You mean ‘screen wash.’

All I do regularly is tire alignment and rotation.
And top off washer fluid – that’s it.
Home Depot or Walmart sells a jug for $3-4. It’s easy to fill yourself! I just get my tires rotated and that’s it.

Unless you’re driving like a maniac, why would you need regular alignment? I’ve gone 300k miles with no need.

Then Tesla should probably fix that.

True. But how many Model 3s are really on unpaved roads? Probably a tiny percentage.

Live in a city with regular snow? Alignments become necessary.

Hyundai’s manual has a list of maintenance items.
Most are just checks to make sure everything’s running okay. It’s probably a good idea to let a mechanic take a look at the brakes once in a while, just to make sure everything’s wearing evenly.
The only thing I know of that’s actual maintenance is the low conductivity coolant in the Ioniq 5. Some of their newer EVs may not even use it.

True, $220 is high for alignment. Some places quoted me $160 for my EV because it’s heavier. But tire alignment on EVs really is important to avoid extra wear and costly fixes later on.
Unless there’s a software update needing a dealer visit, absolutely not. Tire shops will lube the hinges for free if you ask when you get an alignment.
