Tesla engineers continuously review maintenance recommendations to optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resell value of your Tesla.
Unlike gasoline cars, Tesla cars require no traditional oil changes, fuel filters, spark plug replacements or emission checks. As electric cars, even brake pad replacements are rare because regenerative braking returns energy to the battery, significantly reducing wear on brakes.
Please check your Owner’s Manual for latest maintenance recommendations for your Tesla.
