Floor Mats - Tesla S Owner's Manual

Polishing, Touch Up, and Body
Repair
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body,
you can occasionally treat the paint surfaces with an
approved polish containing:
• Very mild abrasive to remove surface
contamination without removing or damaging
the paint.
• Filling compounds that fill scratches and reduce
their visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating between
the paint and environmental elements.
Regularly inspect the exterior paint for damage.
Treat minor chips and scratches using a paint touch
up pen (available for purchase from Tesla). Use the
touch-up pen after washing but before polishing or
waxing.
Repair rock chips, fractures or scratches. Body
repairs should be performed only by a Tesla
approved body repair facility. Contact for a list of
approved facilities.
Caution: Do not use cutting pastes, color
restoration compounds, or polishes containing
harsh abrasives. These can scour the surface
and permanently damage the paint.
Caution: Do not use chrome polish or other
abrasive cleaners.
Maintenance
Using a Car Cover
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body
when Model S is not being used, use a genuine
Tesla car cover. Car covers can be purchased from
Tesla.
Caution: Never use a car cover when Model S
is plugged in. Doing so can prevent the Battery
from being adequately cooled during charging.

Floor Mats

To extend the life of your carpet and make them
easier to clean, use genuine Tesla floor mats.
Maintain mats by cleaning them regularly and
replacing them if they become excessively worn.
Warning: To avoid potential interference with
a foot pedal, ensure that the driver's floor mat
is securely fastened, and never place an
additional floor mat on top of it.
