Need an Ignition Interlock for Your Tesla? Choose Smart Start

February 22, 2019

Updated Nov. 20, 2024

Wondering if there’s an Ignition Interlock provider that can install their device on a Tesla? Smart Start is here to help! We’re available for you and your electric vehicle if you need to fulfill Ignition Interlock Device (IID) requirements.

Smart Start strives to match the pace of the automotive industry as electric vehicles become more popular. You might choose to drive an electric vehicle for the efficiency, sustainability, or ease of ownership. Whatever your reason, we’re here to help you get back on the road!

Installing a Smart Start Ignition Interlock on a Tesla

Picture it: a Tesla is the one car you own and use to get to school, work, or other obligations. You need to install an IID, but you’re having a tough time finding a provider that can install their device into the model you own.

We know this search can be frustrating, so consider choosing Smart Start! Smart Start can install Ignition Interlock Devices on most Tesla models. Since 2012, we’ve installed IIDs on over 1,000 Teslas, including the popular Model 3 and Model Y.

Our knowledgeable Program Advisors can answer questions you may have about Ignition Interlocks. They’ll also help you find a service center location that can install on electric cars. Call (800) 831-3299 or fill out our form to speak with our team and schedule your appointment today.

Get back on the road fast. Choose from over 2,000 locations and schedule your Ignition Interlock installation today. Book now!

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. You can learn more about calibration here.

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. To learn more about the cost of an IID, visit our cost guide or call a Program Advisor at (800) 831-3299 for a quote today.
