Does Buying a Used Tesla Still Enjoy Warranty?
2 Answers
According to Tesla's official website in China, the warranty period for used cars domestically is 1 year or 20,000 kilometers from the delivery date. Existing certified used cars can continue to enjoy the remaining warranty service under the original "New Vehicle Limited Warranty" for 4 years or 80,000 kilometers. After this service period expires, the "Used Vehicle Limited Warranty" will provide an additional 1 year or 20,000 kilometers of warranty service. Below is a detailed introduction about Tesla: Introduction: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company that produces and sells electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. Main models: Tesla models include Roadster, Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, etc.
I bought a used Tesla Model S last year and found the warranty issue quite crucial. Generally, a used Tesla still enjoys the remaining portion of the original factory warranty. The new car comes with a 4-year/50,000-kilometer bumper-to-bumper warranty, which can be transferred to you if the previous owner hasn't exceeded the time or mileage limits. The battery and drive unit have a longer 8-year warranty, which can also be inherited in most cases. It's recommended to first obtain the VIN from the seller and check the warranty status on Tesla's official website. If you purchase an official Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Tesla, the company will provide an additional one-year warranty with more comprehensive coverage. That's exactly what I did when I first bought mine—I found out there was still one year of warranty left, which gave me much more peace of mind while driving. Remember, whether buying from a private seller or a dealer, it's best to have the seller provide warranty documents to avoid disputes.
