Regular maintenance

What your Model S needs, and when.

EVs skip oil changes, but tires, brakes, filters and the A/C still need attention. Here is what Tesla recommends, and what we check.

  • Tire rotation

    Every 6,250 miles, or sooner if tread depth differs by 2/32 in or more

    Whichever comes first, per Tesla.

  • Wheel alignment

    As needed

    Check if tires wear unevenly, the car pulls, or after suspension work or a hard curb hit.

  • Brake inspection

    Inspect regularly

    Tesla does not give a fixed interval for pads and rotors. Regenerative braking means pads usually last a long time.

  • Brake caliper cleaning and lubrication

    Every year or 12,500 miles where roads are salted in winter

    Florida roads are not salted, so this usually does not apply here. We still check caliper slides during brake inspections.

  • Brake fluid test

    Health check every 4 years, replace if needed

    Tesla notes heavy braking (towing, mountain descents, performance driving) may call for more frequent checks.

  • Cabin air filter

    Every 3 years on current models

    Earlier model years may list a different interval. We check the schedule for your car's year.

  • HEPA filter

    Every 3 years

    Where equipped.

  • A/C desiccant bag

    Depends on model year

    Tesla's service manual lists every 2 years for 2012–2020 Model S without a heat pump. We follow the schedule for your car.

  • Wiper blades

    Every year

    Sooner if they streak or chatter. Florida sun is hard on rubber.

  • 12V / low-voltage battery

    Test regularly, replace as needed

    No fixed interval in the manual. The car alerts you when it needs service; we test it at every visit.

  • Air suspension

    Inspect regularly

    On cars with air suspension: check for leaks, compressor noise and ride-height faults. No interval in the manual.

Intervals based on manufacturer guidance. Where Tesla gives no specific interval, we say “inspect regularly” or “as needed”. Your vehicle’s own manual and app reminders take priority, and intervals can change by model year.
