Depending on local regulations, Tesla vehicles periodically may need to undergo inspection or be taken to a third-party test centre to have their test evaluation and certification. This website contains Tesla-specific details aimed to facilitate the inspection such as VIN locations, jacking points, settings for free wheeling and how to complete the brake tests.

Torque Calculator Values

T1 (Original torque spec)

L (Distance from center of wrench grip to center of square drive tang)

E (Horizontal distance from center of square drive tang to center of fastener)

Note

If the angle from the extension to the torque wrench is greater than 90° (Figure 2), input E as a positive number.
If the angle from the extension to the torque wrench is less than 90° (Figure 3), input E as a negative number.
If the angle from the extension to the torque wrench is exactly 90°, this calculator is not needed. Torque the fastener to T1.
