Visit https://www.tesla.com/support/service-visits for more information on scheduling services.

Daily Checks

• Check the Battery’s charge level, displayed on the touchscreen or mobile app.
• Check the condition and pressure of each tire (see Tire Care and Maintenance on page 176).
• Check that all exterior lights, horns, turn signals, and wipers and washers are working.
• Check for any unexpected indicator lights or vehicle alerts on the touchscreen.
• Check the operation of the brakes, including the parking brake.
  NOTE: Because Model S. uses regenerative braking
  (see Regenerative Braking on page 75), the brake pads are typically used less frequently than those in traditional braking systems. To avoid the accumulation of rust and corrosion, Tesla recommends frequently pressing the brake pedal to apply the mechanical brakes, which dries the brake pads and rotors.
• Check the operation of the seat belts (see Seat Belts on page 33).
• Look for abnormal fluid deposits underneath Model S. 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 S. and immediately remove any corrosive substances (such as bird droppings, tree resin, tar spots, dead insects, industrial fallout, etc.) to prevent damage to the exterior (see Cleaning on page 183).

Weekly Checks

• During wet weather, clean Autopilot cameras weekly (see Cleaning a Camera on page 183). Otherwise, clean them monthly during dry weather.

Monthly Checks

• Check the windshield washer fluid level and top up if necessary (see Topping Up Windshield Washer Fluid on page 187).
• Check that the air conditioning system is operating correctly (see Operating Climate Controls on page 137).

NOTE: In addition to cooling the interior, the air conditioning compressor also cools the Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air conditioning compressor can turn on even if you turn it off. This is normal because the system’s priority is to cool the Battery to ensure it stays within an optimum temperature range to support longevity and optimum performance. Also, even when not in use, you may hear Model S emit a whining noise or the sound of water circulating. These sounds are normal and occur when the internal cooling systems turn on to support various vehicle functions, such as maintaining the low-voltage battery and balancing the temperature of the high-voltage Battery.

WARNING: Schedule a service appointment if you notice any significant or sudden drop in fluid levels or uneven tyre wear.

Fluid Replacement Intervals

Battery coolant and brake fluid levels should only be checked by Tesla or a professional automotive repair shop. Specific service information is available in the Service Manual.

• Battery coolant: Your Battery coolant does not need to be replaced for the life of your vehicle under most circumstances.
  NOTE: Any damage caused by opening the Battery coolant reservoir is excluded from the warranty.
• Brake fluid: Do not top up your brake fluid.

Software

Updating software is important to ensure the proper operation and longevity of your vehicle’s components. You must install a software update at the earliest opportunity. See Software Updates on page 172.
Tesla may update or reinstall your vehicle’s software as part of the normal diagnostic, repair, and maintenance process within Service.

High Voltage Safety

Your Model S has been designed and built with safety as a priority. However, be aware of these precautions to protect yourself from the risk of injury inherent in all high-voltage systems:

• Read and follow all instructions provided on the labels that are attached to Model S. These labels are there for your safety.
• The high-voltage system has no user-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble, remove or replace high-voltage components, cables or connectors. High-voltage cables are coloured orange for easy identification.
• If a collision occurs, do not touch any high-voltage wiring, connectors, or components connected to the wiring.
• In the unlikely event that a fire occurs, immediately contact your local fire emergency responders.

WARNING: Always disconnect the charging cable before working underneath the Model S, even if charging is not in progress.

WARNING: Keep your hands and clothing away from cooling fans. Some fans operate even when the Model S3 is powered off.

WARNING: Some fluids (Battery acid, Battery coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer additives, etc.) used in vehicles are poisonous and should not be inhaled, swallowed, or brought into contact with open wounds. For your safety, always read and follow the instructions printed on fluid containers.

Displaying Tire Pressures

Tire pressures display on the touchscreen in the area of the card on the car status display, or by touching Controls > Service. The pressure of each tyre is displayed in the visualization of your Model S, in addition to what time your tyre pressures were last measured. The touchscreen also displays your vehicle’s recommended cold tyre pressures so you can easily determine how much to inflate your tyres. You can choose whether you want to display tire pressures using Bar or PSI by touching Controls > Display > Tyre Pressure.
You can also view tyre pressures in the Tesla mobile app.

NOTE: You may need to drive briefly before the visualization displays the tyre pressure values.

