Common maintenance items

Tesla does not require traditional annual general servicing or regular engine-oil changes.

  • Rotate tyres every 10,000 km or when tread-depth difference reaches at least 1.5 mm
  • Clean brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km when driving on salted winter roads
  • Check brake-fluid condition and contamination every four years
  • Replace cabin and HEPA filters according to model and model year

Model 3

The cabin filter is normally replaced every two years and HEPA/carbon filters every three years where fitted. A/C desiccant-bag timing depends on model year and heat-pump equipment.

Filter and A/C intervals differ between vehicles built before and after 2021. Always check the vehicle’s Service menu.

Model Y

The cabin filter is normally replaced every two years and HEPA/carbon filters every three years. For vehicles built after February 2025, current Tesla guidance specifies caliper cleaning without lubrication.

Always verify in the vehicle

Tesla updates its recommendations. The latest vehicle-specific information is under Controls > Service and in the correct owner’s manual for the model and model year.
