Tesla Maintenance and Service Center

This maintenance schedule ONLY applies to owners who plan to care for their Tesla and not let it rot for the next owner. These recommendations have been developed from real-world Tesla® experience and ownership by our staff and leadership team. If you do not want to care for your Tesla the way we recommend, you do not have to. That is a personal choice. Applies to All Tesla vehicles: Tires degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended by Tesla that tires are replaced every six years, or sooner if required, even if tread depth is above the minimum. Tires can be replaced in pairs on each axle. A whole set is not required but tread pattern matching is recommended. Tesla Model Updates: What does refresh mean on a Model S & X? Pre-Dashboard redesign. Yoke does not mean refresh though after ~March 2023+ because a steering wheel option was added. What does ‘late’ Model 3 mean?
