400V (Cybertruck uses 800V subsystem)

Why use a Tesla specialist?
Tesla's closed diagnostic ecosystem means only shops with specialized tools and training can perform meaningful diagnostics beyond basic OBD-II. Battery management, drive unit service, and software updates all require Tesla-specific access.
