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 eciency of
your
Model Y.
• Brake fluid health check every 2 years
(replace if necessary).
• A/C desiccant bag replacement every 4
years.
• Cabin air filter replacement every year.
•
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 km or if tread
depth
dierence is 1.5 mm or greater,
whichever comes first
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.

the directions in the mobile app. Provide as
much detail as possible, such as:

issue occurred.
• Country of use and location.
• Approximate speed the vehicle was
traveling (if applicable).
• Environmental conditions (rain, snow,
cold, etc.).

applicable).
• Quality of lane markings (if applicable).

Daily Checks
• Check the Battery’s charge level,
displayed on the touchscreen or mobile
app.
• Check the condition and pressure of each
tire (see Tire Care and Maintenance on
page 191).
•
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
(see Seat Belts on page 30).
•
Look for abnormal fluid deposits
underneath Model Y 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 Y 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 (see
Cleaning on page 198).
Monthly Checks
• Check windshield washer fluid level and
top up if necessary (see Topping Up
Windshield Washer Fluid on page 204).
• Check that the air conditioning system is
operating correctly (see Climate Controls
on page 140).
