01 / This trim
What makes this trim its own car
Position in the lineup
Mid-range trim
- Sits between the cheapest and most-expensive trim with 600 hp and a 4.1s 0–60.
Ideal buyer
Who this trim is for
Drivers who want effortless electric performance without paying for the top trim's launch numbers. Range and charging are usually identical across trims; the trade-off is purely in acceleration and bling.
Probably not for
Anyone whose use case clearly favours another trim — if you're never going to chase the 0–60 number or the top speed, the cheaper trim makes more financial sense.

04 / Maintenance
Keep it running for the long haul
Electric Teslas like the Cybertruck Cyberbeast eliminate 80% of traditional service tasks but introduce three new disciplines: tire care, battery thermal hygiene, and brake-caliper exercise. Owners who follow the schedule below routinely see batteries hold 90%+ capacity past 150,000 miles.
Break-in (first 1,000–1,500 mi)
Most powertrain damage happens here. Do these right and the car will outlive its electronics.
- First 1,000 mi: limit hard launches to allow tire scrub-in and suspension settle.
- Charge to 100% once in the first week to let the BMS learn full pack capacity, then return to 80% daily.
- Drive in both regen and coast modes to seat the brake pads — regen-only delivery glazes new pads.
| Interval | Task | Why it matters | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly | Cold tire pressure check | Set to door-jamb spec when tires are cold. Underinflation kills sidewalls and fuel/range economy; overinflation reduces grip. | High |
| Weekly | Visual walk-around | Check for fluid spots on the ground, tire condition, light operation, and any new noises before driving off. | Recommended |
| Monthly | Fluid level audit | Open the hood: check engine oil (where dipstick exists), coolant overflow level, brake fluid, washer fluid, power steering (if hydraulic). | High |
| Monthly | Wash + interior vacuum | Salt, road tar and bird droppings etch paint and clearcoat. Use pH-neutral car shampoo, two-bucket method. | Recommended |
| Every 6 months | Wax / ceramic top-up | Paint protection prevents oxidation. Spray-on ceramic boosters extend a base coat for 6–9 months. | Recommended |
| Every 12 months | Wiper blades + washer fluid | Replace both blades; switch to winter blades + de-icer fluid in cold climates. | Recommended |
| Every 12 months | 12V auxiliary battery test | Load-test the 12V battery — even EVs have one, and a weak 12V causes the most no-starts on modern cars. | High |
| Every 24 months | Brake fluid moisture test | Test with a refractometer or strips. >2% water content = flush. Hygroscopic fluid corrodes ABS modulators. | Critical |
| Every 24 months | Alignment check | Even a curb hit can throw alignment off. Mis-alignment burns through $1k+ tire sets quickly. | High |
| Every 7,500 mi | Tire rotation (5-tire if spare) | EVs are 20–40% heavier than ICE peers and torque-rich from 0 RPM. Owners commonly burn through tires in 20–25k mi without religious rotation. | Critical |
| Every 12 months | Cabin HEPA / activated-carbon filter | EVs often use larger filters (Tesla bio-defense, Lucid HEPA). Annual replacement keeps cabin airflow and reduces blower load. | Recommended |
| Every 12 months | Brake caliper lubrication | Regen means pads barely wear, but calipers seize from disuse. Annually: clean slide pins, re-grease with high-temp synthetic, and exercise pistons. | Critical |
| Every 24 months | Brake fluid moisture test + flush if >2% | Brake fluid still ages. EVs that never use friction brakes can still have water-contaminated fluid that boils on a panic stop. | Critical |
| Every 25,000 mi | HV battery coolant inspection | Glycol loop for the pack rarely needs replacement, but inspect for leaks at radiator, pump, and chiller. Low coolant → thermal derate or pack damage. | High |
| Every 4 years / 50,000 mi | HV battery coolant change | Porsche, Audi, GM Ultium and most premium brands call for a flush at this interval to keep the pack thermally stable. Tesla recommends inspection-only. | High |
| Every 50,000 mi | Drive-unit / reduction-gear oil | Single-speed reducers hold a small amount of gear oil. Most OEMs spec one change in the car's life; performance use shortens that. | High |
| Every 100,000 mi | Rear motor / inverter coolant flush | Separate coolant loop on most performance EVs. Clean fluid prevents inverter overheating and torque derate. | High |
| Daily habit | Keep state-of-charge 20–80% for daily use | Lithium-ion ages fastest at the extremes. 80% daily cap + occasional 100% road-trip charges yields the longest pack life. | Critical |
| Every 12 months / 12,500 mi | Tesla annual: pads, fluid, washer jets, A/C desiccant | Tesla's own service plan: brake fluid every 2 yr, A/C desiccant bag every 6 yr (S/X) or 4 yr (3/Y), cabin filter every 2 yr, HEPA every 3 yr. | High |
| Every 7,500 mi | Performance tire rotation + wear-depth audit | Heavy / high-power cars (6,843 lb, 845 hp) shred rear tires fast. Cross-rotate fronts to opposite rear, keep all four within 2/32" depth. | Critical |
| Continuously | Install OTA software updates | Tesla pushes battery-management, regen, and even motor-power improvements via OTA. Install promptly — many include bug fixes that extend hardware life. | High |
| Before storage (>30 days) | Fuel stabilizer + battery tender + tire pressure +5 psi | Add Sta-Bil to a full tank, hook a smart tender to the 12V (and Level-1 charge any EV/PHEV), inflate tires +5 psi to prevent flat-spotting, leave windows cracked. | High |
| Coming out of storage | Pre-flight inspection | Check tire pressures, brake function (rotors will be surface-rusted — bed gently), fluid levels, and rodent damage in the engine bay and cabin air intake. | High |

Fluid specs
Use only OEM-approved fluids. Wrong fluid = catastrophic gearbox / engine damage.
| Fluid | Spec / Approved Type | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Brake fluid | DOT 4 (OEM long-life) | — |
| Differential gear oil | OEM 75W-90 (rear) / 75W-140 (LSD) | — |
| Transfer case fluid | OEM spec — usually a thin ATF-style oil | — |
| HV battery coolant | Glycol-based (OEM only) — DO NOT mix | — |
| Drive-unit gear oil | OEM low-viscosity (e.g. Tesla 75W) — small fill, sealed | — |
Longevity tips
- Pre-condition the battery before any DC fast-charge in cold weather — cold cells charge slowly AND degrade faster.
- Use Level 2 AC charging at home as your default; reserve DC fast-charging for road trips.
- Avoid leaving the car at 100% or below 10% state-of-charge for more than a few hours.
- Drive in one-pedal / regen mode whenever traffic allows — recovers energy and preserves friction brakes.
- Wash and rust-proof the underbody at least twice a year — EV battery enclosures are aluminum and bolted; salt eats fasteners.
- Keep a written service log — both for your own tracking and resale value (Carfax-style records add 5–10% at sale).
- Use OEM-spec parts and fluids — aftermarket 'equivalents' often aren't, and brand-engineered specs exist for real reasons.
- Replace tires as a complete set (or at minimum same axle) and never mix tire models on an AWD car — damages the center diff.
Brand-specific notes
- Tesla has no fixed service schedule and no traditional dealer network — owners must self-schedule rotation, fluid and filter work via the mobile app.
- Always cross-reference your VIN with the latest OEM TSBs and recalls — manufacturers fix common issues silently under warranty.
- Use the manufacturer app or a third-party scan tool (BimmerLink, OBDeleven, Techstream, Forscan) to monitor adaptations and clear codes between services.
