Delphi Academy launches dedicated Tesla course

Delphi’s newly-expanded training centre in Warwick has held its first Tesla service and maintenance course, giving a critical insight into the vehicle’s unique tech support requirements.

The September 20 course outing, using the latest manufacturer data and training methods, came as Tesla now accounts for one in five EVs on UK roads — with many more expected to be delivered.

Participants receive hands-on experience with practical tasks that teach essential Tesla service techniques, helping them stay competitive in the growing EV market.

The course covers operating Tesla’s service mode, accessing service documents, performing air conditioning and battery services, brake work, tyre repair and replacement, and Tesla-specific wheel alignment and ADAS calibration.

Luke Garratt, UK technical services manager at Delphi, said: “There are 85,000 additional Teslas entering the aftermarket within the next two years. As these cars begin to arrive in independent garages, it’s crucial for technicians to understand the unique Tesla service and maintenance needs.

‘Seasoned technicians’

“We’ve developed this new course to provide the practical knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to confidently work on Teslas.”

As both an OE and aftermarket manufacturer, Delphi is increasing efforts to support workshops, Garratt said.

“Our trainers are seasoned technicians with hands-on workshop experience, ensuring our courses reflect real-world situations, practical scenarios, and diagnostic techniques.”

A half-a-million-pound investment over the summer has seen the Warwick-based Delphi Academy double in size by extending into a neighbouring unit, bringing the total floor space to 1,430 sq m.

The extension features new state-of-the-art training amenities dedicated to hybrid and EV education.

The next Tesla service and maintenance course takes place on November 10 at the Delphi Academy in Warwick.
