My man, change your drivetrain oil. Call me old fashioned but vehicles should last longer than 8 years. This “lifetime transmission” stuff is hogwash. I have a 5 year old ICE car that I plan on changing it’s transmission oil and filter…in about 3 years.
Your drivetrain is made out of actual materials. Not some marvel movie space metal. It will shed some metal into the oil when it moves. You don’t want to drive around with grit soap for lube.
Dude, this is utterly ridiculous nonsense and no one should be having their Tesla motor drive units cracked open to change lubricants. Not only does it void the 120k mile warranty, but it proves you have no experience with them.
You may as well be telling me to have my rear diff rebuilt on an MX-5 after 10,000 miles.
No, I don’t have experience working on Teslas, you didn’t address my concerns though. My concern is with ANY moving part. I don’t need to be an Tesla certified engineer to tell you fluids that keeps things moving, cool, clean need to be changed at some point in time.
If that amount is what’s normal for them than then that’s fine, that’s why I said to check your owners manual.
If the mileage is that low for your mx-5 then that’s probably warranty if your rear diff does need rebuilt. So that is good news.
