Selecting the right car parts can be a minefield, knowing which parts are best to buy. Our guide will help you understand the different types of Tesla car parts, covering genuine, OEM and aftermarket options, along with their benefits and drawbacks.
Genuine Parts: These parts are manufactured by Tesla, ensuring the best performance and a perfect fit for your car. They come with a warranty, guaranteeing quality and reliability.
OEM Parts: Produced by the same manufacturers that make Tesla's genuine parts, OEM parts offer similar quality but at a lower price. They are an excellent alternative if you are looking for cost-effective options without sacrificing quality.
Aftermarket Parts: Made by third-party manufacturers, these parts are often more affordable. They offer a wide range of choices and can sometimes provide enhanced performance or unique features.
When selecting which part to purchase, consider your budget, the importance of maintaining your warranty, and the specific needs of your vehicle. Genuine parts are ideal for those who prioritise quality and warranty. OEM parts are suitable for those seeking a balance between cost and quality. Aftermarket parts are best for budget-conscious buyers or those looking for specialised features.
Genuine Parts:
Pros: High quality, perfect fit, length of warranty.
Cons: Higher cost.
OEM Parts:
Pros: Good quality, lower cost than genuine parts.
Cons: Limited warranty.

Ring RTC Tyre inflator
Bought the tyre inflator because of the unreliable service station tyre inflators.
The buying process online through APD was straightforward. Ordered the tyre inflator late afternoon and received it 2 days later via the Royal mail.
I have a car, campervan and motorbike. I like the wind in cable feature keeps everything neat and tidy. The inflator is easy to use on all three vehicles. Appreciated the chocolate.
Very quick despatch and delivery time
Good updates. Items exactly as described. All fitted and car back on the road.
Personally I found them to be very...
helpful response to emails relating to my purchase was within the hour and they offered the best price on the parts I needed had to wait a couple of days longer than usual due to the parts that I needed was out of stock (but I was made aware of this before ordering) would happily use them again.
Very helpful company.
I ordered a cabin filter on their website which was out of stock. They contacted me by email & offered a replacement which wasn't really what I wanted so they immediately sent a refund. I found another that was suitable, they happily ordered it for me and called me when it arrived in my local store to collect.
Helpful people giving great service
The Wiper blades I ordered were competitively priced and promptly delivered. Unfortunately there was an issue with the fitment and this is where APD showed their commitment to great customer service. They were most helpful in resolving the problem to my complete satisfaction.
