I have a 2020 Model 3. In 4 years I have had 2 maintenance appoints totaling 89.00. I had my cabin air filters replaced and my brake fluid checked. Regenerative braking means I rarely use my brakes.

[ceuser]

I wish they have an instrument panel for all the maintenance that needs to be done.

Had my model 3 since 2018. I set of tires, and just had the 12 volt battery replaced and brakes cleaned. So much better than ice crap cars.

I've had my new 2022 model 3 long range since 3-10. I've only had to refill the windshield fluid once. Other than that I'm never going back to buying a ICE car again.

A have been driving Teslas for 5 years. No even a single service/maintainence during those years. But, the longest I have own one is 40 months. Let's see how my MYP holds up. :)

You missed the drive units gear oil and filter. It's not in the model 3 (2021) user manual and Tesla service (Sterling Va.) didn't know the interval. I saw on utube 30k and 100k. I would think every 50k would do it or you can pay 3-6k to have it replaced at 120k miles.

Hi Chris, I didn't know you were an Irvine resident. I was shocked when I saw where I live. (Portola) I hope we meet. I started to think about buying a tesla after your camping videos with Tesla.

[nimeshpatel]

What about wheel alignment? Do you have any link to explain this wheel alignment?

[ckohlermn]

I recently bought a used M3 with 80k, has original break pads, still plenty of pad remaining.

I realized last time that during service addon as "please change filters" is not much different from what you are getting from tesla store and trying to figure out how to change it. Just add it to the bucket next service.

For Model Y performance the tires can’t be rotated because they’re staggered. Some people suggest moving them from side to side but I don’t see the point in that.

[marcialabrahantes]

The 12V alert is not reliable. It'll show once, and only once 5 minutes before it dies for good.

I'd suggest buying a spare and keeping it on the frunk or under the hood compartment. But it's ok we all learn from the first headache.

[rickeybarnes]

After market cabin air filters on my 2021 Y performance didn’t work to well against keeping out exhaust fumes out of the cabin. The design is poor because you can see the sunlight coming through the filter. I replaced it with the oem filter which works and keeps outside exhaust fumes from entering the car cabin.

[HimeMarieMC]

Hey!! Can you do a mini tutorial on the windshield washer? Any recommendations you use on it? Thanks!!

[nated]

You failed to mention drive unit oil and filter. If you have an AWD Tesla, double it, because you have two drive units.

[angry]

When a Tesla is beyond a extended warranty, how much $$$ too change a battery pack or replace one of the multiple electric motors most Tesla have? I usually drive my Honda Civics beyond 300, 000 miles, currently have a Ford Maverick Hybrid.

[laffytaffykidd]

Have you ever run into a problem where your Tesla's LTE or Wi-Fi does not automatically work when you enter the car? I've had this happen several times and the only way to fix it for me was to just drive for a few miles and it'll eventually connect to LTE.

[mele]

Hi Chris . How much does Tesla charge to rotate the tires ? Thanks

[JJJosh]

Dude are you in Cali? The neighborhood looks beautiful!
