What is the battery warranty for a 2019 SR+?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Now that we just passed the 55,000 mile mark and that warranty is in the rear view mirror, I want to pay better attention to the battery warranty at 100k or 8 years at 70% capacity. So, is it a matter of knowing what the car originally could charge to AND then figure out 70% of this amount that the car should continue to charge to?
 
Rated range on a 2019 SR+ was 263. 70% of 263 is 184.1. When / if your 100% charge shows on the Tesla screen as 184 or lower, and you have less than 100k miles, then you have a warranty claim.

If neither of those things happen (100% charge showing on the tesla screen as <184 AND less than 100k miles), the battery warranty doesnt apply.

Nitpick: 2019 SR+ was 240 miles not 263. I think 263 was the Mid Range.

Oh Ok. I went to the tesla model 3 wiki. I am aware that wiki articles are wrong sometimes but I didnt check that one and I dont have that car. Thanks for pointing out its incorrect. This is what it says there

In any case, for this OP, its 70% of whatever number that version had, with the wheels it was delivered with. Its really going to be 70% of the energy capacity of the battery, but 70% of the rated range number will be a good place to start.

What it could originally charge to is irrelevant, since that's sometimes above or below advertised numbers.

What you are interested in is what it was designed/advertised to charge to, times 70%.

That means, as far as this OP goes, that 70% of that is 168, so my first post should have read "168 or lower".
