Tesla Extends Warranty on Model S to Eight Years, Infinite Miles
Published at(NEW YORK) — On Friday, Tesla Motors announced that the warranty on its Model S drive unit will be increased to match the warranty on the unit’s battery pack — eight years and infinity miles.
The warranty extension, according to a post written by CEO Elon Musk on the Tesla Motors blog, will also apply retroactively to all Model S vehicles ever produced. The company calls its Model S vehicle its “most popular model by far,” and notes that there will be no limit to the number of owners within the warranty period.
The post calls on the company to put its money where its mouth is. “If we truly believe that electric motors are fundamentally more reliable than gasoline engines with far fewer moving parts and no oily residue or combustion byproducts to gum up the works,” Musk writes “then our warranty policy should reflect that.”
