Gold Coast Tesla Maintenance Guide

Tesla is known for their sleek design, advanced technology, and impressive performance. However, like any vehicle, they still require regular maintenance to keep them running at their best.

Here are some of the key maintenance tasks that Tesla owners should be aware of

Tyre rotation and alignment

Tesla Tyre has a unique tyre rotation pattern that helps to ensure even wear. It is important to have your tires rotated every 15,000km or if the tread depth difference is 2/32 inches or greater, whichever comes first. You should also have your wheel alignment checked every six months.

Tesla Brake fluid flush

Tesla recommends flushing the brake fluid every two years or 30,000km, whichever comes first. This helps to remove moisture and contaminants from the brake fluid, Twhich can improve braking performance.

Cabin air filter replacement

The cabin air filter helps to remove pollen, dust, and other contaminants from the air that enters the passenger compartment. It is important to replace the cabin air filter every two years or 30,000km, whichever comes first.

HEPA filter replacement (if equipped)

If your car is equipped with a Tesla HEPA filter, it is important to replace it every three years or 57,000km, whichever comes first. The HEPA filter helps to remove even smaller particles from the air, such as mold spores and bacteria.

In addition to these regular maintenance tasks, you should also be aware of the following

Battery care

The Tesla battery is the most important component of your car. It is important to avoid letting the battery completely drain, and to avoid charging it to 100% on a regular basis. You should also try to keep the battery temperature between 10°C and 45°C. ( Tesla Lithium Battery )

Bodywork

Tesla cars are made from aluminum, which is a lightweight and durable material. However, aluminum is also susceptible to corrosion. It is important to wash your car regularly and to wax it periodically to help protect the paint (Tesla PPF)

Wheels

Tesla wheels are made from a variety of materials, including aluminum, alloy, and carbon fiber. It is important to clean your wheels regularly and to inspect them for any signs of damage.

By following these maintenance tips, you can help to ensure that your Tesla car continues to operate safely and efficiently for many years to come.
