For a vehicle like the 2020 Tesla Model X, many traditional maintenance items you'd find on an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle are simply not present. There's no engine oil to change, no spark plugs to replace, no timing belt or chain to inspect, and no fuel filter. This significantly simplifies the maintenance schedule and often results in lower long-term running costs.
