How long is the Tesla Model 3 warranty?

I’m finally buying a Tesla and have decided on the Model 3! I’m already spending way over budget and need to still get a warranty as I won’t be able to afford any repairs if something happens. I really want a long warranty but I’m not sure what the terms are for this model. How long does a warranty for a Tesla Model 3 last?

Wow, what a great purchase! There are several Tesla Model 3 warranties and they vary based on the model you own.
If you go for the Battery and Drive Unit Warranty and you own a Long Range or a Performance model, the terms will be for 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. It also covers 70% retention of battery capacity over the warranty period.
Tesla warranties can differ based on the model you buy, so you should speak with someone at your dealership or speak directly to the manufacturer to determine the exact terms of your warranty.
Buying a warranty will make your initial investment in a Tesla a lot more expensive. Yet, it’s worth it. Tesla parts are expensive to repair or replace, so spending more upfront can save you a lot of money down the road. It’s best to get the warranty as long as it doesn’t stretch your budget too much.
While considering your warranty options, you should also take a long, hard look at your Tesla
