The Tesla Model Y requires significantly less maintenance than traditional petrol cars, with no need for oil changes, spark plugs, or transmission fluid. However, regular maintenance is still needed: rotate tyres every 10,000-12,000 km, replace brake fluid every 2 years, and replace the cabin air filter every 2-3 years. For daily charging, charge to 80-90%, and only charge to 100% for long trips, which helps extend battery life. Tesla recommends regularly checking battery health via the mobile app or service centre.
