As the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisp, it’s time to start thinking about fall maintenance for your Tesla Model Y. With over 50,000 miles on the odometer, it’s important to keep up with regular maintenance to ensure your vehicle stays in top condition. While Tesla provides a general guide online, it lacks specific details on what exactly needs to be done. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of annual maintenance tasks that I perform on my own Model Y, and I’m here to share them with you.
First and foremost, it’s important to check the condition of your wipers and replace them if needed. Wipers are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace, so it’s a quick and simple task to ensure optimal visibility during fall showers. While you’re at it, don’t forget to top off your washer fluid to keep your windshield clean and clear.
Next, it’s time to rotate your tires. Tesla now provides a feature that tracks how many miles it’s been since your last tire rotation, making it easier to stay on top of this important maintenance task. Whether you have a performance model with a staggered setup or not, rotating your tires regularly helps ensure even wear and optimal performance.
When it comes to the interior of your Model Y, don’t forget to replace the air filter and clean the evaporator. This helps maintain air quality inside your vehicle and prevents any musty odors from developing. Additionally, cleaning and resealing your seats, especially if you have white upholstery, can make them easier to maintain throughout the year.
Lastly, take the time to install any accessories you’ve purchased for your Tesla. Whether it’s a new cubby for extra storage or upgraded interior lights for better visibility, adding these accessories can enhance your driving experience and make your Model Y feel like new.
By following these annual maintenance tasks, you can keep your Tesla Model Y running smoothly and looking its best. Taking care of these small tasks now can help prevent bigger issues down the road and ensure that your vehicle stays in top condition for years to come. So as you prepare for fall, don’t forget to give your Model Y the TLC it deserves.
