How often should the Model 3 be serviced?

[Alexa]

This vehicle can be serviced once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details of the Tesla Model 3: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Model 3 is a mid-sized electric vehicle with a wheelbase of 2875 mm, and its length, width, and height are 4694 mm, 1850 mm, and 1443 mm, respectively. 2. Powertrain: The Model 3 comes in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The all-wheel drive version features dual motors, while the rear-wheel drive version has a single motor. The all-wheel drive Model 3 has a combined motor power of 340 kW and a combined torque of 639 Nm. The rear-wheel drive version has a maximum motor power of 202 kW and a maximum torque of 404 Nm. 3. Battery: The Model 3 is equipped with ternary lithium batteries across all variants, which offer higher energy density and are lighter in weight.

Actually, the maintenance logic of the Model 3 is completely different from that of traditional fuel-powered cars. When I first started driving this car, I was always concerned about changing the engine oil and oil filter, only to realize later that it wasn’t necessary at all! The key is to follow the reminders from the car’s system, which monitors tire pressure, brake fluid status, and the air conditioning system in real time. Tires, however, require more frequent attention—especially if you often drive on highways, checking for symmetrical tread wear every 10,000 kilometers. The air filter can be replaced based on usage conditions; in northern cities with heavy smog, changing it every two years is sufficient. Oh, and brake calipers in cold regions tend to accumulate salt, so I always ask the car wash staff to focus on rinsing them thoroughly. The biggest maintenance expense for this car might just be replacing the tires. For other items, a full vehicle inspection at the service center every two years is more than enough.

As a veteran Model 3 owner with three years of experience, my advice is that a fixed maintenance schedule isn't necessary. However, there are several key points I always monitor: I manually check windshield fluid and brake pad thickness every six months, especially inspecting wiper rubber strips before winter. Brake fluid status can be viewed anytime on the car's display, with replacement typically prompted around 40,000 km. After every major system update, I deliberately test for any changes in steering feel and brake pedal response. The most easily overlooked item is the battery cooling system intake - when I notice willow catkins or leaves blocking it, I use a vacuum cleaner to clear them. The service center recently recommended a comprehensive steering system and chassis bolt inspection every two years, but otherwise I rely entirely on the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system to alert me of any issues.

The core maintenance of Model 3 boils down to three things: tires, cabin air filters, and the braking system. Tires must be rotated front-to-back every 8,000 km - otherwise, the rear tires on RWD models can wear twice as fast as the fronts! Cabin air filters should ideally be replaced annually, especially for pollen allergy sufferers. Brake fluid only needs testing every three years. I often joke with friends that the biggest maintenance for EVs is car washes - after all, the savings on maintenance get spent keeping the car shiny. Pay special attention to cleaning wheel speed sensors; last time I got a false fault warning due to excessive brake dust buildup on the rims. Always clear snow accumulation under the chassis after winter storms to prevent corrosion on battery pack edge structures.
