Vehicle 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 efficiency of your Model X.

Brake fluid health check every 4 years (replace if necessary)*.
Cabin air filter replacement every 3 years (or every year in China).
HEPA filters and carbon filters replacement every 3 years (or every year in China).
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 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater, whichever comes first

* Heavy brake usage due to towing, mountain descents, or performance driving -- especially for vehicles in hot and humid environments -- may necessitate more frequent brake fluid checks and replacements.

Over time, when driving in dusty or polluted conditions, your vehicle's radiator may become clogged. This can affect air flow and heating/AC performance. Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment.

CAUTION

Perform each procedure in this guide in a dry and well-lit area. For your safety, only perform a procedure if you feel comfortable doing so, and always follow all provided instructions.

Note

Any damage caused by opening the Battery coolant reservoir is excluded from the warranty.

Note

The above intervals are based on typical driving behaviors and scenarios. However, Model X should generally be serviced on an as-needed basis; depending on various circumstances such as driving behavior, usage, environmental conditions, etc., the above maintenance items may need to be replaced more or less frequently than specified. 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.

Maintenance Summary

You can view current status of maintenance items by navigating to Controls > Service > Maintenance on your vehicle's touchscreen.

Maintenance Summary keeps track of when regular maintenance items, such as windshield wiper blades and filters, were last performed and provides suggestions for when they should be performed again. You can perform them yourself or enlist the help of Tesla or an independent repairer. Once completed, you can reset the maintenance item on your vehicle's touchscreen. Model X captures a time stamp and applicable information (such as your current mileage) and resets the maintenance item to remind you for next time. Vehicle service history records persists with the vehicle, providing you and future owners with a record of previously performed services. The service history record is not affected by a factory reset.

Note

Although Tesla updates the maintenance summary during a service visit as needed, it is the responsibility of the vehicle's owner to ensure the accuracy of the information, especially for service or maintenance performed by independent repairers or through do-it-yourself means.