Maintaining Tire Pressures

Keep tires inflated to the pressures shown on the Tire and Loading Information label, even if it differs from the pressure printed on the tire itself. The Tire and Loading Information label is located on the center door pillar and is visible when the driver door is open.

The Tire Pressure indicator light on the touchscreen alerts you if one or more tires are under or over-inflated.

 

The Tire Pressure indicator light does not immediately turn off when you adjust tire pressure. After inflating the tire to the recommended pressure, you must drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for a short amount of time to activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which turns off the Tire Pressure indicator light.

If the indicator light flashes for one minute whenever you power on Model S, a fault with the TPMS is detected (see TPMS Malfunction on page 190).

NOTE: Your vehicle’s tyre pressures will drop in cold ambient temperatures. If the TPMS indicator light appears, inflate the tyres before driving. The tyres will lose one PSI for every 10° F (6° C) drop in outside temperature. Proper tyre pressures help protect tyres from potholes and improve range when properly inflated.

WARNING: Under-inflation is the most common cause of tyre failures and can cause a tyre to overheat, resulting in severe tyre cracking, tread separation, or blowout, resulting in unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Underinflation also reduces the vehicle’s range and tyre tread life.

WARNING: Check tyre pressures using an accurate pressure gauge when tyres are cold. It takes only about one mile (1.6 km) of driving to warm up the tyres sufficiently to affect tyre pressures. Parking the vehicle in direct sunlight or hot weather can also affect tyre pressure. If you must check warm tyres, expect increased pressure. Do not let the air out of warm tyres in an attempt to match recommended cold tyre pressures. A hot tyre at or below the recommended cold tyre inflation pressure is dangerously under-inflated.

Checking and Adjusting Tire Pressures

Follow these steps when tyres are cold and Model S has been stationary for over three hours:

1. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label located on the driver’s center door pillar for the target tire pressure.
2. Remove the valve cap.
3. Firmly press an accurate tyre pressure gauge onto the valve to measure pressure.
4. If required, add or remove air to reach the recommended pressure.
   NOTE: You can release air by pressing the metal stem in the centre of the valve.
5. Re-check pressure using the accurate tyre gauge.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary until the tyre pressure is correct.
7. Reinstall the valve cap to prevent dirt from entering. Periodically check the valve for damage and leaks.

Inspecting and Maintaining Tires

Regularly inspect the tread and sidewalls for any sign of distortion (bulges), foreign objects, cuts or wear.

WARNING: Do not drive Model S if a tyre is damaged, excessively worn, or inflated to an incorrect pressure. Check tyres regularly for wear, and ensure there are no cuts, bulges or exposure of the ply/cord structure.

Tyre Wear

Adequate tread depth is important for proper tyre performance. Tyres with a tread depth of less than 4/32”
(3 mm) are more likely to hydroplane in wet conditions and should not be used. Tires with a tread depth of less than 5/32” (4 mm) do not perform well in snow and slush and should not be used when driving in winter conditions.
Model S is originally fitted with tyres that have wear indicators moulded into the tread pattern. When the tread has been worn down to 4/32” (3 mm), the indicators start to appear at the surface of the tread pattern, producing the effect of a continuous band of rubber across the width of the tyre. For optimal performance and safety, Tesla recommends replacing tyres before the wear indicators are visible.
To improve vehicle handling characteristics and minimize hydroplaning in wet conditions, put tyres with the most tread on the rear of the car.

Tire Rotation, Balance, and Wheel Alignment

Tesla recommends rotating the tyres every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if the tread depth difference is 2/32″ (1.5 mm) or greater, whichever comes first.
Tyre rotation is an essential part of tire maintenance. It helps maintain an even treadwear pattern which enhances the tyre’s overall wear quality, decreases road noise and maximizes tyre life.
Unbalanced wheels (sometimes noticeable as vibration through the steering wheel) affect vehicle handling and tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as required.
If tyre wear is uneven (on one side of the tyre only) or becomes abnormally excessive, check the wheel alignment. If the tires need to be serviced, such as rotated or replaced, reset the tire configuration (see Tire Configuration on page 180) to improve your driving experience.

Punctured Tires

A puncture eventually causes the tyre to lose pressure, which is why it is important to check tyre pressures frequently. Permanently repair or replace punctured or damaged tyres as soon as possible.
Your tubeless tyres may not leak when penetrated, provided the object remains in the tyre. If, however, you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving, or you suspect a tyre is damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive slowly, while avoiding heavy braking or sharp steering and, when safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Arrange to have Model S transported to a Tesla Service Center or a nearby tyre repair centre.

