Filters don't stop working when they get old they just restrict air flow and in Tesla's case at least I believe they can start to smell bad but replacing them will not actually improve the pollen filtration at all so if that is your only reason for doing it early I would not bother.Here's all the recommended servicing

I'm going to replace the air filters soon myself, before taking hayfever son on our Summer Holidays. Planning to ask my local garage to check the brake fluid and lubricate the callipers, check the pads and disks etc. It'll only have done 17K miles in the 2 years (yay, lockdown).
There is no checking or replacing battery coolant unless the car tells you to.
It won't be early, actually it'll be spot on 2 years. While I agree with you to a degree, having reduced airflow when using recirculating air means you are cleaning the air less quickly, hence any pollen from when the doors were open remains longer. Replacing pollen filters does help hay fever sufferers.Filters don't stop working when they get old they just restrict air flow and in Tesla's case at least I believe they can start to smell bad but replacing them will not actually improve the pollen filtration at all so if that is your only reason for doing it early I would not bother.
Tyre rotation keeps the tyre wear even so that all the tyres wear out at the same rate and need replacing at the same time. it also may keep the front rear balance more consistent than say with very old at one end and new at the other. On the other hand having all 4 tyres with 2mm tread in heavy rain rather than 2 isn't necessarily a good thing either. The main benefit seems to be to tyre fitters. Does anyone outside of the US do it?
Checking battery fluids I believe is a thing ?
Plus eventually it would be good to get suspension checked etc - from what I remember of most of my cars they start having problems in this area

If your Tesla service centres are like the ones here, they absolutely checked the brakes when selling it.I bought a demo from Tesla which was 1 year old at the time. I’ve now had it for a year. So my question is whether Tesla would have serviced the brakes before selling the car or did they simply wash it and put it up for sale? Does anyone have any experience of being in a similar situation? Thanks

Here’s details on the UK,part of the Tesla website Tesla service, so cabin filter and possible brake fluid for the 2 year service. Changing brake fluid every two or three years is pretty normal as brake fluid is hydroscopic, so performance decreases the more moisture that is absorbed (in extreme cases you can corrode brake lines from the inside, though that only really occurs on a old cars that are’t regularly serviced).
Meant to type Hygroscopic (joys of autocorrect). Agree there may not be a need to change it, but Tesla do recommend getting it checked and changed if needed.(Hygroscopic rather than hydroscopic) ... the fluid should be tested and replaced if it is below spec. In practice it usually takes longer than 2 years to degrade and I wouldn't jump at a change unless a test showed it was an issue, or if it's a track car.
