    Common issues / tips

    The most important "fluid" related maintenance for a Tesla Model S would be checking the coolant levels for the battery and motor, and monitoring brake fluid. Consult your owner's manual for recommended service intervals for these items. While there's no engine oil to change, electric vehicles still require regular maintenance, including tire rotations, brake inspections, and cabin air filter replacements.
