General information
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring
the continued reliability and efficiency of
your vehicle.
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility and
you must ensure that the appropriate
maintenance is carried out when required
and according to the recommendations
specified by Tesla Motors.
Routine maintenance
Take your vehicle to Tesla Motors at the
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals of
every 12 months, or every 12,000 miles
(20,000 kms), whichever comes first.
Maintenance and service must be performed
by Tesla-certified technicians. Damages or
failures caused by maintenance or repairs
performed by non-Tesla certified technicians
are not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Service interval indicator
When the key is inserted and turned to the
ACC position, the Touch Screen momentarily
displays how many miles you can drive before
the vehicle is due for servicing.
This information can also be displayed by
Touching the Info button on the Touch
Screen’s main Parked screen (which is
displayed whenever the hand brake is
engaged). For details, refer to the Touch
Screen Users Manual provided in your owners
package.
