    So are you saying you can’t currently do your own maintenance(at all)in your own garage?!?

    I've owned repaired gone to mechanic schools etc for 50 years.. brakes are just fine without anything other than brake service when the pads wear out..

    A remarkable amount of guessing on brake fluid. Changing brake fluid is a normal task on all cars. A modestly skilled home mechanic can do the change with a second person to work the pedals while the mechanic works the wrenches. The brake fluid going in is almost transparent and the old brake fluid is almost black. The fluid absorbs water and the old fluid will boil if over stressed, such as driving down a mountain. Then the brakes fade. Not a risk worth taking for a few bucks.

    Thanks for the 4 yr tip. Coming up on that with my 2015 Model S. Unfortunately the Master Charging Unit just crapped out on me beyond the warranty. Uh

    I do not know anyone who actually does brake work on a regular car, every 2 years. That is ultra cautious.

    4 year/50k mile change in the coolant is excessive. That coolant doesn't see the extremes of gas engine coolant and those change intervals are 100,000+ miles.

    FWIW, Nissan recommends the coolant in the Leaf be replaced at 115,000 miles or 15 years.

    My first car was a Toyota Corolla S which i owned for 5 years, around 55k miles, and not only did it not need a break fluid change yet, but the break pads were also still good. Around the time you need your transmission fluid replaced (in an engine powered vehicle), which is around 60-80k would be a good time, definitely not 25k. Now if you barely use your vehicle and it sits around collecting dust for 10 years then yeah i'd still get the fluids replaced after 4 or 5 years just because they've been in the car exposed to the elements for so long.

    Dam, Tesla maintenance cost is so much higher than gas car.
