I mean, you take your car in to the shop once a year for its inspection, they take care of it all for you. The only difference with the BEV is they don't charge you $X0 for the oil change.

The recommended frequency for Tesla appears to be every two years, check brake fluids and replace cabin air filter. Lots of Tesla owners don’t bother outside of tire changes.

Yeah, plus changing your own cabin air filter is dead simple, and brake fluid can easily go 3 years with a quality fluid.

NYS doesn't really recommend yearly inspections.
