Typical maintenance for an electric car
General ranges across many cars, not Tesla's schedule for your model.
Tire rotation
Often every 5,000–7,500 miles
Check pressure monthly when tires are cold — the right number is on the driver's door jamb.
Cabin air filter
Often every 15,000–25,000 miles or yearly
A musty smell from the vents is a common sign it's due.
Wiper blades
Often every 6–12 months
Streaking or chattering means it's time.
Brake fluid
Often every 2–3 years
Fluid absorbs moisture over time, even if the car sits.
Brake pads and rotors
Inspect at each tire rotation
Squealing or grinding means get them looked at soon.
Coolant
Varies widely — often 5–10 years for long-life coolant
Only check the level when the engine is cold.
Battery (12-volt)
Often lasts 3–5 years
Heat shortens battery life; slow starts are an early warning.
Registration and insurance
Yearly or as your state and policy set
