Model 3 Maintenance Schedule
Tesla says its cars do not need annual maintenance or regular fluid changes. These are the items Tesla does recommend. Your car's touchscreen shows its own schedule under Controls > Service > Maintenance.
- Rotate tires every 6,250 miles, or when tread depth differs by 2/32 in or more, whichever comes first.
- Replace the cabin air filter every 2 years.
- For other items (brake fluid, wipers, brake calipers), follow the Maintenance section of your Model 3 owner's manual and the touchscreen Maintenance Summary.
Lug nut torque for Model 3 is 129 lb-ft with a 21 mm socket, per Tesla's owner's manual.
