Teslas' need minimal mechanic time, but as I was replacing a destroyed bearing in a pulley tensioner in my 170K plus 2006 Toyota Tacoma I was wondering what Tesla uses, I assume metric.

I mean eventually I'll have to replace brakes and ball joints, I am going to be using metric or SAE?

I'm not an owner, but all the mod kits come in metric keying. I assume the whole machine is metric.

The world is metric. As everything is international these days the US us becoming metric too though the public is not aware of it. Thus the definition of the inch is 25.40000 mm. etc. The bolt heads I can find to try a wrench on in my Tesla appear to be metric.