NOTE: In some cases, you can temporarily repair small tyre punctures (under 1/4” (6 mm)) using an optional tyre repair kit available from Tesla. This allows you to slowly drive the Model S to Tesla or a nearby tyre repair facility.

WARNING: Do not drive with a punctured tyre that has not been repaired, even if the puncture has not caused the tyre to deflate. A punctured tyre can deflate suddenly at any time.

Flat Spots

If Model S is stationary for a long period, tyres can form flat spots. When Model S is driven, these flat spots cause a vibration which gradually disappears as the tyres warm up and regain their original shape.
To minimize flat spots during storage, inflate tyres to the maximum pressure indicated on the tyre wall. Then, before driving, release air to adjust tyre pressure to the recommended levels.

Improving Tire Mileage

To improve the mileage you get from your tyres, maintain tyres at the recommended tyre pressures, observe speed limits and advisory speeds, and avoid:

• Pulling away quickly, or hard acceleration.
• Fast turns and heavy braking.
• Potholes and objects in the road.
• Hitting curbs when parking.
• Contaminating tyres with fluids that can cause damage.

Replacing Tires and Wheels

Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that tyres be replaced every six years, or sooner if required, even if the tread depth is above the minimum.
When a tyre set becomes worn, replace all four tyres at the same time. Choose a Tesla-approved tyre which is designed specifically for your vehicle. Most Tesla-approved tyres can be identified with a TX specification (for example, T0, T1, T2). Tesla-approved tyres are designed to reduce road noise and optimize handling, ride, and range.
If tyres need to be replaced early, for example, due to a flat tyre, we recommend replacing the tyres in pairs unless the other tyres are within 2/32 in (1.5 mm) of tread depth of the new tyre. When replacing tyres, it is important to match the brand and model of the older tyres. Always place a pair of new tyres on the rear if all four tyres are the same size. Always balance the wheel and tyre after replacing a tyre. Consult with a professional tyre retailer and installer for further guidance. If you replace your tires or install different ones, reset the tire configuration (see Tire Configuration on page 180). This resets the learned tyre settings and improves the driving experience on your new tyres. It may take up to 24 hours after a tyre replacement or repair before the tyre lubricant is completely dry and the tyres achieve maximum adherence to the rims. Avoid hard accelerations during this period to avoid tyre slip on the rim.

NOTE: Regardless of the number of tyres replaced, a complete set of matching tyres is recommended for optimum performance.

If tires other than those specified are used, ensure that the load and speed ratings marked on the tire (see Understanding Tyre Markings on page 202) equal or exceed those of the original specification.
For the specification of the original wheels and tyres installed on Model S, see Wheels and tyres on page 201.
If you replace a wheel, the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors need to be reset to ensure they provide accurate warnings when tires are under or over-inflated (see Automatic Reset of TPMS Sensors on page 180).

NOTE: Installing winter tyres with an aggressive compound and tread design may result in temporarily reduced regenerative braking power. However, your vehicle is designed to continuously recalibrate itself, and after changing tyres it will increasingly restore regenerative braking power after some moderate-torque straight-line accelerations. For most drivers, this occurs after a short period of normal driving, but drivers who normally accelerate lightly may need to use slightly harder accelerations while the recalibration is in progress. Go to Service > Wheel & Tire > Tires to select winter tires and quicken this process.

WARNING: For your safety, use only tyres and wheels that match the original specification. Tires that do not match the original specification can affect the operation of the TPMS.

WARNING: Never exceed the speed rating of your vehicle’s tyres. The speed rating is shown on the sidewall of your tires (see Understanding Tire Markings on page 202).

Asymmetric Tires

Some Model S tyres are asymmetric and must be mounted on the wheel with the correct sidewall facing outward. The sidewall of the tyre is marked with the word OUTSIDE. When new tyres are installed, make sure that the tyres are correctly mounted on the wheels.

WARNING: Road holding is seriously impaired if the tyres are incorrectly installed on the wheels.

