Excellent decision. I had three drive train replacements and was a bit worried about future costs but this completely dispersed my concerns. Bravo.
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.
Im not entirely convinced on the 60 warranty situation. The email they sent to me goes to great lengths to specify retroactive to 85. And they know I own a 60
so where exactly do I know what the changes to the 60 are?
Soon after the last ER when Elon said the Drivetrain problems were nothing more than loose plastic tie and a missing shim worth 50c, I made a sarcastic comment in another thread, '... then there should be no problem for Tesla to provide a 150k miles drive train warranty, right?'
Now Elon has made me look like a dork !!
But here is my concern though. A small percentage of owners who drive fleets or taxis might drive up the warranty costs so much, this decision may come back to hurt a tesla later. I hope this was a carefully considered decision.
It would have been better to limit the warranty to 200k miles which would have pleased everyone, and would have been an insurance against those business owners who rake up extraordinary high mileage. But of course not made a flashy headline though.
ARG! Still trying to figure out why Tesla wont let me upgrade my car to a 85kW pack!
