What does the Tesla battery warranty cover?

For some reason I’m having trouble charging my Tesla Model S. I know that the car came with a battery warranty, but what exactly does that cover?

We’re sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Model S’s battery. Thankfully, the Model S is covered by an eight-year, 150,000-mile Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty.
Tesla’s Battery and Drive Unit Limited Warranty ensures that your Tesla’s battery will be repaired or replaced for free if it’s deemed defective. The length of this warranty coverage does, however, vary between different Tesla models. Here are the following battery warranty lengths for Tesla’s current lineup:
  • Tesla Model S and Model X: 8 years, 150,000 miles
  • Tesla Model 3 Long Range, Model 3 Performance, Model Y Long Range, and Model Y Performance: 8 years, 120,000 miles
  • Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive: 8 years, 100,000 miles
Ideally, your Tesla’s battery should last for 20+ years with proper care and regular maintenance. That being said, you can further protect your Tesla by investing in the most affordable, most reliable