Removing and Installing Aero Covers
If your Model S is equipped with aero covers, you must remove them to access the lug nuts.
To remove an aero cover:

1. Grasp the aero cover firmly with both hands.
2. Pull the aero cover toward you to release the retaining clips.

To install an aero cover:

1. Align the aero cover with the valve stem.
2. Firmly press the centre of the cover to secure it in place, then work your way out to firmly press the outer perimeter of each spoke. You may need to hold onto the opposite side of the cover until all spokes are secured.
3. Firmly press the centre of the cap with your hands (do not hit the cover with your hands) to ensure it is secured.
4. As a final check, quickly pull each spoke to confirm they are secured in place.

For Gemini wheels, press on the perimeter of the cover until it aligns with the wheel surface. Press on the Tesla “T” in the center until the cap snaps into place. See Parts and Accessories on page 199 for more information.

CAUTION: To prevent the aero cover from falling off, ensure that it is fully secured before driving.

Wheel Configuration

If you are installing new wheels or swapping them for different ones, update your vehicle’s wheel configuration by touching Controls > Service > Wheel & Tyre> Wheels. This allows Model S to learn the new wheels and provide more accurate status updates on your vehicle. Select a wheel from the drop-down menu that matches the new wheels you plan to install on Model S. Selecting new wheels in the wheel configuration also changes the wheels that appear on your vehicle’s avatar on the touchscreen.
Ensure you are aware that your vehicle is equipped with staggered wheels, meaning the wheels are different sizes in the front and rear. Check the front and rear tyre sizes marked on the tyre sidewall to see if they match or are different sizes. If the wheels are staggered, take extra precautions to ensure the new wheels you install are staggered in the same way as the previous wheels.

NOTE:  Changing your vehicle’s wheel configuration can impact range estimates, tyre pressure warning levels, and vehicle visualization.

WARNING: Only use Tesla-approved wheels when installing or swapping wheels. Using non-Tesla-approved wheels can cause serious damage. Tesla is not liable for damage caused by using wheels not approved by Tesla.

Tire Configuration

To see the miles driven since your last tire rotation or replacement, touch Controls > Service and look under Last Tire Service. After the tires on Model S are rotated, replaced, or swapped, update your vehicle’s tire configuration by touching Reset, or by touching Wheel & Tire > Tires from the same screen. This allows your vehicle to reset the learned tyre settings and improve your driving experience.  This also clears and resets the tread wear alert for the vehicle until you travel 6,250 miles (10,000 km) and low tread depth is detected again.
Ensure you are aware if your vehicle is equipped with winter tyres. Winter tyres can be identified by a mountain and snowflake icon on the tyres’ sidewall. See Winter tyres on page 181 for more information.

NOTE: Changing your vehicle’s tyre configuration can temporarily impact acceleration and regenerative braking levels and should only be done after the tyres have been rotated or replaced.

Tire Pressure Monitoring

Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the recommended pressures that are printed on the Tire and Loading Information label located on the driver’s door pillar (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 176). If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label, determine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a TPMS that displays a tire pressure telltale (Tire Pressure Warning) on the touchscreen when one or more of your tires is significantly under or over-inflated. Accordingly, when the Tire Pressure indicator light displays on the touchscreen to alert you about tire pressure, stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on page 176). Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces range efficiency and tyre tread life and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

If Model S detects a fault with the TPMS, this indicator flashes for one minute whenever you power on Model S.

 

NOTE: Installing accessories that are not approved by Tesla can interfere with the TPMS.

WARNING: The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, including manually checking tyre pressures and regularly inspecting the condition of tyres. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under or over-inflation has not reached the level for the TPMS to trigger the Tire Pressure Warning on the touchscreen.

Automatic Reset of TPMS Sensors

After replacing one or more wheels (but not after replacing a tyre), the TPMS sensors are relearned to ensure tyre pressure warnings are accurate. TPMS sensors reset automatically within 10 minutes of driving over 15 mph (25 km/h).

WARNING: If your Model S is equipped with aftermarket tires that differ in size from those printed on the Tire and Loading Loading Information Label (see Vehicle Loading on page 195), it is the driver’s responsibility to determine the correct tire pressure. Do not drive on public roads when tyres are not inflated to the correct pressure.

WARNING: Do not depend on TPMS sensors to accurately determine pressures and trigger alerts. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressures (see Maintaining Tyre Pressures on page 176). Over or under-inflated tyres can result in loss of control or tyre damage, which can lead to serious injury.

