Additional Notes
- The Tesla Roadster (USA) battery cooling system holds 7 liters of coolant, a figure that reflects the dedicated thermal management circuit designed to regulate the large lithium-ion battery pack rather than a conventional combustion engine.
- A 48-month service interval applies under normal use conditions for the battery cooling system, placing the coolant change on a four-year cycle rather than the shorter annual or mileage-based schedules common in internal combustion vehicle cooling systems.
- The 7-liter capacity is consistent with a service fill specification, representing the volume required during a routine coolant replacement rather than a full system overhaul that would typically account for additional fluid retained in components such as heat exchangers or expansion tanks.
- The normal use condition tied to the 48-month interval indicates the specification assumes standard operating environments, without a separate severe-use interval listed for the 2008-2011 model years covered by the specification.
