Collision Information Website Access: Tesla

Why do I need a subscription to an OEM website if I have full subscription access to the I-CAR Repairability Technical Support (RTS) portal? This is a question received on a regular basis through Ask I-CAR. Let’s take a look at why and how to purchase an OEM subscription.

With your RTS subscription, you gain access to a research department in your company for the hard to find information and on the information that needs clarification. While we can't send out vehicle maker repair procedures, (due to copyright laws) we can let you know if the information exists before you spend hours and money only to find out that the information does not exist.

Tesla offers Collision Procedures and Service Information for free and without a registered user account. To purchase a subscription to Diagnostic Software for access to Toolbox 3 Diagnostic Software and Standalone HV Shipping Evaluation Tool:

  1. Go to service.tesla.com
