No, the Tesla Model S does not need a traditional oil change like cars with gasoline engines 🚗. This is because Tesla vehicles use electric motors, which do not require oil for operation, unlike the engines in traditional cars that need oil to lubricate moving parts 💡.
However, some parts of the Tesla Model S, like the gearbox in older models, use synthetic oil to ensure smooth operation 🛠️. For older Tesla Model S vehicles made before 2021, it is recommended to change this gearbox oil every 100,000 miles to maintain performance 📈.
Newer Tesla models have improved systems with oil filters that help extend the life of the lubricant, meaning oil changes are not needed as frequently, if at all 🚀. Overall, owning a Tesla Model S simplifies maintenance compared to traditional vehicles, as it eliminates the need for regular oil changes 🌟.
