Tesla Battery Warranty Checker — How Much Coverage Is Left?
Enter your Tesla, the month it was first delivered and the odometer reading to see exactly how much battery and basic warranty is left. It works for used Teslas too — coverage stays with the car.
Tesla's battery warranty by model
- Model 3 and Model Y RWD: 8 years or 100,000 miles.
- Model 3 and Model Y Long Range and Performance: 8 years or 120,000 miles.
- Model S, Model X and Cybertruck: 8 years or 150,000 miles.
All of them guarantee at least 70% of the original battery capacity during the warranty, and cover the drive unit too. The Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty covers most other parts for 4 years or 50,000 miles.
Buying a used Tesla?
Both warranties start on the date the car was first delivered to its original owner and transfer to every later owner automatically. Ask the seller for the delivery date — it's in the Tesla app under the vehicle details — and check it here before you agree a price.
Extending coverage
Tesla sells an Extended Service Agreement that picks up after the basic warranty, and has offered a separate battery extension for some Model 3 and Model Y cars. Prices and terms change, so check the Tesla app for what's offered on your VIN.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the Tesla battery warranty?
8 years, with a mileage cap of 100,000 miles (Model 3/Y RWD), 120,000 miles (Model 3/Y Long Range and Performance) or 150,000 miles (Model S, Model X, Cybertruck), whichever comes first.
Does Tesla replace the battery if it degrades?
Yes, if it drops below 70% of its original capacity within the warranty period.
Is the Tesla battery warranty transferable?
Yes. It stays with the car and transfers to new owners automatically, from the original delivery date.
What isn't covered by the battery warranty?
Damage from collisions, flooding, fire or misuse isn't covered, and gradual capacity loss above 70% is considered normal. The small 12V/low-voltage battery isn't part of the Battery & Drive Unit warranty.
