It is recommended that you schedule service via your Tesla Mobile App or with an independent
service provider to have your tires rotated when:
• The dierence in tire tread depth between any front and rear tire exceeds 1.5mm
• Your vehicle has been driven for more than 6,250 miles (10,000 km) since the last rotation
Tires may need to be replaced if the rear tread depth is determined to be at an unsafe level and
a tire rotation is no longer adequate.
Upon completion of tire inspection and any necessary tire service, update your vehicle’s Tire
Configuration on page 201 to optimize your vehicle settings to your tires, and clear the alert for
at least 6,250 miles.
It is not recommended that you rely on this alert instead of routine checks of tire tread depth.
This alert should only be present when your vehicle estimates the tires are far beyond the
recommended service interval.
This alert is calibrated for Tesla tires and is not expected to work with tires of dierent types or
sizes, including combinations of
dierent tire brands or models. It may not display, or may
display prematurely, on vehicles using tires not recommended by Tesla. For more information on
recommended tires, see Wheels and Tires on page 228.
For more information on routine tire maintenance, see Tire Care and Maintenance on page 197.

Limited deceleration when accelerator is released
OK to drive - Use brake pedal as needed
Regenerative braking performance is temporarily reduced. The expected amount of automatic
deceleration is not available when you lift your foot o the accelerator pedal while driving.
Your vehicle is OK to drive.
Use the brake pedal as needed to slow your vehicle, similar to the way you would apply the
brakes in a gas-powered, non-electric vehicle (a vehicle with no regenerative braking to provide
automatic deceleration).
This alert may occur when:
• High voltage battery is near full charge:
◦ Regenerative braking is reduced when the battery is at 95% charge or higher.
• High voltage battery is cold:
◦ The battery may not be warm enough for full regenerative braking performance.
◦
This can happen at the beginning of a drive. It may happen frequently in colder climates.
Driving your vehicle will usually clear this alert, because it should reduce the battery charge
below 95% and/or
suciently heat the battery.
NOTE: In colder climates, this alert may remain present indefinitely and automatic deceleration
may remain limited, as driving your vehicle may not heat the battery enough to restore full
performance of the automatic deceleration feature. This alert, by itself, does not typically
indicate a condition requiring service.
For more information, see Regenerative Braking on page 70.
