How does the Tesla battery warranty work?

I want to buy a Tesla, but the lack of repair knowledge worries me. If my battery goes kaput, does the Tesla battery warranty cover me?

Tesla is a reputable brand—but you’re right—not much is known about how long they last. Fortunately, the Tesla battery warranty works by replacing your battery free of charge if it fails in less than 8 years or 100,000 miles—whichever comes first.
If your battery is no longer under warranty, you’re going to pay a pretty penny to replace it. Put some money aside for unexpected repairs by using the
