Tesla Model 3: Service Intervals
Your vehicle should generally be serviced on
an as-needed basis. However, Tesla
recommends the following maintenance items
and intervals, as applicable to your vehicle, to
ensure continued reliability and efficiency of
your Model 3.
- Brake fluid health check every 2 years
(replace if necessary)
- A/C desiccant bag replacement every 6
years
- Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years
- Clean and lubricate brake calipers every
year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an
area where roads are salted during winter
- Rotate tires every 10,000-12,000 miles
(16,000-20,000 km) or if tread depth
difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater
Note: The above intervals are based on normal
driving behaviors and scenarios. Additionally,
the above list should not be considered
comprehensive and does not include
consumable parts such as windshield wipers,
brake pads, etc.
Note: Damages or failures caused by
maintenance or repairs performed by non-
Tesla certified technicians are not covered by
the warranty.
Daily Checks
- Check the Battery's charge level,
displayed on the touchscreen or mobile
app.
- Check the condition and pressure of each
tire
- Check that all exterior lights, horn, turn
signals, and wipers and washers are
working.
- Check for any unexpected indicator lights
or vehicle alerts on the touchscreen.
- Check the operation of the brakes,
including the parking brake.
- Check the operation of the seat belts
- Look for abnormal fluid deposits
underneath Model 3 that might indicate a
leak. It is normal for a small pool of water
to form (caused by the air conditioning
system's dehumidifying process).
- Look around the exterior of Model 3 and
immediately remove any corrosive
substances (such as bird droppings, tree
resin, tar spots, dead insects, industrial
fallout, etc.) to prevent damage to the
paint

Flash drives used to store video from your
vehicle's cameras must meet these
requirements:
Use a flash drive with as much available
storage as possible, since video footage
takes up a large amount of space (Tesla
recommends using a flash drive with at
least 32 GB of storage). Some
