What is the Tesla Model S warranty?

I’ve read that most Tesla vehicles are reliable, but they haven’t really been around long enough to assess their long-term dependability. I may buy one, but I want to make sure that it comes with a great warranty. What is the warranty on a Tesla Model S?

All Tesla models, including the
Tesla Model S
, are protected with a new car warranty. This multi-part warranty provides protection on most parts of the Tesla, provided that it’s a manufacturer’s defect or a problem with craftsmanship.
The three parts of the Tesla Model S warranty include:
  • 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, also known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty
  • 8-year, unlimited miles powertrain warranty
  • 8-year/150,000-mile battery warranty, which ensures that the battery maintains 70% of its capacity or more during the timeframe.
If you decide to buy a Tesla, note that insurance can get rather expensive due to the complex underpinnings and high repair costs. So while you’re shopping for your car, download the
