Maintenance and care<br />
General information<br />
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring<br />
the continued reliability and efficiency of<br />
your vehicle.<br />
Maintenance is the owner's responsibility and<br />
you must ensure that the appropriate<br />
maintenance is carried out when required<br />
and according to the recommendations<br />
specified by Tesla Motors.<br />
Routine maintenance<br />
Take your vehicle to Tesla Motors at the<br />
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals of<br />
every 12 months, or every 12,000 miles,<br />
whichever comes first.<br />
Maintenance and service must be performed<br />
by Tesla-certified technicians. Damages or<br />
failures caused by maintenance or repairs<br />
performed by non-Tesla certified technicians<br />
are not covered under the New Vehicle<br />
Limited Warranty.<br />

the next service interval.<br />
In addition, this information can be displayed<br />
by selecting the Info icon on the Touch<br />
Screen when the vehicle is parked. For<br />
