I just had my first year scheduled maintenance. I'm following schedule 2 (less severe) maintenance procedures. I change my own cabin filters and have Discount Tire rotate my tires for free. So I only needed the dealership to run the annual EV Battery Usage Report which is required to maintain your battery warranty. Also I needed them to reprogram the VCM per the voluntary recall.
I have my tires rotated every 5000 miles free of charge at Discount Tire. If you wait too long to have you tires rotated the front tires could have >1/16 more wear than the rear tires. Should that occur, tire shops won't rotate your tires. This issue has been reported previously in other threads.
It doesn't matter what your batteries state of charge is for the dealership to run an EV Battery Usage Report. It took the tech about an hour to run the report, reprogram the VCM, and do a vehicle inspection. Below are the EV Battery Usage Report and Multi-Point Inspection documents the dealership gave me. There was no charge for either of these services. In total my first year of maintenance cost $6 for a cabin filter that I purchased from RockAuto and ½ hour of time to install it. I hope this clears up some questions others have had regarding your first year scheduled maintenance.
