What a Tesla still needs
No oil changes, but tires, brakes, suspension, cabin filters, wipers and the climate system all need attention. Our guide to EV maintenance covers it in detail.
Tires
Teslas are heavy and quick, which wears tires faster than many owners expect. Regular tire rotation, alignment and steady pressure — nitrogen helps — make them last.
Brakes that don’t get used
Regenerative braking means the pads last a long time, but calipers can stick from lack of use and brake fluid still ages. A free brake inspection keeps an eye on both.
