Wait there is no service schedule? Surely there's at least a recommended schedule, but not following it won't void the warranty?

I mean recurring things like changing (passenger) air filters or brake fluid work about the same for a Tesla as it does for any other car?

(I don't worry so much about the warranty as I do about the resale value when I follow the schedule to the day for my car - I wouldn't want to buy a new-ish car that didn't go to the brand shop on the mandated intervals. Third party service or missed service visit is a huge red flag).

Yes, there is a service schedule:

    Brake fluid health check every 4 years (replace if necessary)*.
    Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years.
    Clean and lubricate brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads are salted during winter.
    Rotate tires every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater, whichever comes first.
