Service Intervals
Regular maintenance is the key to ensuring
the continued reliability and eciency 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 20,000 km, whichever comes
first. It is
also important to perform the daily and
monthly checks described below.
Model X should be serviced by
Tesla-certified
technicians. Damages or failures caused by
maintenance or repairs performed by non-
Tesla
certified technicians are not covered by
the warranty.
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 163).
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 174).
Check that the air conditioning system is
operating correctly (see Climate Controls
on page 126).
Warning:
Contact Tesla immediately if
you notice any significant or sudden drop
in fluid levels or uneven tire wear.
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:
Brake
fluid. Every 2 years or 40,000 km,
whichever comes first.
Battery coolant. Every 4 years or
80,000 km, whichever comes first.
Note: Any damage caused by opening the
Battery coolant reservoir is excluded from the
warranty.
High Voltage Safety
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:
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 user-
serviceable 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
o.
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.
