How long is Tesla’s battery warranty?
Does Tesla have a standard battery warranty? How long is it? Should I upgrade to the extended warranty?
Jacqulyn Graber · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Every new Tesla comes standard with the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which includes the Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty, the Supplemental Restraint System Limited Warranty, and the Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty.
The coverage terms of the Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty depend on which Tesla you own:
- Model S: 8 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period
- Model X: 8 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period
- Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive: 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period
- Model 3 Long Range: 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period
- Model 3 Performance: 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period
- Model Y Long Range: 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period
- Model Y Performance: 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period
If you purchase your Tesla used, the remaining balance of the original Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty still applies.
