What does the Tesla Model 3 warranty cover?

I’m having some issues with my new Tesla—it’s just not driving like it did when I first got it. But I’m not sure what the warranty covers and whether I’ll have to pay for repairs out of pocket.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your
Tesla
, but your warranty coverage is pretty comprehensive—hopefully, it’ll take care of you. The
Tesla Model 3
warranty covers:
  • 4 years/50,000 miles basic vehicle “bumper-to-bumper”
  • 5 years/60,000 miles supplemental restraint system
  • 1 year/12,500 miles parts, body, and paint repair
This warranty will cover the cost of most repairs with only a few exceptions. You’ll also have a Battery and Drive Unit warranty, which covers repairs and replacements necessary to correct defects. Its mileage limit will depend on the trim of the Model 3 you selected:
  • Model 3 RWD—8-year/100,000-mile
  • Model 3 Long Range and Performance—8-year/120,000-miles
Hopefully, you’ll rest easier knowing whatever is ailing your Tesla will likely be covered under at least one of its warranties. But remember—your warranty will only cover you for manufacturer defects. When you need help paying for damages caused in a car accident or by other occurrences, you need to look at a solid
car insurance
policy.
To make sure you always have the best coverage at the best price, shop for your car insurance with the
Jerry
app. It’s quick and easy, and the average user saves more than $800 per year on their premium when switching with Jerry.
