Installing a Smart Start Ignition Interlock on a Tesla

What to Expect at Your Installation Appointment

When you come in for your appointment, an experienced technician will install your device. Ignition Interlock installation is typically more complex for electric vehicles, so be prepared for your appointment to take at least 2-4 hours. Keep in mind that this time can vary based on the exact make, model, and configuration of your vehicle.

Once installed, your technician will demonstrate how to use the device and provide hands on training so you’re comfortable using your IID. During your interlock requirement, you will need to visit your local service center to calibrate your device regularly. Your exact service schedule will depend on your state or local laws.

How Much Does It Cost to Install an Ignition Interlock on a Tesla?

Installing an Interlock Device on an electric car, like a Tesla, may cost more than a regular gas-powered car. This is due to the complexity of an electric car’s systems. Overall costs will vary based on the exact make and model of your car.

We understand that the cost of getting a DUI can be overwhelming. Our affordable monthly lease can help! There’s no need to worry about being locked into a long-term contract.
