2:43 Hopefully the people saying "Oh, you can just leave the fluid in the case for the lifetime of the car with no problem" on the BEV sites will understand this. You a diff with its ring gear and the reduction transmission all using the same oil. Just change the oil and cheap spin-on filter at least every 75k miles or so.

@lylestavast7652 What are you talking about? Normal torque converter or DCT transmission fluid should be done at 75-100k miles and differential fluid around the same time.

@starshipdriver8536 Hahahaha. Yeah, ok. You do that. Let's see the condition of the fluid and filter after one million miles. It's sad how many Tesla guys see other ignorant info and just parrot it around as truth. It's a differential and reduction transmission sharing fluid with a twist-on filter! The ring gear will be done way before a million miles. Pay the $20 bucks at least every 75-100k miles and do the easy job...

@JR-ql5gl Exactly right. I had another discussion where I said the same thing to people on the InsideEVs echo chamber and about 90% disagreed with me, saying that it's "lifetime million miles fluid", simply because it wasn't noted in Tesla's general maintenance guidelines. There are many reasons why it wouldn't be. Either way it's basic sense to do it like in any other car for cheap preventative maintenance. I know the Tesla service centers do it but it's easy to do yourself too.
