Maintenance Schedule
Service Intervals
•
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring the continued reliability and efficiency of your Model X.
•
Maintain the correct tire pressures, and take Model X to Tesla at the regularly scheduled maintenance intervals of every 12 months, or every 12,500 miles (20,000 km), whichever comes first. It is also important to perform the daily and monthly checks described below.
Note: Any damage caused by opening the Battery coolant reservoir is excluded from the warranty.
High Voltage Safety
Model X should be serviced by Tesla-certified technicians. Damages or failures caused by maintenance or repairs performed by nonTesla certified technicians are not covered by the warranty.
Your Model X 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:
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 160). Check that all exterior lights, horn, turn signals, and wipers and washers are working. Check the operation of the brakes, including the parking brake. Check the operation of the seat belts (see Seat Belts on page 27). 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).
Monthly Checks •
•
Check windshield washer fluid level and top up if necessary (see Topping Up Washer Fluid on page 171). Check that the air conditioning system is operating correctly (see Climate Controls on page 123). Warning: Contact Tesla immediately if you notice any significant or sudden drop in fluid levels or uneven tire wear.

Brake fluid. Every 2 years or 25,000 miles (40,000 km), whichever comes first. Battery coolant. Every 4 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km), whichever comes first.
Read and follow all instructions provided on the labels that are attached to Model X. These labels are there for your safety. The high voltage system has no userserviceable parts. Do not disassemble, remove or replace high voltage components, cables or connectors. High voltage cables are colored 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 charge cable before working underneath Model X, even if charging is not in progress. Warning: Keep your hands and clothing away from cooling fans. Some fans operate even when Model X 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 instructions printed on fluid containers.
Fluid Replacement Intervals Do not change or top up the Battery coolant or brake fluid. Tesla service technicians replace fluids at the regularly scheduled service intervals: Maintenance
