Tesla Maintenance

I am currently planning on doing the gearbox fluids on my my ID.4 at 50k and sending it off to Blackstone for analysis, need to order some jack stands and a few little tools to do the job but figure do it at 50k and see what the analysis says. Guessing 50k is too early but honestly this car needs so little else I am really just finding some reason to wrench on it outside of the easy peasy cabin filter and filling up the washer fluid.

I think your oil will come out just fine. Do you happen to have the VOA for that oil, or will you compare the thickness with the specced grade's range

I'll probably send the virgin fluid off as well for testing, planning on using whatever OEM fluid VWAG specs for the gearbox.

If you already know the exact product they did the factory fill with that would be great to see how much that oil has degraded over 50k miles. Though if it was me, I would probably skip the OA all together, and rather use that money to change the oil. A quick google search said the car uses about 2.5 liters of gear oil on AWD, and a mere 1L on FWD versions. OA costs as much as a full gear oil change But if you do the analysis and share it here with the forum, I am sure it would be appreciated
