EV maintenance

Tesla ends its yearly inspection program because it doesn't make sense.

Having analyzed billions of miles of real-world driving data from its worldwide fleet of vehicles, combined with internal engineering studies on vehicle reliability, durability, and safety, the electric carmaker found that there was less of a need for customers to bring their vehicles in for annual service when, in many instances, the vehicle did not require maintenance like a traditional gasoline car would.

In place of an annual maintenance checklist, Tesla owners will only need to bring their cars in for service when there’s a service need on a specific component at a specific interval. This will enable cars to stay on roads for longer periods of time.
Air filters, tire rotation, brake check, A/C service, 'winter care'... That's it!

Doing away with regular but unneeded services frees up capacity to provide assistance when and where needed.

Your Tesla does not require annual maintenance and regular fluid changes. Please check your Owner’s Manual for latest maintenance recommendations for your Tesla.
Check your manual for the latest recommendations... It is a different world.
