The warranty for the Tesla Model S battery covers it for eight years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first 🚗. This means that if your car’s battery loses more than 30% of its capacity during this time, Tesla will replace it to ensure it works properly 💻.
The warranty also includes protection against damage from a battery fire, which is important for safety 🔥. However, it does not cover damage that happened before a fire or if the car was already damaged beyond repair 🚫.
Tesla used to offer an unlimited mileage warranty for some models, but this is no longer available for new cars 🚫. If you have an older Model S with this warranty, it will still be valid, but new purchases will follow the standard eight-year or 150,000-mile limit 📆.
Replacing a Tesla battery outside of warranty can be expensive, costing between $10,000 and $20,000 💸. Therefore, taking good care of your battery and keeping it within the warranty terms is important to avoid these costs 📈.
