Maintenance Schedule
Service Intervals
Your vehicle should generally be serviced on an as-
needed basis. However, Tesla recommends the following
maintenance items and intervals, as applicable to your
vehicle, to ensure continued reliability and efficiency of
your Model X.
• Brake fluid health check every 2 years (replace if
necessary) or, if the vehicle is used for towing,
replace the brake fluid every 2 years.
• A/C desiccant bag replacement every 4 years.
• Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years.
• HEPA filter replacement every 3 years.
• Clean and lubricate brake calipers every year or
12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads
are salted during winter
• Rotate tires every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread
depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater,
whichever comes first
NOTE: The above intervals are based on normal driving
behaviors and scenarios. Additionally, the above list
should not be considered comprehensive and does not
include consumable parts such as windshield wipers,
brake pads, etc.
NOTE: Damages or failures caused by maintenance or
repairs performed by non-Tesla certified technicians are
not covered by the warranty.

Daily Checks
• Check the Battery's charge level, displayed on the
instrument panel or mobile app.
• Check the condition and pressure of each tire (see
Tire Care and Maintenance on page
• Check that all exterior lights, horn, turn signals, and
wipers and washers are working.
• Check for any unexpected indicator lights or vehicle
alerts on the touchscreen or instrument panel.
• Check the operation of the brakes, including the
parking brake.
• Check the operation of the seat belts (see
on page
31).
• Look for abnormal fluid deposits underneath Model X
that might indicate a leak. It is normal for a small pool
of water to form (caused by the air conditioning
system's dehumidifying process).
• Look around the exterior of Model X and immediately
remove any corrosive substances (such as bird
droppings, tree resin, tar spots, dead insects,
industrial fallout, etc.) to prevent damage to the paint
(see
Cleaning on page
Monthly Checks
• Check windshield washer fluid level and top up if
necessary (see
on page
195).
• Check that the air conditioning system is operating
correctly (see
NOTE: In addition to cooling the interior, the air
conditioning compressor also cools the Battery.
Therefore, in hot weather, the air conditioning
compressor can turn on even if you turned it off. This is
normal because the system's priority is to cool the
Battery to ensure it stays within an optimum
temperature range to support longevity and optimum
performance. Also, even when not in use, you may hear
Model X emit a whining noise or the sound of water
circulating. These sounds are normal and occur when
the internal cooling systems turn on to support various
vehicle functions, such as maintaining the low voltage
battery and balancing the temperature of the high
voltage Battery.
WARNING: Contact Tesla immediately if you notice
any significant or sudden drop in fluid levels or
uneven tire wear.
Fluid Replacement Intervals

Your Battery coolant does not need to be replaced for
the life of your vehicle under most circumstances. Brake
fluid should be checked every 2 years, replacing if
necessary*.
