Tesla Model 3
Model 3 / Y: production year changes the details
Use the model-year guidance; cabin filtration is separate from engine filtration.
Match the fitted wheel sizes and braking equipment; inspect wear rather than assuming replacement.
The accessory battery is separate from the traction pack; match the model-specific technology.
Tesla Model Y
Model 3 / Y: production year changes the details
Use the model-year guidance; cabin filtration is separate from engine filtration.
Match the fitted wheel sizes and braking equipment; inspect wear rather than assuming replacement.
The accessory battery is separate from the traction pack; match the model-specific technology.
Tesla Model S
Model S / X: confirm year and suspension equipment
Confirm conventional, adaptive or air suspension before comparing parts and labour.
Use the model-year guidance; cabin filtration is separate from engine filtration.
Use EV-capable diagnostics for charging or traction-battery concerns. Any battery-capacity test should identify its method; check coolant circuits only where specified for this model.

Model S / X: confirm year and suspension equipment

YOUR BRAND, YOUR MAINTENANCE
Tesla: maintenance essentials
Tesla maintenance is organised around individual service items rather than a conventional petrol-engine package. Tyres, brake care, filters, low-voltage power and cooling or charging concerns are the relevant topics; engine-oil changes and spark plugs are not.
Tyres and friction brakes still need attention
Regenerative braking does not remove the car’s friction-brake system. Wheel size and front/rear configuration affect tyre selection and rotation possibilities. Model year and fitted equipment matter when planning filter or fluid work, so the current manual should be matched to the actual vehicle.
Routine maintenance versus software or high-voltage faults
A charging warning, a low-voltage problem and a request for battery-capacity information need different assessments. An ordinary service visit does not establish a full traction-battery health result. Model X door equipment, Model S/X chassis options and Model 3/Y fitments also prevent a single parts list covering every Tesla.
