a top-of-the-line paint protection system to your car based on what is best for your specific car make and model.

If you want to keep that fresh off-the-lot shine to your brand-new Tesla, you need a High-End Paint protection plan.

 

Increasing The Value Of Your New Tesla

There are very few cars that turn heads more than a new Tesla passing you on a highway or parked beside you. The best thing you can do for such a status symbol is make sure you take the necessary steps to maintain and improve upon the value, look, and performance of such a sophisticated brand.
