For new Tesla EVs, the battery and drive warranty depend on the model. All Tesla Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck variants have an eight-year or 150,000-mile battery warranty. In addition, Tesla guarantees a minimum 70% battery capacity retention within the warranty period, and the automaker will repair or replace the unit with a new, reconditioned, or re-manufactured part at Tesla’s discretion.
On the other hand, the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y RWD have an eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty. At the same time, there’s an eight-year/120,000-mile battery warranty for the Long Range and Performance Model 3s, as well as the Model Y All-Wheel Drive, Performance, and Long Range.
Meanwhile, the Tesla body rust limited warranty covers rust perforation from materials or quality defects for 12 years and unlimited miles. However, Tesla states the warranty only covers rust, holes, or perforations “through the body panel from the inside outwards.”
Moreover, the warranty does not cover corrosion from defects in non-Tesla manufactured or supplied materials, perforation from the outside-in like paint scratches and stone chips, or those resulting from abuse, accidents, neglect, exposure to chemical substances, acts of God, fire, or improper storage.
The Tesla New Vehicle Limited Warranty includes a limited parts, body, and paint repair warranty, which provides a limited lifetime warranty for the sheet metal, a two-year/25,000-mile warranty for the touchscreen and media control unit, and a four-year warranty for the wall connectors.
