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 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.
Tesla regularly releases Software Updates that can improve the performance, safety, and features of your car. It is important to install these updates as soon as they are available.
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 )
