Tesla- 8 year warranty

[zilo]

Just recently signed up for a test drive of the model S in Melbourne.

Received this email from the CEO.

One less criticism of electric cars me thinks.

8 years warranty by any car maker is damn impressive, particularly in a vehicle of this technological complexity.

"Today, Tesla announced that the Model S drive unit warranty has been increased to match that of the battery pack. That means the 85 kWh Model S now has an 8 year, infinite mile warranty on both the battery pack and drive unit. Moreover, the warranty extension will apply retroactively to all 85 kWh Model S vehicles ever produced.

No other changes have been made to the warranty.

Here's what CEO Elon Musk wrote about the new policy in a post today:

Infinite Mile Warranty

The Tesla Model S drive unit warranty has been increased to match that of the battery pack. That means the 85 kWh Model S, our most popular model by far, now has an 8 year, infinite mile warranty on both the battery pack and drive unit. There is also no limit on the number of owners during the warranty period.

Moreover, the warranty extension will apply retroactively to all Model S vehicles ever produced.
