Does a Tesla warranty cover the battery?
Will the standard Tesla warranty cover the battery? I’m not sure how that works for electric cars since the battery is a bigger part of the engine.

Yes! A standard Tesla warranty covers the battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Your battery must also display a minimum 70% retention of battery capacity over the warranty period. While you’ll still need
insurance for your Tesla
, the warranty will ensure that you don’t have to pay for any factory mistakes or defects.Without the warranty, it costs between $13,000 and $14,000 to replace a Tesla battery. If you run into battery trouble after your eight years or 100,000 miles are up, you’ll need to save up to pay for repairs out of pocket instead.
One place to start saving is your
car insurance
