Used Tesla warranty

Used Tesla warranty coverage in El Cajon, CA

What is still covered when you buy a used Tesla

The expensive part of an electric car is the part with the longest warranty, and that warranty follows the vehicle rather than its first owner. For the used Teslas on our lot in El Cajon we record the date the battery coverage runs to, so you can see what is left before you come in.

Tesla's warranty, in short

Battery & drive unit

8 years

Up to 150,000 miles depending on model, with a minimum 70% battery capacity retention over the term. Transfers to you with the car.

Basic vehicle

4 years

Or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. On most used Teslas this has already elapsed - the battery coverage is the one that still matters.

Transferable

Yes

Tesla's new vehicle limited warranty runs with the vehicle, so the remaining balance passes to each subsequent owner.

Battery and drive unit terms vary by model: Model S and Model X are typically covered to 150,000 miles, Model Y and long-range Model 3 to 120,000 miles, and rear-wheel-drive Model 3 to 100,000 miles - each for 8 years, whichever comes first. Every vehicle page on this site shows the terms reported for that exact configuration, so check the car rather than the model.

Transfers with the car

The expensive part has the longest cover

Tesla's battery and drive unit warranty runs eight years and follows the vehicle rather than its first owner, so the balance is yours when you buy it.

Most used Teslas have long outlived the basic warranty while keeping years of battery coverage - which is the coverage that matters on an electric car.

Coverage also ends at the mileage limit for the vehicle, whichever comes first, and a date shown here does not by itself confirm the car is still within its mileage allowance. Confirm the exact terms with us before purchase.

Warranty questions

What transfers to you, how long it lasts and how to check a specific car.

Yes. Tesla's new vehicle limited warranty, including the battery and drive unit coverage, runs with the vehicle rather than the original purchaser, so the remaining balance is yours when you buy the car.
Eight years from the in-service date, with a mileage cap that depends on the model - 150,000 miles on Model S and Model X, 120,000 on Model Y and long-range Model 3, and 100,000 on rear-wheel-drive Model 3. Whichever comes first ends the coverage.
Tesla warrants that the battery will retain at least 70% of its original capacity over the warranty period. A pack falling below that inside the term is a warranty matter. Most used Teslas sit comfortably above it - our measured figures are published on each listing.
Open that vehicle's page on this site. Where we have recorded the expiry date it is shown as a date; otherwise the page shows the manufacturer's term for that configuration and says plainly that the remaining time is estimated from the model year.
