Battery Question

[MdlSP100D'16]

I have a question regarding warranty! So I have a 2016 Model S P100D. Battery warranty until Oct. of 2025 per Tesla App. 8 year/Unlimited mileage for this make and model. So hypothetically, say it has to be replaced tomorrow and it is a new battery. How does that work? Does that mean it starts over and I get a new 8 year unlimited mile warranty or basically with the new battery I still have until Oct. 2025? I'm assuming the latter but was curious if anyone actually knows.

Pray you have to replace it tomorrow under warranty because your warranty will not restart (even if they give you a new pack).

The reason the original vehicle, so a refurbished or new battery would still have the warranty of the original vehicle. If you had to pay for it, of course it would have its own warranty.

I'm confused by the math though. Shouldn't the warranty end in 2024?

You very likely would not get a new battery; you'd very likely get a refurbished battery with a range/capacity equivalent to yours at the time of failure with no change to the remaining warranty period.
