Tesla Maintenance: Simple Guide to Electric Car Care #shorts
Say goodbye to oil changes, spark plug replacements, transmission fluid flushes, and emission tests. None of those apply to an electric car. No engine means far fewer moving parts that need regular servicing. Tire upkeep. Rotate your tires regularly, and keep an eye on tire wear. The instant torque and extra weight of the battery can wear out tires a bit faster than on a typical car. Brake fluid and coolant. Check and replace brake fluid occasionally. Tesla recommends testing it every 2 years or so. The battery motor coolant may need a flush at long intervals, usually after many years of use. Cabin air filter. Replace the cabin air filter every year or two to keep the interior air fresh. Models with HEPA filters, like some Model S, have special filters that need periodic changing, too. General checks, wiper blades, tire pressure, and other basic wear items, still require periodic inspection, just as with any car. The good news is brake pads will likely last a very long time because regenerative braking does most of the work to slow the car. Overall, you’ll probably spend far less time and money on maintenance with a Tesla than you would with a gasoline car. It might even feel strange not getting regular oil changes or tuneups. Just remember to do those few checkups and your Tesla will treat you well. Switching from a gas powered vehicle to a Tesla is definitely a learning curve.
Thinking of switching to a Tesla? Discover the minimal maintenance needed! Forget oil changes and spark plugs. Learn about tire care, brake fluid checks, and more to keep your electric car running smoothly. #Tesla #EV #ElectricCar #Maintenance #CarTips
