For comparison, here is a breakdown of the current New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage for the basic vehicle on new Model 3 and Model Y models in various regions:
– Canada: 4 years or 80,000 km
– United States: 4 years or 50,000 miles
– Europe: Generally 4 years or 80,000 km (most EU countries)
– Asia: Varies by market, typically 4 years or 80,000 km
This enhancement to the warranty coverage makes Tesla’s offering even more competitive in the Australian and New Zealand markets, alleviating any concerns about range or mileage limitations for prospective buyers.
