Tesla removing 8 year warranty

[amischwarcz@ya]

Hi,
I just bought a used 2014 model s from a dealer other than tesla. The initial drive unit and battery warranty is set to expire 9/22. Will Tesla strip the car of the warranty since I bought it from a third party? Does anybody have experience with this?

Will not remove.

As long as it wasn't salvaged or wrecked and repaired at a non-Tesla approved shop, Tesla will honor the warranty. No worries.

Great thank you. Ill definitely sleep better tonight knowing i'm covered

I believe all EVs sold in USA have a minimum 8 year / 100,000 mile warranty on their battery. It is a Federal regulation.

Tesla will not remove warranty early.

Will not remove.

my 2014 Tesla hv battery and drive unit both went out. I bought from a third party and warranty expires sept 2020. car is now at Tesla for the next 8 weeks and they gave me a loaner 2017 s for free. every thing is covered and they are upgrading the screen recall at the same time a 42500 fix for free .
