Quoted:

Original Medicare benefits cover a number of vaccinations under Part B, including the flu shot; however, the program does not typically cover voluntary vaccinations against preventable disease that are generally acquired through travel abroad. As a result, if you opt to travel outside of the United States to an area of the world where a disease is more prevalent, you will likely need to pay for the vaccine yourself. This is because Medicare benefits offer coverage for medically necessary items, and if you’re electing to travel, then you are assuming the risk.

It is possible that a Medicare Advantage plan may provide added benefits for travel vaccinations. Additionally, you may be able to find specific travel insurance plans outside of Medicare that provide coverage for travel-related medical coverage, including vaccines.

Update – It depends on your pharmacy coverage. My Wellcare Drug Plan cover it.

Practically, Tesla tires last 20K – 40K miles. So, if you drive 10K miles a year, you’ll need a new set of tires in three years. Tesla recommends rotating your car’s tires every 6,250 miles. If the tread depth difference reaches 2/32 (1.5 mm) or more before that, you needn’t wait to hit 6k miles.

Unlike gasoline cars, Tesla vehicles require no traditional oil changes, fuel system maintenance, spark plug replacements or emission checks. Even brake pad replacements are rare because regenerative braking returns energy to the battery, significantly reducing wear on the brakes.

Check your owner’s manual for latest maintenance recommendations for your Tesla vehicle.

Recommended Maintenance Service

Cabin Air Filter

Your Tesla vehicle is equipped with an air filter that prevents pollen, industrial fallout, road dust and other particles from entering through the vents. We recommend the following cabin air filter replacement schedule:

Model 3 Model Y	Replace your cabin air filter every 2 years.
Model S Model X	Replace your cabin air filter every 3 years.*

Tire Rotation, Balance and Wheel Alignment

We recommend rotating your tires every 6,250 miles or if the difference of tread depth between two of your tires is 2/32 inches or greater, whichever comes first. Aggressive driving can lead to accelerated tire wear and may require more frequent tire service. Wheels and tires that are unbalanced and misaligned can impact handling, tire life and steering components. Refer to tire manufacturer’s owner manuals and warranty documentation for additional details.

Medicare Plan G, also known as Medicare Supplement Plan G, is a type of Medicare supplement insurance policy offered by private insurance companies to fill the gaps in coverage left by Original Medicare (Part A and Part B).

Medicare Supplement Plan G provides coverage for the following benefits:

1. Medicare Part A coinsurance and hospital costs
2. Medicare Part A hospice care coinsurance or copayment
3. Medicare Part A deductible
4. Medicare Part B coinsurance or copayment
5. Medicare Part B excess charges
6. Skilled nursing facility care coinsurance
7. First three pints of blood for a medical procedure

The only out-of-pocket cost not covered by Medicare Supplement Plan G is the Medicare Part B deductible, which beneficiaries must pay before Medicare covers their outpatient services.

Plan G offers comprehensive coverage and is often considered a good option for those who want extensive coverage without the potentially higher premiums associated with Medicare Supplement Plan F.

It’s important to note that Medicare Supplement plans are standardized by the federal government, so Plan G will offer the same basic benefits regardless of which insurance company sells it. However, premiums and availability may vary by location and insurance provider.