Replacing a Tire Sensor

If the Tire Pressure warning indicator displays frequently, use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment to determine if a tire sensor needs to be replaced. If a non-Tesla Service Center repairs or replaces a tyre, the tyre sensor may not work until Tesla performs the setup procedure.

TPMS Malfunction

Model S has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the tyre pressure indicator light. When the system detects a malfunction, the indicator flashes for approximately one minute and then remains continuously lit. This sequence continues upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the TPMS malfunction indicator is on, the system might not be able to detect or signal under or over-inflated tyres as intended.
TPMS malfunctions can occur for a variety of reasons, including installing replacement or alternate tyres or wheels that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction indicator light after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement tyres or wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTE: If a tyre has been replaced or repaired using a different tyre sealant than the one available from Tesla, and a low tyre pressure is detected, the tyre sensor may have been damaged.

Seasonal Tire Types

Understand Your Tyre Type
The type of tyres that your vehicle is originally equipped with depends on the vehicle model and market region. It is important to understand the capabilities of your vehicle’s tyres and whether they are suited for summer, all-season, or winter driving. Check the information on the sidewall of a tire for information about a tire’s performance characteristics (see Understanding Tire Markings on page 209).

Summer and All-Season Tires
Summer tyres and all-season tyres are designed for maximum dry and wet road performance but are not designed to perform well in winter conditions. All-season tyres are designed to provide adequate traction in most conditions year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tyres in snowy or icy conditions. All-season tyres can be identified by “ALL SEASON” and/or “M+S” (mud and snow) on the tyre sidewall.
If driving in cold temperatures or on roads where snow or ice may be present, Tesla recommends using winter tyres.

WARNING: In cold temperatures or on snow or ice, summer and all-season tyres do not provide adequate traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tyres for winter conditions is important to ensure the safety and optimum performance of your Model S.

Winter Tires
Use winter tyres to increase traction in snowy or icy conditions. When installing winter tyres, always install a complete set of four tyres at the same time. Winter tyres must be the same diameter, brand, construction and tread pattern on all four wheels.

Winter tyres can be identified by a mountain/snowflake symbol on the tyre’s sidewall.

 

When driving with winter tyres, you may experience more road noise, shorter tread life, and less traction on dry roads.

Driving in Low Temperatures

Tire performance is reduced in low ambient temperatures, resulting in reduced grip and an increased susceptibility to damage from impacts. Performance tires (summer applications) have reduced traction in ambient temperatures below 40° F (5° C), and are not recommended in snow/ice conditions. Performance tyres can temporarily harden when cold, causing you to hear rotational noise for the first few miles (kilometres) until the tyres warm up.

Using Tire Chains

Tesla has tested and approved the following tyre chains (also called snow chains) to increase traction in snowy conditions. Tyre chains should only be installed on the rear tyres. The approved tyre chains can be purchased from Tesla.

Tyre Size	Recommended Chain
19″	KONIG K-SUMMIT

Do not use tyre chains on 21″ tyres.

CAUTION: Do not put tyre chains on summer tyres, doing so can cause damage.

When installing tyre chains, follow the instructions and warnings provided by the tyre chain manufacturer. Mount them evenly and as tight as possible.
When using tyre chains:

• Inspect the tyre chains for loose fittings and damaged links before each use.
• Set air suspension (if equipped) to Medium and turn off the Default Ride Height to Low setting (see Air Suspension on page 81).
• Set air suspension to Medium and turn off the Default Ride Height to Low setting.
• Avoid heavily loading Model S (heavy loads can reduce the clearance between the tyres and the body).
• Do not drive the vehicle without the chains properly installed.
• Drive slowly. Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Remove the tyre chains as soon as conditions allow.

NOTE: Tire chains are prohibited in some jurisdictions. Check local laws before installing tyre chains.

CAUTION: Using non-recommended tyre chains, or using tyre chains on other sized tyres can damage the suspension, body, wheels, and/or brake lines. Damage caused by using non-recommended tyre chains, or incorrectly installing tyre chains, is not covered by the warranty.

CAUTION: Do not use snow chains on the front tyres.

CAUTION: Never deflate your tyres to put on tyre chains. When re-inflated, the chains might fit too tightly and cause tyre damage.

CAUTION: Ensure that the tyre chains cannot touch suspension components or brake lines. If you hear the chains making unusual noises that would indicate contact with Model S, stop and investigate immediately.
