What is due and when
| Interval | Action | Item | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Every 6,250 miles, or at 2/32 in. tread-depth difference | rotate | Tires | Rotation helps even out wear. Tesla says the tread-depth difference can trigger the service before the mileage interval. |
| Every 2 years | replace | Cabin air filters | These filters remove dust and other particles from air entering the cabin. |
| Every 3 years, if equipped | replace | HEPA and carbon filters | The separate HEPA system has its own replacement interval when fitted. |
| Every 4 years | test | Brake fluid | Tesla specifies a fluid health check and replacement only when the test indicates it is needed. |
| Every 12 months or 12,500 miles in salted-road regions | clean | Brake calipers | Cleaning and lubricating the calipers helps address corrosion where road salt is used in winter. |

Frequently asked questions
What is due at 6,250 miles on a 2026 Tesla Model Y?
Check tire tread depth across all four tires. Tesla recommends rotation at 6,250 miles or sooner when tread depth differs by at least 2/32 inch.
Does a 2026 Tesla Model Y need yearly service?
Tesla does not require a traditional annual service visit. A yearly brake-caliper service applies when the vehicle is driven where roads are salted, and normal safety checks should never be postponed.
Does Tesla require brake-fluid replacement every four years?
No. Tesla calls for a brake-fluid health check every four years and replacement only when the test shows it is needed.
