Tesla Servicing: Performance Meets Precision
Why following Tesla's maintenance schedule is critical for optimal performance, safety, and protecting your investment
The Tesla Advantage: Less Maintenance, More Innovation
Tesla vehicles represent a paradigm shift in automotive technology. With fewer moving parts than traditional vehicles, Teslas require significantly less maintenance than conventional cars. However, this doesn't mean maintenance can be ignored – proper servicing is crucial for optimal performance, safety, and preserving your vehicle's value.
🔋 What Makes Tesla Maintenance Different
Unlike traditional vehicles that require oil changes every 3,000-7,500 miles, Tesla's electric powertrain eliminates many routine maintenance items. However, critical systems like brakes, tires, air conditioning, and safety components still require regular attention to ensure peak performance.
