Air Conditioning
Depending on its intended sales region, the air conditioning system is filled with R134a or 1234yf refrigerant. If available, refer to the label on the RH front trunk trim.
Fluid | Part Number |
---|---|
R1234yf Refrigerant | 2006643-00-A |
R134a Refrigerant |
1012403-00-B For China only: use 1065472-10-A |
If oil needs to be added to the air conditioning system, use the appropriate type of oil as specified below.
- Denso compressor type: use ND-11 A/C oil (part number 1023305-00-A)
- Halla or Hanon compressor type: use RB100EV A/C oil (part number 1031093-01-A)
- Given a value in grams, divide by 0.98 to find the value in ml (milliliters or cc).
- Given a value in ml (milliliters or cc), multiply by 0.98 to find the value in grams.

Brake Fluid
DOT 4 BASF Hydraulan 404 (part number 1012041-10-C) is the approved brake fluid.
Coolant
The cooling system contains an ethylene glycol (phosphate and nitrate free) based coolant.
- 1029320-00-A, ETHYLENE GLYCOL COOLANT - 50/50 MIX - 1 Gallon
- 1061466-00-A, ETHYLENE GLYCOL COOLANT - 50/50 MIX - 55 Gallon Drum
For China only, please use the following coolant:
- 1012820-10-A, COOLANT, ETHYLENE GLYCOL, 50/50 MIX, 4L
- 1119779-00-A, G48 Coolant – 50/50 MIX 1 Liter
The overall concentration of ethylene glycol should not fall below 50% by volume to make sure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained.
Concentrations of ethylene glycol greater than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
Tesla G-48 coolant is a pre-mixed 50/50 solution of ethylene glycol and water. The coolant is ready to use. Do not add water.
Electrical Joint Compound
Penetrox A-13 electrical joint compound (part number 2006271).
