Tesla Garage Guide · personalized owner advice
What’s probably inside your Tesla?
Pick a model and model year for a practical briefing on its likely self-driving computer, infotainment processor, sensors, climate and low-voltage hardware—plus maintenance ideas for its age and a few things that make it interesting.
Model year provides a useful estimate, not an exact build sheet. Build month, factory, market, options, and retrofits can change the answer. The guide shows you how to verify everything in the car.

- On the touchscreen, open Controls → Software → Additional Vehicle Information. Check the Autopilot or AI computer, infotainment processor, audio system, heat pump, and other listed hardware.
- Open Controls → Service → Maintenance for the vehicle’s own maintenance summary and current recommendations.
- Use the Owner’s Manual on the touchscreen. Tesla says that version is tailored to the car’s configuration, market, and software.
Important: This is educational owner guidance, not a VIN decoder, diagnosis, recall lookup, warranty determination, or substitute for the Owner’s Manual or professional service. Hardware and maintenance recommendations can vary by configuration and region.
