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
eciency of
your Model X.
For more do-it-yourself maintenance procedures and
information, see
https://www.tesla.com/support/do-it-
yourself-guides.
For more information on vehicle alerts, see
Troubleshooting Alerts on page 228.
• 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 3 years.
•
Cabin air filter replacement every 3 years.
• HEPA filters and carbon filters 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 dierence is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater,
whichever comes first
NOTE: Any damage caused by opening the Battery
coolant reservoir is excluded from the warranty.
NOTE: The above intervals are based on typical driving
behaviors and scenarios. However,
Model X should
generally be serviced on an as-needed basis; depending
on various circumstances such as driving behavior,
usage, environmental conditions, etc., the above
maintenance items may need to be replaced more or
less frequently than
specified. 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.

service needed and follow the directions in the mobile
app. Provide as much detail as possible, such as:

occurred.
• Country of use and location.
• Approximate speed the vehicle was traveling (if
applicable).

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 190).
• 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 Seat Belts
on page 40).
•
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 196).
Monthly Checks
•
Check windshield washer fluid level and top up if
necessary (see
Topping Up Windshield Washer Fluid
on page 200).
•
Check that the air conditioning system is operating
correctly (see Climate Controls on page 136).
