FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does upgrading my Tesla void the factory warranty?
NO, Federal Law prohibits such actions
Federal Warranty Law: The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))
The Magnuson-Moss Act regulates that vehicle manufacturers may NOT refuse warranty repairs merely because aftermarket parts have been installed on the vehicle. The only circumstance under which the vehicle manufacturer can void the warranties is when they can prove the aftermarket part is directly responsible for (ie causes the warranty) the warranty claim.
Our upgrades do not void your factory warranty. However, Tesla is not obligated to service aftermarket parts. For example, let’s say you have our new automatic lighted handles or aftermarket lowering springs installed on your Tesla. If an issue arose, we would be the ones to warranty/service the upgraded parts, not Tesla. All of our upgrades are backed by a warranty, so you have nothing to worry about.
Your original Tesla vehicle warranty is not voided by installing aftermarket parts. We’ve installed upgrades on countless Teslas, and our customers have never had any issues at the Tesla service center regarding warranty claims. In fact, the local Tesla service centers here in Arizona admire the work we do and appreciate the quality of service we provide to customers.

Do you offer a warranty on the products and services you offer?
Of course! We offer and install high quality products and stand behind our work. Your installation comes with a warranty so no need to worry
Does Tesla Software updates affect the functionality of the upgrades installed on my car?
No, they are not affected by software updates. Most of our upgrades simply use the 12v-16v power in the vehicle, just like installing a radio or sound system in a non-Tesla vehicle. We only have a few upgrades that connect directly to the Tesla computer system, and we’ve never had any issues with software updates affecting the functionality.
In the rare case that this ever happens, your install is warrantied and you could just bring the vehicle in and we’d take care of it.
If I sell my car do I need to remove the upgrades?
It’s not required, but this is something you would have to decide on. Upgrades can add value to your car and make it more appealing, especially when selling to a private party. 99% of Teslas on the road look and function the same way they did from the factory, so people will appreciate that you have invested in adding new features to the car.

How much do upgrades cost?
It all depends on which service you choose. We have upfront pricing, so there’s no need to “request a quote” or call in. Every upgrade listed on our website has the installation price on the page.
Can I see a demonstration before I get an upgrade!?
Of course! We have Teslas in our shop that have the upgrades listed on our website. You can set an appointment to come in and see a demo of our services.

Thank you Kornell, I will be seeing you again soon 🤞Kevin HensonMay 31, 2024.I just had my new 2024 Tesla Model Y upgraded by Distinct Teslas. The owner Kornell, is a master mind in all things Tesla. I had my rear lights changed, added a screen behind my steering wheel, add a sun roof power shade, a rear touch screen, interior lighting, front LED fog lights, rear live feed mirror, and pop out power door handles. Distinct Teslas are professional and extremely knowledgeable about what they specialize in (Your car)... If you want your Tesla to stand out, call Kornell at Distinct Tesla.Gary TRAYLORMay 23, 2024.My wife and I bought our Tesla Model Y about one year ago. If you own a Tesla, you know that the Car is fun to drive and built for the future. People say it’s like driving around on an iPhone and I really can’t disagree. That said, Tesla cars are expensive, but also lacking in upgrades that most cars in this price range have from the beginning. The obvious features missing include (Interior Lighting, Quality Paint, Head-up displays, and Custom Ventilated Seats just to name a few). This brings me to my review for Distinct Teslas. You can’t start a review of this company without mentioning Kornell, the owner. From the moment I started my quest to improve and upgrade my Tesla, Kornell was on top of his game. The website is polished and has plenty of options to choose from. Also, pricing is clearly listed with no hidden fees. Every bit of communication with Kornell by Phone, Text or Email was smooth, prompt and informative. For our Model Y, we opted for the full Interior lighting package, Tesla hood badge and black Tesla trunk letters. We wanted our Tesla to stand out from the other and boy does it ever. The Install took less than a day and Kornell communicated with us every step of the way. Plain and simple, Kornell is a legit business man who is great at what he does and most important, honest. His work shop is clean and organized (he has a nice waiting are with snacks and even tops off your battery). If you are looking to upgrade your Tesla Model Y,3,X,S or even the new Cybertruck (and honestly you should), look no further than Distinct Teslas in Chandler, AZ. You can feel confident that your experience will be fantastic with Distinct Teslas, and Kornell will stand firmly behind his work. This is easily one of my best decisions since moving to the Phoenix area 10 years ago and I will certainly be back for more upgrades on my Tesla. 5 stars is not enough and would give 10 stars if I could!Mark EulerMay 17, 2024."Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service I received from Kornell at Distinct Teslas!
